    My soul mate
    Well the thing is that I have met this girl in university, and she seems as the perfect match for me.
    She has many similarities with me, concerning her love of writing poetry and her music taste...
    And I just feel happy beside her, and when I am away from her I just go nuts.
    I have become her friend and I am happy with that (not a close freind\which I'd preffer), we have spoken about some topics and she thinks I am an intelligent and a special person.
    But I just can't tell her that I like her sooo much, and I just can't stop thinking about her for second.

    But my question is the following:
    How can I make her love me, or just let her feel as if I am the right person for her? I need her to feel something towards me, and show it too.
    This is a sensitive case, so I just need an actual realisitic answer.

    Thank you :)

    Listen. I can't overestimate the importance of listening to her when she talks. When she stops, respond with a thoughtful, witty if possible, remark. Your girl seems pretty intelligent: generally, the best way to win over smart girls is to be equally smart.

    Make sure you look nice when you're around her. You don't have to look like a male model, just neat and presentable. Wear clothing that expresses your unique personality.

    Show that you're interested in her. Pay her compliments-- does her hair look nice today, or is the last poem she wrote really good? Touch her to emphasize a point. If she mentions an author or musician in conversation, look him up and casually mention him next time you talk. But the keyword here is subtle. Let it work subconsciously. You're not going to get anywhere if you come off as creepy.

    SMILE!

    Valentine's Day is coming up: perhaps an anonymous poem or such would be a nice gesture?

    Finally, the most important part is simply to ask. At some point, take her aside and ask her. If she thinks you're an intelligent and special person, then she will probably say yes. Even if she says no, it's all right. You can grieve and move on, rather than tying your life to someone uninterested. Pining after lost love is a loser's game. In the end, all you are is miserable and alone.

    I wish you the best of luck.

    Hi, yamen21!

    That was an excellent answer that you were given by SarahParker above!

    I would just like to add, that you need to give things time and to not be in a rush. You can't make her love you. However, you can do things like SarahParker mentioned that might lead to love happening.

    I wish and hope for only the best for you!

    Thanks!

    Well the answer was great, but she doesn't know that I am aware of what she likes. Furthermore she sometimes shows sings of interrest and sometimes her actions becomes vague and unclear.

    How can I give her sings that makes her feel that I am interrested in her, but not scare her off, and make her feel that I am captivating her in my emotions?

    Thank you

    Yamen,

    I don't want to be rude because I can see that you are quite.. invested here.

    But you can't make someone love you or even like you.

    You can... try to get on with them.

    You can... show them that you like them.

    But you cannot... make them feel the same way!

    You seem like a very sweet and caring guy and if she doesn't see that, appreciate it and hopefully reciprocate.. then she's not the one for you and it's time to keep looking.

    Well thank you, it was a very logical answer.

    But what I am trying to say, is that I can see that she has interrest in me, but I just want to make sure without looking like an idiot.

    You can't.

    Your doing well. You can see that she has interest and you have interest for her.

    Don't rush it.

    And by the way, you're going to look stupid at times, I can't think of a better reason than your 'soulmate'!

    Thank you.

    But when you say "dont ruch it", is it OK that it takes years to build a relation, after being close friends??

    Well see the thing is there's the 'friends zone' and you, my friend, do not want to get into that. It's when she can only see you as a friend. So when I say don't rush it I mean with love.

    Make sure she knows that your interested and see how you get on.

    So the best thing to do, is to constantly show her that I am interrested, and try not to get into the friend zone.

    Sorry for being annoying :P
    But is there a way not to become a close friend of her and in the same time, still be able to stay beside her and have fun with her, in order to show her messages that I like her?

    Don't constantly do anything!

    Ask her out on a date. Just ask and see where you get from there.
