Jackie, your advice is rather good in my opinion. lol, you took some of my points :(.
John, I have to agree with Jackie regarding the "little desperate" point 'cause that is how i got my heart broken. The problem is that moving quickly into relationship brings it's inevitable end sooner. Do you know why??? It is because there isn't a strong foundation to begin with and you need one if you ever want to pursue a long-term relationship. Remember, love is like a ladder, you start from the bottom and work ur way up, but the higher you go, the more unstable the ladder can be, but if it is properly grounded or someone is there to support it, you can make it to the top. However, speaking from my experience more importantly, do not pour ur heart out on this girl just yet. That time will come later.
Furthermore, from what i've read, the girl u like broke up with another guy recently. At this point, you should not start to make a move on her 'cause when you have a break-up, they are usually not in the mood for another relationship, which is why she may have said, "i don't like any1 right now mainly". So don't be depressed by her response. She will need time to think matters over and have a break from the guy thing, especially when it ended the way it did. Put urself in her shoes and give her time.
My gosh Jackie u r good 'cause i also have to agree that you should continue to be there to support her, especially after a rough break-up. It is what friends do!!! There is also almost nothing better in a teen's harder side of life than someone who cares about you and is there for you when you need him/her the most.
Therefore, John, to answer ur question, I wouldn't really advise to "impress" her or tell her "i love you" just yet. Be a good friend right now and be patient. Take baby steps. Friendships and relationship take time and don't forget about the ladder. Good luck and take care!!! 8)
