The girl I like hasn’t responded since I asked her on a date

A teenage boy in a purple hoodie and headphones sits on a sofa, using his smartphone in a bright, cozy living room. The scene evokes a sense of modern adolescence and connectivity.

DEAR DEIDRE: WEEKS after I asked the girl I like if she wants to meet up, she still hasn’t responded.

Now I’m confused whether that means she isn’t interested or is she just playing hard to get?

I’m 16 and have been talking to a girl, also 16, on social media. We get on really well and I’d like to date her.
