Don't know what to do. (Long, bear with me). Advice?

brother you and i are in the same kind of boat. your situation seems to be a fairly fixable one. if she's not dated anyone, or has talked about liking anyone, maybe its because she likes you. she may actually feel the same as you about dating, but she may not want to say anything because she doesn't want to lose you either. what i suggest doing is spending as much time with her as possible, while still being the same guy you've been throughout ya'lls lifetime. keep your hints subtle, but not near as subtle as you've been making them. and keep in mind on how she behaves around you/how she acts when you start to hit on her.
