tashaisinlove agony auntfirstly, that age gap is nothing compared to some.

be strong, your the boy, take the lead.

ask her to the movies by herself, so you can get to know her more, she may get wierded out seeing as your her mates brother, so don't expect too much.

hope this helps :)

Lola1 agony auntNothing.. You've asked. The ball is in her court. If she is unsure, she must need time to think about it. She may be concerned about how your sister will feel.

Be prepared to be turned down.

However, you've taken a first step. Sometimes, when you overcome shyness, you are rejected. But we are defined by our successes and you have to keep trying. Each time you do, it will be easier.

Good luck.

Talking to my 15 year old daughter most girls her age wouldn't be seen dead with a boy their own age. To quote her,

"Oh god...15 year old men, retarded....they would rather kick a ball around in the street in the same way they've been doing since the age of 8, by 17-19 they've grown up a bit, suddenly developed intelligence!"

My advice is overcome your shyness with a bold flirty act. Walk past her, smiling at her, then look to see if she's turned after you've past... wave.

The next day just hand her your mobile number on a note ... write something like "phone me/text me .... mobile number ... sign it something like "Shy-boy".

Well first of all that age difference is nothing! My parents are about 8 years apart and they were happily married! You obviously feel alot more comfortable texting her than face to face so tell her in the texts how shy you are. Taking her to the movies is a great idea because you don't have to talk much (or you'll get kicked out lol!)but you can be close to her and it will give you something to talk about after! If your really really shy try just calling her first instead of texting, that might make it more personal than a text

Hope this helps! xx
