Ask Dan & Jennifer

There is this girl I like very much. We've know eachother for some time now, and I am sure she is very shy. I've gathered some info about her-she's never had a boyfriend. She is 20. I am 19. I've had a crush on her for about a year. She refused me. I didn't insist. After a few months, I think she might have developed the same feelings for me. She called me(it was an anonymous call), we talked, I realised it was her. Then, the conversation got out of hand. I thought she was making fun of me, and I mocked her myself. Then, I realized what I had done, and asked her what was with that call. She didn't admit it was her, I insisted, but nothing. Please note I am positive it was her. Then, I had to leave the country for a while, and when I returned I asked her again. Needless to say, she was furious with me. I managed to calm her down. We started talking. Maybe it was better like this, because I got to know her better. I told her I like her. She refused to go out on a date with me. I insisted. She told me she was thinking of someone else. After a little time, I asked her if she is proud- not only is she shy, she is also refusing me, I like to think, because of her pride-she admitted she was proud.
Moreover, I seem to have a bad reputation, she has seen me with lots of girls, and her friends can't stand me-I don't know why-we don't even know eachother very well.
How could I get through this wall of pride she built around her? I won't give her up no matter what, and I care for her, but she does not believe me... I want a relationship with a girl like her. I want to settle down a little.
