Writing unit 2: Ask for advice, in a relationship

SUBJECT: Help!!

Hi Maria
 We've been on holiday here in France for a week now and I've just met this girl, Angelina. She's absolutely gorgeous, but I'm not sure how I feel about her. I need your advice.
I met her the Coffee Bar and I invited her to play tennis. Both of us ere having a real laugh and then Angelina invited me to a party with her friends. When we were there, she basically ignored me to a party with her friends. When we were there, she basically ignored me and started flirting with a boy. But when I said goodbye, she walked to the bus stop with me and neither of us could stop talking.
I've been thinking about things a lot since then. I'll probably see him later, but I'm not sure what to do...I don't know about ask for going out. She seems very different when she's with his friends. What do you reckon?
