<human>: Made this post a while back that can provide more background for you if you desire...

Basicaly there is a girl who I have met through my parents and have now hung out with on my own. This past Friday we went to the movies and she said that she had a lot of fun and that she enjoyed talking movies with me so I thought all was good. Today I found out from my parents that a friend of hers, let's call him Dan, had taken her yesterday to the mall and for her birthday (which was a month ago) let her pick out pearls to wear as a necklace and as a RING! So my mom mentions to her that Dan probably is making a move and the girl doesn't believe it and thinks he's just being nice... So my question is, HOW IN THE HELL DO I COMPETE WITH THAT!?! How can I make my intentions clear that I'm romantically interested in her and how do I compete with a guy who's throwing everything at her except the kitchen sink. Also another thing is should I even do that considering she is apparently oblivious to other guy's signals? Help please!

Provide a brief overview of the text.
