Receiving Mixed Signals?
I feel like I’m getting some pretty strongly mixed signals. A year ago I asked this girl out and she turned me down. Hard. She told me she doesn’t talk to guys she’s not interested in so as not to lead them on and give them the wrong idea. Looking back, it was obvious that she didn’t like me.
A few months ago, she started initiating more with me. She would linger around me, ask me dumb questions, and would tease me. She invited me to an event with her and even walks out of work with me. She always remembers little details about me and something feels different now. She is always asking me questions about things I do, she signs up to do stuff at work together, and I’ve even caught her looking at me and smiling when I approach her.
I’m not quite sure what to do. I got over the initial rejection and it’s been almost a year now. But something about her reaching out a few months ago and being closer and more friendly has brought those feelings back. I want to ask for clarity from her, but I don’t want to be labeled as the guy who just can’t take a hint because she’s being friendly. At the same time, if it were someone else in my situation, I feel like everything I’ve noticed would tell me that she likes me back (my buddies girlfriend actually told me she 100% likes me but then got confused when she found out I asked her out a year ago). Anybody else been stuck in the same boat or have good advice on what to do now?
