There is this girl that I know in one of my classes (we're both freshmen in college)
and we began talking before our first class, and we got along very well - at least it seemed so to me. This is going to sound lame to many, but we all sat in a random seat the first day and stuck with those seats the rest of the year...there is no just moving around and taking people's seats, because it just really bothers some for some reason (yea I know). Well this girl sits next to another guy every day, and they don't talk much or anything, but one day I decided to take his seat and sit next to her, saying "Sorry, I think I have to steal Nick's seat today...I mean since we're pals and all I should at least sit next to ya in class one day"
And when Nick walked in, not liking that I took his seat I just joked "Sorry Nick, it's only for a day, we can still be friends right?"
So anyway...I thought I pulled off being able to at least sit next to the girl without it being a little awkward, due to everybody's apparent phobia of losing their seat. The entire class we whispered stuff back and forth jokingly, and it was almost as if we were best friends...but a little on the flirty side. of course.
Well, the next day I wasn't going to be able to attend class, and I needed to know what we did, so of course I would need a classmates number, so I got the girl's number. (Obviously I just wanted her number...it wasn't a TOTAL excuse to get it, because I really did need a number for that reason...but still I'm not sure if that was the right way to get her number).
So at this point I'm thinking she MIGHT at least be thinking that I'm a little interested in her.
Later that night we texted back and forth for a good few hours...and everything seemed to be going well.
But here's where the problem starts:
After that, we didn't talk as much. I would come into class, and Nick would be in his seat as quickly as possible, obviously not wanting me to be in that seat. I texted her but she didn't text me back, and the next day I sent her another text just to tell her happy birthday...and she said "thanks sry i was busy yesterday"
But then when I tried texting her again later she ignored the text again...and she doesn't seem to be taking as much interest, even though just a few days before we seemed to be hitting it off!
I'm worried about pursuing this girl, because I don't want to be annoying if its obvious I like her, but at the same time I don't want to stop trying without her realizing I want to get to know her.
Texting or calling her is out of the question - at least for the time being - because she's already ignored the last couple texts I sent her, and I hardly have any time to talk to her in person. I'm not sure how to pull this off, and I definately don't know if she's interested in me now, or ever was and lost interest, or w/e.
Girls seem to flirt with people they don't even really like much without realizing it, and so now im just left confused with mixed signals.
The bottom line is I really, really don't want to bother her in any way, and it's becoming very difficult making this smooth.
Can anybody please give me any advice as to why she might be giving me these mixed signals, or how to pursue this? =/
