This girl is so subtle..

[lambda]

and that's why I am so interested! I'm having a really hard time in finding out if she is interested or not, because she is so subtle. What i can say about her is that she is pretty shy, and seem to be a nice person. She's also good-looking (and quite tall).

 

When I first noticed her she seemed to be very shy and nervous, but she showed some interest by asking me small questions. I had to summon a nerve before I talked to her for the first time, but when i did I just put on my biggest smile and asked her a few questions. Her reaction was very genuine and she flirted with enthusiasm in her own shy way (touching hair, looking down, smiling at me, laughing). After that she (and her friend) started some sort of a subtle playful behavior; for example she and her friend came over and asked a really simple question, then laughing at each other when i told them the answer. Sometimes she hardly payed me attention when we were talking in a group, but sneaked a peek at me and smiled when she saw that she had my attention. Sometimes if i make a joke that really isn't funny she smiles subtle. If i compliment her she giggles coyly. I've also seen her pretending to look at everything around me, while she actually looks at me.

 

I know that she is shy, but is she also playing hard to get or is she just not interested? Although she opens up a little when her friend is with her, she clams up totally if i meet her alone. This happened a while ago, and she seemed to avoid me for a while afterwards. I sent her a text asking if she was going to the class party. She just answered my questions (she had not decided yet), but did not ask anything back. So i wrote that i hoped she was coming.

 

After that her avoiding behavior has stopped, and she has opened up a lot more. From her not-so-great response to my text you could believe she wasn't interested, but it could also be that she felt embarassed because she clammed up and ran off the other day. I don't know.

 

Her (and her friend's) behavior is puzzling me. A few days ago I "catched" them sneaklistening to our conversation.

 

At the party i didn't get any special treatment. We talked for a while a couple of times (and smiled genuinly at each other), she initiated the second conversation, and she was in a great mood. She was drinking and not so shy this time as she talked freely with others too, but was nervous when she had noone to talk with. I also saw her tapping one of the other guys shoulder once while they were talking (he has a gf). She moved closer to me but at the same time turns away when talking to someone. I have catched her looking at my body, then she looks away fast. I could not see her casting a extra glance at me at the party, but her friend did and smiled subtle. Generally her friend seem to watch me, but i doubt that her friend is interested as she told me she has a boyfriend. So what is going on?
