infinity8245 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 A little bit of a long post, but I feel I need to leave in all the details to help deconstruct the situation. Anybody willing to read and offer their input would be GREATLY appreciated! So I met this incredible girl (me 25, her 23, both graduate students) because I'm friends with her roommate. Her roommate knew that we were both rock climbers, and put us in touch so that we could climb together. The week before Thanksgiving break, we met up to climb for the first time and ended up spending about an hour together and had a great time. After that, we parted ways for the night and the next day she left for another state to visit family for the holiday. While she was gone, we kept in contact and flirted over text messages. When she got back, we met up to climb again and spent about two hours at the climbing gym, though we only climbed for about 45 minutes and sat and talked for the rest of the time. Later that night, I got in touch with her again to see if she'd like to grab a couple drinks with me, and she agreed. Her roommate (my friend) later told me that she was a little bit reluctant and unsure to go out, but she pushed her to (what a good friend!). In any case, we ended up talking and laughing for about three hours over a couple beers and had a great time. At the end of the night, she made it clear to get in touch with her if I wanted to hang out again over the next week. I didn't get in touch with her during the week because finals were nearing and I was extremely busy. But, I asked her what she was doing on the weekend and she let me know that she was going to very busy studying for a final she had on Monday, but that she would be willing to take a break to grab a coffee or something. Things didn't quite end up working out that weekend because she ended up being too busy, but we rescheduled for later the next week. A couple of days ago we met up again for a few more drinks and spent another couple of hours together. In about a week, she leaves to visit family for winter break, but like last time, let me know to get in touch with her when I get done with finals so that we could spend some time together before she leaves. At this point, everything seems good, but here's where I'm struggling to figure her out. On one hand, our conversation is effortless, we get along great, we laugh, we smile, and share great eye contact. And I especially noticed that the second time we went out for drinks, she seemed to be a little more comfortable with me, turn more towards me, touching me casually here and there, etc... But, on the other hand, our goodbyes are awkward. On both occasions, I walked her to her car and we walked slowly side-by-side and that's when she told me to get in touch with her to hang out again. But, when she gets to her car, she kind of just jumps in...we haven't even so much as hugged. Maybe she's shy? I just don't know. So, I'm just not quite sure where I stand with this girl, and what I should do about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
