Is this girl into me?

[redstar17]

So I'm looking for some advice about a girl I've been talking to recently.

I'm 27 finishing a masters at university in the UK. Around November last year I was put on an assignment with a girl and did a zoom chat with her to go over some work, we chatted a bit about work but mostly just chatted as you would on a date (got to know eachother, chatted about how **** lockdown is etc.) for about 2 hours. She's a good 7.5/10 and my type, I think around 23/24, proper English rose type posh girl. Since then we've texted on and off for the past few months, mostly about work over whatsapp.

This was until the past week where we've been texting almost everyday, until she invited me out for "a drink and go discover the city" (where we attend university), when she comes back from her parents house in May. I said sure, let me know when you're back, and she hasn't responded to that text yet (its been 48 hours).

So my question is: is her behaviour indicitave that she's into me? And how should I manage this situation to escalate moving forward? FYI she rarely responds to me immediately, usually waiting a couple of hours between texts, but always responds.

Any tips welcome, thanks.

Wait for her to come back to you and let you know when she is back in town , and set up the the date

This might sound like a stupid question (I came here from a relatively inexperienced background in dating due to multiple LTRs in my 20s), but do you think that she views this as a "date" or do I need to make my feelings explicit in that sense?

it is more likely that this is the case , than it is not

the only way to know is to set up a meeting with her and escalate , and see where this goes

No, she's full of shiiit. You're her text buddy, her orbiter, her platonic friend. And you've wasted 2 months of your life.

Bear in mind in the UK we have been in full lockdown for the entire time we've been talking, lockdown has just been lifted and now she's offering me to meet up

Sorry bro, most people on this forum are children who know about love, and they know about sex. And, like children, they often confuse the two. Don’t listen to people like BatSoup who think the only way to get a girl is to get into her pants on the first date. They will never have a good relationship because they have already damaged their own brains too much with this stupid mindset.
P.S. Doesn’t sound like she’s into you bud but you could escalate it and see how things go

Thanks for the reasoned response. What are the indicators that she's maybe cold? Just asking as she suggested the date

You might have flagged yourself as a friend when you did not make your intentions clear. Also, it is true that texting her for months on and off will probably have caused her to lose any interest she had in you. Girls hate waiting. But contrary to many beliefs you will find on this site, it’s not too late. Next time you text her, invite her to a coffee at a nice little bistro outside and chat. If you are clear enough in your intentions everything should go smoothly.
Also, if she is into you, she will probably be responding to your texts very quickly. If she is waiting a long time to respond, she probably isn’t into you

1) You wont know which is which until you escalate physically when you see her, and see what her response is. That's the only question that really matters... is she more or less receptive, or not receptive, when you break the touch barrier. You may or may not have a gut feeling about this.

2) Dont get hung up on trying to scry any one girl. It's a numbers game, you cant know or control what she feels at all times. Just make your move and move on.

I think this is likely the truth but then again, as others have said, hard to say before you meet face to face. I remain optimistic as she proposed the date

No need to say anything. Meet up with her, have fun and escalate when the opportunity arrives

 

[redstar17]

She likes what she sees so far. That's why she invited you out.

It's an opportunity to see if there's real chemistry. If there is (which you can help create), then you have an opportunity to flirt and escalate.

Because you're inexperienced, you're asking "is she into me?" That's not a question you need to ask - ever. All girls are into you until they reject you. And if they do, it's because they're just silly and won't get the chance to enjoy your full awesomeness. Just assume attraction and go from there, relax and have fun. And like mentioned above, it can't hurt to socialize with other chicks.

Yeah that's how the optimist in me is trying to see it, I'm just wondering why she hasn't responded to me yet... maybe I'm overthinking it.

I'm sure a lot of guys sympathise but part of the issue is I see her as a bit out of my league, I guess I'll have to see how it goes on the night and try to escalate physical contact when I can

OP just a couple of things you need to learn, you also need to adopt more of a mercenary mindset, stop thinking women are precious in your mind

1) women rinse men of non-sexual attention(ie they pimp out your time). they extract it like money, through, DM's, you being her therapist, etc and they usually give the man nothing.
2)shes not single, no woman is single they have a host of alpha/beta men they are spinning. Never make out you know or get jealous
3) women are sneaky as hell.
4) ignore what she says, she will say youre perfect in the AM then ghost you forever in the PM...and you will be like WTF WTF?????
5) you are treating women to boyfriend vibes before them earning boyfriend vibes, she has received her currency there is nothing for her to wonder about

hope that helps

It's not just that, though. The whole thing has been based on work/study and totally platonic. It's a waste of time to talk to a girl for this long without making a move.

I understand that you used that as your in, but you have to move past that stage as quickly as possible.

As for her being flaky about meeting up and so on - talking about meeting up is not the same as actually doing it. Talk is cheap. You need to meet up, make a move and only then you'll see if she is interested or not.

My opinion: she’s interested in you. I disagree with the others saying this is platonic. You’ve developed a rapport with her from your assignment over zoom and subsequent texting. Ironically, part of the reason she probably finds you attractive is that you have that good rapport and she wants more from you. Here’s how you screw that up: by suddenly wondering if you should text her more and start stupidly reaching out. The ball is now in her court to reach out when she’s back.

She will - or maybe she finds another guy before she comes back and you don’t get any shot. Talk to other women in meantime and don’t get hung up on her. She likely reaches out if she’s single when she gets back to the city. If that is the case you are in a very good position. Don’t screw it up in the meantime.

Generally if you have to wonder if a woman is into you the answer is no.

I agree. Just from the title of this thread I knew what the deal was.

Also, women that like you don't avoid meeting you for months. Covid or no Covid.

Because she's a biatch

1. The problem is you texted with her TOO MUCH. The act itself killed the attraction, if any.
2. If you HAVE TO wonder, the answer is always NO.
