A while back I told an old high school friend that I had feelings for her. As expected, she "took the money and run" so to speak, dating some other douchebag who isn't 1/10th the man I am. The thing is, back then (2 years ago) I was a scrawny dude with basically no goals or ambitions in life. Since then I have become a pretty good break-dancer, a lyricist, gained noticeable muscle mass, and been seen with other girls around her at a bar we both frequent. Then it gets interesting, because last march I was flirting with another girl, 3 years older than her. We left briefly to go get tacos and came back, being all touchy/flirty/sharing the same drinks etc... she was noticeably jealous, noticeably watching me the entire time. A week prior she followed me around asking I was being weird when I was intentionally avoiding her, and I swear on my life she even took a picture of me in the dark with her camera flash when she approached me doing so (she was trying to be stealth but I noticed). Then 2 weeks later I was with friends chatting and she came up, sat next to me at the bar and ordered the same shot (watermelon vodka) that we were drinking. I didn't say anything to her, but she also told a mutual friend that she came to the bar to see "a friend." The girl implied that friend was me, even going as far as to ask if I was her boyfriend. Julie (the mutual friend) would always ask me about her when I'm around, yet I never mentioned the girl to her so it was obvious they were talking to each other about me.
She is the type of girl to take attention and use it against you. A nice guy crusher so to speak, always dated the worst people imaginable but still seems to have some high traits herself, although chronically low self esteem. She stares at me every time I see her even though it's been a couple months. Part of me thinks she just misses the attention (which I'm not going to give her again) but then it seems her feelings have changed in the past year a lot.
I plan to just keep playing it cool and focusing on working out and on my bboy (breakdancing) and being openly social with people like I usually am. It drives her nuts when she sees me talk to other girls, yet even though in the past she rejected me, clearly I am feeling the tables have turned (or at least mostly have) and things are different. I still have some feelings for her, yet I know if I exposed the "weak, nice guy" within myself it would shatter my esteem in a minute as soon as she used it and went away like an ego boost thinking I still care about her. So I guess my question is how to approach the situation when the times come (and I know it will because we go to the same bar a lot as I said) and she approaches me. I won't talk to her first, but she's not the type of girl to let things go easily. I know the things I said to her really got to her but that was a couple years ago and I'm a much more manly, self-driven individual, and it shows. Now when 2 years ago I was the loner going places alone and with few friends, she frequents the bar alone even though she has a boyfriend they're never together and also I saw her on tinder so I am not even sure they are still together but I know they were living together. I think she's moving on from her past and looking for a rebound, perhaps coming back to me, but for attention or something more? And how to be sure, obviously I ain't gonna take the ole bait and have her run with the satisfaction that I still care. As I said, she goes for the bad boys, never been a nice guy gal.
