A HB I know through friends in my social circle is either very indecisive or is a master at playing mind games.
I figured this HB was uninterested. While we get along well, we only hang out in group settings, it usually takes a little while to get her going conversation-wise, she waits about 2 hours to text me back unless it's urgent, and I wind up initiating at least 90% of the time. At the same time, HB also exhibits some behaviors that very much conflict with what I previously mentioned.
The basic ones are her laughing at most of my jokes and actively contributing to the conversation (once she gets going). The intermediate ones are that she's not afraid to bust chops when we banter and that I can usually get her to go along with something (at parties, we play on the same drinking team). The big conflicting behavior?
She keeps tabs on me. HB recently slipped while we were "arguing" (teasing) and said she reads anything I tweet or post on social media. However, she's mentioned reading my tweets/posts a few more times this past week - citing particular examples - so this was not an innocent slip. There are times I tweet/post to her, and she responds in person the next day instead of on the site. While I laugh it off and joke that I'm glad to keep her entertained, I feel there is some hidden message she's trying to convey. She also appears to know or at least remember my work schedule in terms of when my day ends. Most uninterested HBs tend to not care. In short, it looks like HB is watching me more than I think.
While HB is a normal, cool chick, this is some odd behavior. Anyone want to take a guess as to what's going on? What it always comes back to for me is, "Why is a HB who shows signs of disinterest so curious about what I'm up to?" If it helps, she broke up with her bf of several years about 5-6 months ago, and we have very similar personalities (only big difference is I'm really outgoing and she's considerably less). This has essentially turned into a battle of wits, as we both want to be the smarter one in the room.
