Insights Please
Hey guys,
I really need your insights on this.
Just tonight I went out with her and her brother for dinner. To my surprise, she was very friendly. But just friends. Which is good, since she used to be cold, indifference and ignores me. It gradually builded up from the afternoon but in the end of the day (dinner) she was looking forward for it. Bewildered me.
I still play it cool and friendly and do small happy talk. Everything went well, well... almost... after dinner, my car alarm went off and the remote is out of damn battery, so the sirene goes on for about 20 minutes until I found the cable under the hoot to cut. She was mostly supportive, not a problem there. I was just embarassed to them.
The problem happen just before we went to dinner. As I approached her room to pick her up, just before I knock on the door I overheard her and her brother talking about me, stop me dead in my track and cannot help but satisfy my curiosity.
Brother: Why don't you sit at the front seat of the car (we went out for lunch in afternoon, her elder brother asked me out), I felt a bit weird sitting on the front, since you always sit with him?
Her: Well, I will sit at the front seat when I'm with my boyfriend. But he is just a friend now and this is the way it should be (eastern values and cultures)
Brother: Have you considered going back to him? (me having lobbied her brother to enjoy my company)
Her: No
Brother: Then, are you seeing anyone now?
Her: No, I'm not seeing anyone who I'm romantically interested with.
Brother: Then why are you still seeing him (me)?
Her: Nope, he is the one who's trying to get close to me (making a move). I just "go on and off" with him whenever I feel like it.
Brother: Do you think you two will ever get back together?
Her: No
Brother: Is that for sure?
Her: Sure. (sound to me like a very confident tone)
Brother changes the subject, and I pretended I had just arrived.
Well, at that point I felt great dissapoinment. Shot down! Cannot help but to hide my sad face. Not depressed, I passed that stage already. Just a pure big dissapointment. I'm taking baby steps to my goal and her actions today already show a big change of attitude and improvements. I'm not thowring the rest of the plates I still have. I just don't like what I overheard. Really put me down
I was more quiet and talk more to her brother.
Well, my own analysis on this is that while she know my intentions, she sees no good in keeping the attitude of disrespecting and ignoring me. Not a bad idea to be a friend. At the same time, (today) she showed a gradual increase in her interest level on me. Friendly eye contact, asking questions (for months she almost ask nothing or even slightest care) smiles a lot, relaxed, BL pointing at me, occasional leaning forwards. there was no heavy feelings anymore. At least 90% of it. And I supported her attitude with acting like we never dated before, treating her like a sister of my friend.
When I drop her home, she hurried back to my car to ask for her room key which I said in a flat tone that she didnt put it in my car (she used to always put her keys in a specific place) In my mind I said, Aha! so, there's still some habit/memories on us in that mind of yours! I almost said it out loud to her that it's not her key, but her mind (possibly her heart too?) is still on me. Or am I just being self righteous?
While she's saying that to her brother earlier was only her opinion of how she still feels about me NOW. But I learn in this forum that woman think with feelings and they will change it like weather depending on how I consistently make her feel about me.
On the negative posibilities: she's just being polite, or worse, she is playing with me, trying to hook me up to chase her like AFC again and her IL will never goes up on me ever again. (and generally I dont believe in I'mPossible, but simply untried, if I still failed in so many ways I tried, at least I gave my best at it)
I'm still feeling discouraged now however and I havent done my best yet to quit on myself now. Feel like quiting but I'll learn nothing then. Guys, I need some help here, anything you can give me to help keep consistently raising her IL
I'm being pretty blunt here.
