I thank in advance any responses this may get.
There’s a girl in my year (let’s call her Mary) who shares a lot of the same interests as me; music, poetry est… I never really knew much about her so I decided to ask her to help me with my music performance piece, she said yes and gave me her number. We got to know each other more and more. I started to notice possible signs of attraction on a school trip; we kept to looking at each other while walking with our group of friends; I never took much notice of it. She later invited me out with her best friend; just to talk about music and stuff. It was great to see her outside of school. At school I would often catch her looking at me and when I looked back she quickly looked away. I kept talking about her more to my friends and they would go up to her asking questions. She sent me a text saying that she’s not really interested in anything else than the music project we were working on. I took this as her saying that she’s not interested in me. Whenever I spoke to her with her best friend around, her best friend would always squeal in a high pitched friendly way. Mary would still stare at me and I would often hear her talking about me to people, asking questioning about me to class mates. Sometimes when I talk to her, her voice sounds really nervous; she always tries to fix her hair. I think she also kicked me under the table once, maybe to get my attention but I just ignored it. I have asked her out to go to concerts and stuff but she’s said that she’s really busy; though I sometimes ask her if she’s got anything going on the weekend and she always says no. I’ve searched up a lot of these signs and they appear to be signs of attraction but at the same time she has said that she’s not interested in anything else than working on the music project with me. What do you think?
