Back story:
I had a romantic encounter/ flirt with a woman who's married with kids, who probably at first just wanted to have some fun but quickly realized that she's in love. We parted ways but not without drama.
5 months later..
I apply for a job to her former colleague/employee, who had every intention to hire me. Even asked me to get in touch with her after the meeting at the work place.
The tables turned however as soon her former boss (my past flirt) got word of this.
Not only did she temporarily ghost my follow up attempts, she also stalled my application way over time until finally giving me a no. Did not reply to any comments in the emails either.
It was obvious from the get-to that my past flirt shut her down (they are also friends).
I know my past flirt got involved because it was told to me "going to talk to my former boss about this"
That was a complete reversal from the super nice woman I met in the store. Who did not think her past boss/friend would obstruct.
Now my past flirt was in love with me, and I went back to confront her about this... 5 months since I last saw her
Guess what happens. She lights up when seeing my face, then goes into lockdown mode when I ask to talk to her. Then messages me that we can stay in touch.. I reply forget it (after what she did), but added that I do care about her and was thinking how she's doing. She does not reply to that...
Does this former flirt of mine have an ambivalent love/hate relationship towards me or does this sound more like jealousy? I'm shocked that she would do this to me.
