When a girl asks you this?

Hi.There is a girl I find amazing and like her very much.People say she probably likes me as a freind or likes me as freind for now but also possibly something more like a possible future girlfriend.

She recently asked me if she could see a picture of my mother and my parents?

Since I'm a guy and sometimes terrible at hints,people say this is a good sign.

Is this true?

Thankyou very much whoever answers.

Yes.

She's expressing interest about your family and character.

Thanks for your reply Rakas👍

Yes,I was briefly talking about my family and she aid she wanted to see an image of my mother and my parents.She did speak about her parents for a couple of seconds.

She is or can be touchy and she never texts ever but when in person she doesnt say nothing first but when I talk she accepts things from me,she talks right away and then we are taking smoothly with mo boundaries.She then can feel relaxed and opens up again as usual then starts talking to me first(after I started it) and she does or use to mirror me and if I do something I'm not sure about and ask her what she thinks she does exactly what I do.She is very shy and does open up and she has hecore stood by me when I'm talking to other guys.

I like to be freinds with her now of course but sometimes and before she can go from more freinds to more partner like..Its back and forth at times and happy but also a stress in the heart.I just want to know if she wants to be freinds for now which is fine but I'd love to date her and care for her/look after her more than freinds.(this is all because I really liked her) but people say she Is testing me? Testing the waters? She does analyze me and how long would these keep going on for? The small finger touches really catches me.

Have you ever been in a situation or similar?

Regards

It sounds positive to me, although might just be friendship. You can usually trust your inner instinct on these things. Anyway, why not ask her on a date

Thanks for your Advice Zarek👍

Yes she seems to like she wants to be freinds and what is confusing is sometimes she acts and has acted more than freinds where is flirty like touching my fingers.we spent a little time together once and really dont know where I stand.It seems like a back and forth freinds then acting more than freinds like a partner then acting like friends again.Since I am a guy and we are males we have this instinct to go in a get things sorted now!! Right away from our hunter gather mindset but this doesn't work with women.

Its okay..so I am a freind but she is flirty,very shy,shows careness and I have asked her briefly twice casually if she would like to meet up sometimes and she said quickly yeah.

I asked her once if she would like to meet up and get dinner(I think that was too soon) and she said...we can sort this out(since we have each others numbers) ...that never materialized.

Recently months later(I think I missed a hint) she said she was going to a Cafe...I didnt ask where and think she was inviting me to come with her with her freinds(who a girls).

I know this takes time I have realised now and should I just keep doing what I do? And when she hints if she does,just take that opportunity?

This is a modern way and I have been reading and see that texts nowadays sometimes have meanings.She always uses Heyyy and does use blushing emojis

You’re over thinking it. Ask her out. Carpe diem!

That's a strange question (in my opinion as a girl) I've never asked a boy that, but then again, I've never really dated any. I guess it'd good she's showing interest. Perhaps ask your mum if she feel comfortable having her pics shared with your friends first tho

Hi Zarek👍

Yes I am a deep thinker

I have been told by only a few people as I don't like telling everyone but people say the opposite and dont ask her out(as she only wants to be freinds or freinds for now ) and I have asked her out already too..if I ask her out months later which is now,she might back off or feel this is too soon since she is shy,analytical,not sure what she wants and can just about deal with her studies and her job both long days and hours.

This is very hard.

Hi👋

Why do you think she wanted to see a picture of my parents? I have read online(I know you shouldn't all the time) but people say she is thinking of dating you,curious about your background,falling in love with you,thinking of a future together,general interest in you etc.This is strange I know as I have never been in this situation..plus she is different/quirky in a good way.

My mother would be fine with that.

Do you know why girls would 60%-70% of the time act like a freind then 30%-40% act like we are partners(touchy/overcaring/mirroring/talking her feelings sometimes with me openly)

It is very confusing and very very hard and for some guys(even the masculine specimens,very emotionally stressful and tiring)

I cant tell her how I feel as it's too early.
I cant ask her out again as its too soon.
I feel pushed from like a freind to sometimes she acts more than freinds etc.
In a way it hurts.

Regards.
Ask her out on a friendly date.

I think I would bring the parents topic at one point when getting to know a guy I like, guys usually tend to like girls who look like their mothers. So it would be another test to see if we fit... I don't really care about it but it is something I would be curious about. I guess she's too.

As for the mixed feelings and back and forth feeling about the relationship, she is shy, some days she'd be more open up, others she'd be shy... same with mirroring. It is too soon for a relationship if she is still like that, give her time to feel really free around you. Maybe it will only come when you are alone only two of you and not in public. Anyways, give her time and spend some time with her, start with meeting her with her friends and later maybe only two of you.

Hi Kathy😁


Thanks for the reply it really means a lot your advice and what you think.

I cant ask her out on a freindly date as I have asked her out already.I would love to but it would be too pushy..I'm not sure if you know that I asked her already.

Ah so it really is a sign of interest here wanting to see a image of my mother and or a picture of my parents.

That's funny as she does not look nothing like my mother.A complete different ethnicity.

Yes I wont rush anything and keep being myself and proud to treat her like a woman (I am chivalrous) and feel proud to be this way.In a way she makes me feel like a real man.A young man I'm supposed to be.I am early 30s.

Yes we did do random activity together once where we had our own changing rooms and she wore a dress and asked what I thought etc.When we are alone she does have that extra relaxedness but she is or was relaxed with when I was talking once to a guy..she would by me but slightly behind me.

That does sound very logic.

Thanks again Kathy👍👍

I guess she's just wanting to see who your parents are so she can get you know you and them.
I think girls are just emotional and clingy because girls like that. We like to cuddle with people, especially people we like. Girls have different emotions compared to most boys so thats probably why their behaviours are up and down depending on the day. (PMS/PERIOD CYCLES)
Just try and be stright forward with her and ask her how much she likes you because only she can actually answer your questions correctly. -IF that's to scary rn then probably ask her sister, bff or a close friend to find out how she might be feeling.

Evening!

You have a great point,in general I obviously know women are up and down all the time as I'm way past a teen and being immature etc and good with speaking to all types of people but this instance,its yes and no,but you are totally right.As a guy it really does knock you off guard off balance(especially someone like myself) when you are kind of infatuated with her.She has told me once text she was tired from "womens things" and that was nice as I like the trust and openness as I am as honest as I can be.

I am quite straight but If I be too straight I think it will backfire as she is still getting to know me and feel she is testing me.When I walk around she can sometimes just look at me and just analyze me.Sometimes she has analyzed me without looking at me and making it obvious where she looks on the floor or an an object but she is watching me.This can be from 3 seconds to 2 minutes.

I agree only she can but I think since she is shy she just couldn't deal with it.Plus I am not totally sure how much she ...really...likes me...I dont know🤔

I dont know anyone.No sisters,none of her freinds...there is only one other girl who she talks to and she is a shy girl..quite unconfident herself.Early 20s.

Thankyou toppby55
