Does she like me?

[Pathan]

She is constantly in my line of sight or is close to me, even when I try to position my body so that I don't look at her or am not facing her. She always pays attention to what I am saying or to the conversations I am having in crowd situations. However, when people misinterpret what I am trying to say, she corrects me or tells the crowd my true intention like she knows me. For example, if I say something and people laugh because they think it's a joke, she'll say "No, he's serious." She corrected me aloud when I said that maybe Enrique is a woman's name (she said,"No Enrique is definitely a guy's name.") but that was after I shifted my line of sight away from her when she moved closer and sat nearer to me. In a private conversation, she was complaining to friends that I sit as far away from her as possible (I don't even keep track of where I sit by her).

If she liked me, why would she correct me when I am wrong, in this instance when I mistook a male name for a female one? Does that show a lack of respect or at least a lack of looking up to a guy?

It would be easier to make a judgement with a bit more information. What is her eye contact like, and her body language? Does she seem to enjoy your presence? Have you asked her out on any dates?

Cheerio,

She is always facing me and eye contact is always intense. I did ask her out but she just gave me an excuse. This was a while back.

In my mind, I always thought if she just gives an excuse, it means she has little or zero interest.

There really is no textbook that will tell you, "If she gives you an excuse, turn to page 335. If she gives you an excuse but still makes consistent eye contact, turn to page 512." If you're wondering whether or not she likes you, I'm guessing you're wondering that for a reason. If you want her to like you because you'd like to be closer to her (in some way or another), and are considering approaching her but want to minimize your chances of failure (thus your post on this forum :)), just trust your gut, suck it up, and go for it.

Don't over-think. Ask yourself, "Do I think she likes me?" And give yourself only two possible answers: Yes and no - either you think she does, or you think she doesn't. If you think she does, definitely approach her. If you think she doesn't, consider approaching her anyway, because you could very well be wrong.

Or perhaps you were only wondering whether or not she liked you so that, in the case that she does, you could do absolutely nothing and pine away for her in secret until she disappeared from your life forever... :(

Good luck mate,
Alex

:bawling: Saddly, the name Enrique is just for men. I am telling you this because I am not from the US, obviously and I am a native spanish speaker. So look, that was just basic spanish knowledge. It is not a sign that she likes you. However, if she was complaining with her friends you sit far from where her sit is that IS a message. She wants to know you better. That's not a sign that assures you that she is having a huge crush on you. But if you talk to her more and try to have a stronger relationship, then you could get something out of her.

From what you have said it seems like she is interested in you to some extent. Without more info it's hard to say if she only wants you as just a friend. You said that you asked her out and she gave you an excuse. Are you sure it was an excuse? Maybe at the time she wasn't sure how she felt so I think you should ask her out at least once more. If she turns you down and does not offer an alternative, e.g. 'sorry, can't make tuesday because I'm busy but how about friday...' then she probably isn't interested in anything romantic with you.

Bottom line: If you like her then ask her out on another date. It can't do any harm. Let us know how you get on.
