So about a month or two ago I started reading a body language book. I mostly was interested in the part about courtship and signs of attraction. I began to notice some signs in this one shy girl. At that time I didn't have any feelings for her. I observed for about a week and got a pretty strong feeling that she liked me. I checked with her friend just to see if I was right and apparently she didn't like me though, though I didn’t know if her friend was telling the truth, or just didn’t want me to know. So, I continued to observe and checked up more on body language and I became convinced that she liked me, and I began to like her. At one point the classes were changed up a bit for about week, and she was seated across from me on the other side of the table, and she kicked my foot gently, so I returned it and we started to play footsie, this was repeated for the next couple of days (then the classes changed back and I was no longer sitting across from her). Here were some of the signs I noted when she was either talking to me or sitting/standing close to me:
1) semi-constant looks at me
2) when i looked back at her she would quickly look away and sometimes touch her hair
3) when she was sitting open her legs and point them at me or sometimes she would cross and uncross them
4) when standing she would generally have one foot pointed towards me
5) she would rub her inner-thigh slowly and glance at me
6) flick here hair over her shoulder while exposing her armpit
7) wet pouting lips
8) limp wrist
9) expose her under-wrists
10) angle her body so it was pointed at me when she wasn’t concentrating on other things (like the classwork etc)
I wanted to ask her out, yet she was always quite shy around me, (even more so than normal, except when we would text, then she would be just fine). She never started the conversation but always talked when I started the conversation, yet hardly made eye contact. Then one day my friend got back together with his ex gf, they had broken up originally because the girl was to shy to talk to him but then got over it, so when she asked me about that while texting. i told her and put some emphasis on the to shy talking part in hopes she would pick up on that. A couple days later she started talking to me more and was less shy around me, I didn't know what happened but assumed that the texts I sent her had something to do with it. I became overconfident and stopped checking her body language, and now that I think about it though the signs may have stopped though I am not sure. This was about a week ago. I decided I was going to ask her out, then a few days ago I did ask her out, and was embarrassingly rejected
. I was too embarrassed to ask her why she said no, so I asked her friend instead. She told me that the girl didn’t like me, so I foolishly told her about the footsie and body language, and unfortunately the girl over read the texts. She apparently said that the footsie never happened, and thought that I was crazy or something, and is now mad at me for thinking that. My question is what happened? Did I misread the signs? Was I imagining things? I am guessing that when she apparently overcame the shyness, she actually stopped liking me, but from what I’ve heard from her friends she has never liked me (though I haven’t actually outright asked). I am really confused and feel like an idiot. Could anyone offer some insights or guesses? It would be greatly appreciated.
