I was interested in this woman but when I asked her out she said she "had plans" but perhaps next time. So I forgot about her and now she is actually approaching me and starting to hug other guys in front of me and things like that. I think shes trying to make me jealous, but I just dont get why, since I already asked her out once and she said she was busy.
Anyway, how should I react when she hugs other guys in front of me? Act like I didnt see it, or that it bothers me? And should I bother asking her out again? Or wait until she comes to me since I already asked once?
How do I play this one? I don't want to look like a desperate chump with no dignity, yet I keep thinking mabye I should ask 1 more time. What would you do?
Just because she gives you IOI's it doesnt mean she likes you. They could be friendly IOI's and its YOUR responsibility to distinguish whether they are friendly or more so. So she could just be being nice as a friend, and then you go and ask her on a date. In which case shes not aiming to make you jealous, but as you notice it so much it looks like shes doing that unintentionally lol. Or she could like you, its just that you may not have established enough comfort to get her on a date - or shes keeping you on your toes. Which would explain the attempted jealousy tactic.
How do you deal with an attempted jealousy tactic like this? Reverse the roles. Instead of her thinking that by doing what shes doing your getting jealous, make her think that your thinking that that behaviour of hugging other guys actually makes you happy. For example -
When you see a guy that she starts hugging - ''Oh dude thank god for that - i never thought she was going to leave me alone''. - or - before she hugs him ''I will pay you 100 to take this girl off my hands right now dude I swear.''
She is going to pick up on the fact that you dont care. So why would she bother with this tactic again? Just keep your eye out for other games
