Girl approaches, clearly flirts, and then talks about bf

Post Reply New Topic

I'm thinking, perhaps, fake boyfriend, but not really. But I wonder if she did it to test my reaction, and I failed the test when my body language changed (did it?) after she dropped that in there. She at some point started to act embarrassed and then removed herself from the conversation. I'm thinking it was a body language reaction.

I did recently get hit on by a girl who had an actual boyfriend, so this is all confusing to me. I need a translator device for NT girls.

I'll never understand.

Things like that have happened to me recently as well. If her boyfriend was anywhere nearby, she could have been using you as a power play over him to prove to him how easily she could get with another guy. Once she felt like she made her point, maybe she got out of the situation?

Some girls are just naturally flirty, do that might have just been her personality I have friends like that, they usually dont mean anything by it.

It's hard to say, though it is typical neurotypical behaviour.
I've actually had similar full fledged conversations with men before where I've been able to end up calling them on their bluff based off of their inability to keep their lies separated and linear with one another.
There is nothing better to watch than to witness them fall over themselves when one is able to do such a thing.

Bleh.... head-games.

It could be anything... I'll place my wild bet on her compulsively needing to feel attractive at all times, thus will flirt with anyone and everyone just to have them respond and boost her ego.

This:

I've had things like this before. Don't overthink it and just move on

It's a way of showing how desirable she is. She played a game with you.

I think this is pretty common, the girl who was attracted to me in college openly talked about her boyfriend every single chance she got. It's possible that she wants to make you jealous. Or that she is very concerned with her relationship at this point, I've noticed some women can feel trapped at some point when things start to get more serious, and they have a subconscious desire to be a free bird again and get to enjoy another's skies.

Worse things could (and sometimes do) happen. Ever happened to you that a girl told her ex-BF that you were her new BF so that the ex would hit you instead of her actual BF (who's nothing but a big fat coward and phones you from the receptionist's desk asking you to bring down his briefcase so that he isn't seen carrying it)?

I'm a woman and I've had guys mention a girlfriend out of the blue when I'm talking to them. Possibly that's an embarrassing admission but I think they mentioned their girlfriends because they thought that I was flirting with them, but 9 times out of 10 I wasn't. For example: I was in a movie theater once and struck up a conversation with the guy sitting next to me. We were having this totally pleasant conversation about Jim Jarmusch and he suddenly mentions (with unnecessary force) that he has a girlfriend. From my perspective it was a total non sequitur and I just kind of let it pass and thought "Congratulations " because from my perspective we were just chatting while we waited for the movie to start.

My point is, not every girl who talks to you is trying to chat you up. She might just be talking to you. Like people do.
