Is She Interested In Me Or Is It Just Me?

Post Reply New Topic

So I am working up the confidence to get back into the dating game after being out of it since 2011. There is this one woman in my class who I have had classes with before. Whenever we walk by each other we'd wave, smile, say hi, stuff like that. Then one day I was walking back to my residence hall after a class and she was in the hallway talking with someone else, and she said that "my Facebook posts give her life". She specified which one she was referring to, and that got me wondering if she has an interest in me or not since this particular post was made about 1-2 days ago. To me that meant that she went on my profile and looked through my feed since it wasn't a recent post.

So my question is simply this; Could she possibly have an interest in me? Or is it common for people to look through other peoples profiles on Facebook? Or is there something I am missing, seeing that isn't there, etc?

Also, she does know that I am autistic and this event occurred about a week ago if that means anything.

Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions or am I on my own with this one?

I used to work with a girl who had a tendency to snoop through other peoples profiles and like pictures from several years ago, it was very odd. The point being, some people do look through other peoples profiles for various reasons.
However, from thing else you have said, it does sound like she could be interested in you, but it is hard to tell for certain.
Are you interested in her?
If so, you can try asking her out and see what happens.

I think she could be interested in you.

I have had my eye on a few women that I had an interest in. I had been contemplating who I felt most interested in, and she was one of them.

The billion dollar question now is, how do I ask her out? I only have ever gone out with one other person, but I have known her for a few years and they were "as friends", so I really don't have any experience in asking someone new out.

you could just ask pretty casually if she wants to do something sometime. it's vague..intentionally so.

then, if she says yes! or seems very interested ('i'd love to, here's my number'), you can (then or later on the phone) continue the conversation toward dinner or a movie or something more traditionally date oriented. while, if she seems to do the 'well um, yeah, sure, maybe, sometime', you can say something about how you and some friends were going to go to x. or simply leave it at 'yeah maybe sometime' and IF she ever brings it up again, go from there.

To be honest, I really only have experience with online dating which is much simpler. lol
The only time I asked a girl out in person was about 15 years ago, we were chatting on the way home from college and I just asked her straight, if she fancied going to the cinema that evening, she said yes and that was it, everything just developed from there. I'd say that knowing her as a friend is probably to your benefit as you are already on speaking terms and if you were to ask her out somewhere there wouldn't be as much pressure around it than if you didn't really know her. I'd suggest you strike up a casual conversation with her and then after a while, ask her out somewhere, just the two of you as "friends" and see what happens.
However, I will point out that this advice is coming from someone who is socially awkward so take it for what it's worth. lol

No problem, and thank you for the advice. I was getting worried when my question went without a single reply after two days, unusual for Wrong Planet in my experience.

It might take a bit of effort to work up the courage on my part, but I think I can do it.
