Need gal's helps to interprete her signs...

[confused12345]

Hi everyone at Love Forum,

I knew this gal like a month ago, introduced to me by a friend of mine. Then, we got hold of each other contacts and start texting each other. For a month, she wasn't anywhere near me, so i'm unable to ask her out. During that time, my feelings for her is shallow, i just wanna befriend with her to know her more. I never really call her except for very few times.

After a month, she's back to our town. I celebrated her belated birthday by fetching her (first time alone together) to chill out with my friends. I gave her a simple gift as well. She thanked me for the night she enjoyed a lot.

Then the next day, she informed me she needed to go outstation for like a week due to her job's contract which due after that. All of a sudden, I feel like I'm going to miss her terribly for the whole week.

During that week, we called each other a lot. We talked bout our past, apparently she had never been in a relationship before, but did love guys before but those guys left after that without the relationships commenced. She said she has lost confidence in relationship stuff. Also, she told me if i wanna go out with her, I don't necessarily need to ask friends along. We enjoyed chatting with each other, and I feel so comfortable talking to her. She likes teasing me too.

Days later, my feelings for her started to grow stronger. I don't know why but i cant help myself to tell her i actually like her. So she knew i like her at this point onwards. She jokingly said she likes me too, but then told me she needs time and we become friends first.

She's coming back on the weekends, and has a church wedding ceremony which she asked me to accompany her go. That was saturday (last weekend), and on the same day, i went over to her place at night for mooncake festival celebration, bcos she actually invited me! (to my surprise!). She invited me alone, no other friends, and so i met up with her family members including her parents. She made fun of me in front of her family, teased me, and even bullied me, until her parents asked her to stop her nonsense, but I know very well she's merely kidding only. After that, i drove her to the nearest beach to have a nice walk before sending her home at 2am. After i reached home, i texted her, she said she's very happy that night.

The next day, which is sunday night, I dated her to karaoke lounge. At one point the air-cond inside the building is makin her feeling very cold, and she's actually shivering (i hate myself for wearin nothing along except for a t-shirt). I cant bear lookin at her suffering from shivering, so i offered a hug, but she didn't want, instead she offered her hand for me to hold her tight. As this become unbearable, we left the lounge earlier than what we paid for, she felt so sorry bout that but i smiled back to her sayin it's ok. As we left the building we came across a non-functioning slope escalator. As we walked downwards, she cant balance well (maybe of her shivering?), then all of a sudden she held my hand! She was alittle shy so didn't hold my hand tightly and securely, so i hold her instead and guided her safely down the slope escalator.

Despite what's happening between she and me, she never really say she likes or miss me(apart from the jokes once). All she said is she needs time to understand me better, and that we remain as friends first. I surely can wait, but the fact that her talking isn't sweet to me (lots of teasing though), and claiming that she asked me over her place is nothing more but a friend meaning, it does disappoint me a little, because i thought she really does like me. So now i'm not putting any assumptions that she likes me at all.

But here at Love Forum, I would like to ask bout the gals' opinions. Does she like me not? Will a typical female friend ask a guy over her house to meet her family, alone? I really love her and I do hope she feels the same for me.

Thanks for the help

Honey,

she likes the attention you give her but her teasing you all the time says that she can't relax around you. I feel that she may prefer you as a friend than a boy friend.

If you're going to let her tease you to the point her parents notice and request she stop that's a bit much. You better set the line straight and tell her to cut it out. Joke or not, one day she's going to stumble on some words that desperately hurt your feelings.

She likes the nice boy thing you've got going on. But I agree with Jayne... me thinks she likes you as a friends more so than a bf. And I wouldn't be all that surprised if a bad ass swept her right off her feet, and they both left you hanging. The goodnews- she'll run right to your waiting hand to cry, there's more bad news though- she runs right back to his bad ass ways.
