A week ago more or less I had a date with this girl. Prior to when we saw each other, we had talked regurlarly, our conversations were mostly short and mundane (though sometimes it would be days without any exchange of messages), but it was overall for a relatively long period of time. This wasn't so because I was the one uninterested in the talking, but rather because she claimed to have been very busy at the time, and for that reason she didn't have much time to chat, or so she said. When we finally met, she was a little tense at first, but in the end she hugged me with some enthusiasm and gave me not one, but two kisses. Because of things like these, I find it very hard to read her. Oddly enough, she thinks I'm the one who is hard to read, but in fact nearly every other girl I've ever met has told me that I'm a very transparent person, especially in person. I find one of the things she said when we met particularly puzzling. Just a day or two before we saw each other, I told her (I don't think context matters in this case, and even if it does, just imagine the most innocuous context possible) that I would really like to have the chance to meet a nice, nerdy gamer girl and that if it so happened that we started dating and eventually became a couple, that would be like a dream come true. As you may have guessed, for reasons that are utterly incomprehensible to us mere mortals, simply mentioning that you are interested in a relationship and/or likes video games seems to be a true woman repellent. She said that she almost didn't come because, after I said I like girls who play video games, she thought "we wouldn't have much to talk about". A somewhat mysterious thing to say, especially given the circumstances, if you ask me. Another suggestive thing she did when we met was her reaction to something I had previously stated. I held her hand and told her: "I hope everything goes alright between us". She then seemed surprised and uttered: "like what, marriage?", to which I answered: "I mean I hope we can at least be friends". She seemed almost embarassed afterwards.
After our date, we've talked even less. She says she's still very busy, but I have an unwavering suspicion that she's trying to put some distance between us so that we'll eventually lose contact. After all, despite the fact that she said she thinks I'm a very interesting person, I don't have any conclusive reason to believe she really likes me, and it wouldn't be the first time that happened. Oh! how easier things would be if we could just say what we think and tell others how we feel! how many household dramas, how many true domestic tragedies could have been avoided if not for the caprices of social life! the awkward gaze, that which we say without saying and that, nevertheless, is not meant to be said, the dubiousness, the failure of every and all forms of communication - curses of the human condition! there they are, behind every marital misunderstanding, behind every ruined friendship, and yet we must deal with them, for we cannot simply turn our backs on our spouses and friends.
A second opinion will be greatly appreciated.
