A couple of weeks ago I was hanging out with a girl and some friends. We got some alone time at the end of the night and we were talking. The tension was there and we were looking at each other and smiling, and I started to get a little closer, but when I went in for the kiss, she randomly pulled out her phone and started looking at it. I didn't get mad because I picked up on some nervous energy from her. It didn't help matters that when she put her phone down, her younger sister interrupted us, and we lost the opportunity
This isn't the first time I've picked up on this from her - there have been several times where, if we're hanging out in a group, the way she acts towards/around me is different to everyone else. It's like she short circuits around me and has no idea what to do. Sometimes she just flat out refuses to look at me, at least at first, but her body language really gives her away. I even asked her out on a solo date last weekend and she said no, but the next time she saw me (again in a group setting), she came off like a little kid in a candy shop, again, just a lot of fidgeting with her hair and jewelry and basically being unable to sit still while I was around
For what it's worth, she has zero relationship experience - I would've been her first kiss, and I'd be her first boyfriend if we get to that point. Her best friend has played wing woman for her and helped set up hang outs between us. I have been patient and understanding with her and haven't gotten irritated or upset. This is just new to me because I've always dated more experienced girls and I'm trying to understand where she might be coming from. Should also mention that she is not American/from a Western culture and lives in a different country (one that I have roots in). I am from the US and was visiting family for a few weeks and plan on being there again in the winter
Thank you
