Should I take this as she isn't interested in me?

[Hitman47]

I'm 23, she is 21 and had moved to my neighborhood a year ago. We have met a few times but mostly during a situation where I can't talk to her much because of her or my parents. I have seen her mostly when she has come to take keys for her house. She is selectively extrovert. I haven't got many opportunities to talk to her. So I don't have any clear idea whether she likes me. I have met her few times at the park but she didn't seem interested in me as she looked bothered when I looked at her though I wasn't smiling cause I was little nervous (but I wore a mask so she probably wouldn't have known whether I'm smiling anyways). Then I left her alone. The next time, I saw her again at the floor passageway while leaving from home, her house door was open, her uncle caught me peeking then called her (I have no idea how her uncle even know me), they both came outside she was giggling and smiling big at me and staring at me. Recently, when I passed by her she wasn't looking bothered this time but was smiling at me and checking me out. I didn't look from far because I thought she would get embarrassed again. I looked when I came near her and said 'Hi' to her but she didn't say hi back, was looking in other direction and just nodded her head. Later on the same day I saw her with her friend, she was looking at me from far away but not when she was near me. I'm confused whether she likes me or not. Does she like me?

If she totally didn't like you, she would probably try as hard as possible to not even acknowledge you, and would try on purpose not to look in your direction. This way maybe she's open for friendship or something more, in my humble opinion.

[Hitman47]

I don't want to be friend zoned. This thing that you're saying I have read somewhere else too. But uptil now I used to consider it as a sign that a girl is not interested because I have seen this many times.

Don't forget we sometimes friendzone people based on how we perceive they are not a match personality wise. Why not in friendly manner ask her if she's up to chat sometimes (on messanger) or hanging out casually. If she doesn't see you as threat that just wants to use her/treat weirdly etc, she's more likely to sa yes. Then you can talk. After a while in between the lines you can read does she like you or not. If sje likes you, you can move from friendly to more flirty texts, but stay polite at all costs since you are neighbours and who knows what it would look like, atmosphere and everything, if anything becomes ackward.

[Hitman47]

The problem is if she avoids me and only nods at me like she did this time I won't be able to make her friend on social media. Also she is going to move in a month. I rarely meet her and don't know if I would get the chance to talk to her.

[Opinion Owner]

If she avoids you, maybe she's uncomfortable. Maybe it's exactly because you're neighbours. Perhaps you could play on that card when you do get to say hi. Like, I've heard you're moving, that's great for you. Do you want to stay in touch, like neighbours and all like that? Do you have facebook~

There - right there read facial expressions and see if there's any potential

I talked to her. Asked her where she's moving but she told she is moving to another floor which is my building only. But she will be there till her new home is ready only. So I didn't get the chance to talk about her presence on social media. She was talking with a neutral face. Maybe because I was talking with neutral face too. But she didn't see my face when I said "Hi" to her. Later in the park she was smiling at me with her friend.

Then there's more opportunity to find out 🤷‍♀️

[Hitman47]

What do you mean? Do you mean I should move on?

[Hitman47]

I know her instagram account but I don't know if it won't look creepy to her. As this happened with me before, I sent request to the girl I hadn't talked much with. Then she used to avoid areas where I would be and that blocked my opportunity to talk with her.

[Opinion Owner]

I meant, she's not actually moving away yet, there's less time pressure and there will be more opportunities to start talking/get that messanger or instagram or whatever. Pretend you don't know her instagram, so you can say, do you have instagram, let's chat there. Opportunity is when there is a natural flow and it doesn't feel like you hace to force anything.

[Hitman47]

I don't understand why she behaves so differently when she is alone and when she is with her friend. The way she talked with me seemed to me like she's blocking ways for me to be flirty with her. But still smiles at me in a flirty way and checks me out while alone. With her friend she gives me flirty smile everytime we pass by in the park and looks down.

[Hitman47]

Would she be smiling at me with her friend because she gets embarrassed because she thinks I'm staring at her?

[Opinion Owner]

Why do you even think she's embarrassed? What is embarrassing about it? Maybe she's glad/ happy, / polite-nice / flirtatious!

[Hitman47]

Because she behaves differently when alone and when with her friend. The way she talked with me it seemed like she was blocking ways for me to be flirty with her. She doesn't seem shy looking at the way she talks to other guys who she is extrovert with that is chatty and talking loudly.

[Hitman47]

She used to get embarrassed when I looked at her before I moved on and had stopped walking in the park.

[Opinion Owner]

That might be discomfort but you cannot call just about anything embarrassing. Why would she be embarrassed BY your very existance? Unless you have seen her naked through her window, that's impossible.

[Hitman47]

I used to look at her from my gallery and still kind of but not naked or anything and I haven't caught staring like a creep at her. However, in the initial days when she had just moved, I was caught looking at her aunt in her gallery who stays in the same building. After that event her aunt has never come in her gallery. Maybe her aunt would have told her that I was staring at her.

[Hitman47]

Also when I talked to her, she didn't ask me a single thing back.

[Opinion Owner]

Hm.. She might have told her but did that make any impact on her perception of you or not... 🤷‍♀️.
I only can wish you a good luck from this moment on.
