I think bad hearing prevented me from potentially hanging out with this girl?

[Watdsas]

Last Friday after work, she asked me to walk her home, she asks me this at times, and I waited a few minutes until she was ready and when she was she thanked me. Then I believe she whispered "I'm gonna smoke some weed!", which I later thought she might have said "Let's go smoke some weed". So I walked her home safely and said our goodbyes

Anyway, twice this week after my shift at work and before hers, she asked me if I could help her give her dog a medicine. It was fairly easy, we hung out a bit in her house before walking her back to work for her shift, the first time after we were done with the dog she pulled out some weed and we smoked a bit before walking her back, the second time we just hung out a bit

So I think I missed out on a potential longer time with her last week possibly? And now this week her family is visiting

It's possible. Life is the perspective you take. I say that because I truly want to improve & master that in my own life. Usually, I would say "ok let's clear the board of all opinions & assumptions and find the most positive possibility. However, in this circumstance, it's not really needed. I got good news for you. shhh it's a secret Women/Girls want what they can't have, not 100% of the time but at the stage you described certainly more often then not.
My advice, take it as a gift, it is very hard for men to play hard to get when they really like a girl. It rarely comes across genuine, it can even come across as rude for some.
You seem to have made a little mystery of yourself. Go with it. I would not ask if you misheard her, let her think you truly had prior engagements or something respectable only if it comes up.

I would hate to see you run into problems regarding not hearing her, as women love to communicate and be heard.

If your hearing situation is serious, and none of the new technologies out there help. I'm so sorry. If they can help, there are many options not even visible online.
If you can't address the problem before you see her next, you should lean in lightly touching the back of her shoulder directing her closer to your ear (very gently & lightly) while asking her to repeat herself.
Touch gentle as such, is extremely underestimated, utilizing touch gently to direct as a man is extremely attractive. It speaks volumes while allowing for great eye connection.
You can either continue to do the above, until she realizes and hopefully automatically leans in when speaking near that ear.
I find honesty is usually best with serious topics to avoid any possible misunderstandings and many are possible in this situation.

I would not bring up that u didn't hear her. It's a great time to listen and pay attention to mannerisms. Utilize that gentle touch directing her a little closer to your ear with full eye contact while directing her toward you, then again after she repeated herself and you release your hand from the back of her shoulder.
If done right, she herself might forget what she just said into your ear. ( it's in the eye contact)

[Watdsas]

Thanks for your answer! She has called me mysterious in the past, but I still don't want her to think I blew her off. I mean she invited me to her apt so she's likely ok with it? I have been giving her space lately and it seems to have resulted in her inviting me twice this week for that, so I hope it keeps working. I'm not playing hard to get, more like I'm clueless

I'm very bad with the touching. Like very bad. She did a lot one time we went out but I barely reciprocated, other than feeding food into her mouth and touching her lips. She didn't seem to have a problem with that either.

I'm gonna try what you said, or at least baby steps, starting with the shoulder and maybe bringing her closer

[Talia808]

If you have fed her food, and touched her lip, that's super hott. I think u have this one in the bag. I'm not recommending to play games, just simply accept the little gifts as they come. Flirting as you are, and good at, (its a art) yet haven't gone over has probably got her thinking of you constantly. You seem like a nice guy, women, particularly the ones who are still figuring out who they are themselves can sometimes seem as bad as guys can sometimes be.
my only suggestion with the little knowledge I have, if you want a relationship with her you have the opportunity to help her see out her worth. Take that as you would like.

women wear so many hats. what I have learned is most girls under 30 r still figuring out who they

[Watdsas]

Accept the little gifts as they come, I love that actually! Her telling me to help her twice was certainly unexpected and like a gift after giving her some space. For some context, we both had breakups recently, hers very much recently, which is why I have had issues making a move, especially after she cancelled two plans we had made which were her idea for the most part. I really wanna ask her out but with her family here I fear another cancellation

Help her see her worth. I'll try to remember that one. She seems very confident but that could only be what I see

She also started to make weird animal noises around me when we hungout this week. I guess she is comfortable at least?

[Bethany22]

You were still able to smoke weed with her, so what's the problem? When her family leaves, you can hang out again.

[Watdsas]

More than anything that on Friday neither had to work at all so we could have stayed together for longer, and these two times it was much quicker since she had a late shift. So it just feels like a lost opportunity, a lost opportunity on something I didn't even know I had

silver linings I guess though

[Guy13]

Damn, that's a shame. Did you get it all straight with her?
