How can you tell the reason?

[Anonymous]

I know when a girl asks if you have a girlfriend/are single there are 3 possibilities. She's either interested, has a friend who may be interested, or is just curious/making small talk. Is there a way to determine what her reason could be? Like I was talking to a girl (she's a coworker), she just said how these two people were together. I said oh, cool, etc. She then asked me randomly in a curious/interested tone if I had a girlfriend. I said no, and she said why. She then asked me about my past relationships/if I had been married before and all. A few days later she brought it up randomly, asking why I don't want/get a girlfriend. I don't know her that well, we just started working together a month ago, and I've done nothing to show interest to her. When we talk it's usually first about work but the conversation often goes to small talk/personal stuff, which she likes continuing (unless she's really busy with work). She also does often send me somewhat flirty emojis (smiling face with three hearts one, the pink heart with sparkles one). A lot of them are just sent by themselves. And the talk is casual, like if I just say thanks/no problem/I'm coming/etc. I didn't think much of them, as that can be done in a friendly way, but now I'm not sure.

It sounds like you are trying to mock her, humiliate her and judge her for what you claim is unwarranted interest in you. You may be correct in your assertion that normal people would not be interested in you and there would have to be some failure in her life for her to pursue you.

Yes if she keeps showing interest and trying to hold convo or initiates ones then its likely she's into you after asking such a question.

Another big thing is when they laugh often around you or more than usual even at your bad jokes.

Are you interested in her? I think she has some interest in you or she has a friend that’s interested, or she’s SUPER bossy and doesn’t realize that this curiosity drives men crazy with hypotheticals

Yeah you can tell latter often. She likes you go for her and don't go for the friends with benefits! see how it turns out having fun dating!
