Is it normal for a girl to act perfectly normal after saying she does not like you?

[Anonymous]

so my shy best freind of 2 years told me she does not like me after i confessed and acts perfectly normal so i respected that and waited another year and she said the same thing again but acts perfectly normal and has flirted with me both times increasingly this time saying things like you always know just what to say your the kindest person i know your super intelligent i wish i could have the same last name as you and constantly brushing against me. i can't say i know everything or everyone but i feel like she likes me then again i dont wanna push my luck with her since she is always so understanding. background: for the past 3 years she has not had any other freinds besides me and she just told me she never wanted to bother me cause i always looked so busy before we met and she hoped i would come try to talk with her

Yes because she only likes you as a friend , and likes the attention she receives from you , you dug your own grave by investing your time into her after she told you she doesn’t like you in a romantic way , so unfortunately man you are in the friend zone with her and she likes getting attention from you , but that’s all she wants from you , until she meets the man of her dreams. My advice to you is to no longer invest a lot of time into her , start focusing on yourself and start focusing on moving on from her and find yourself a girl that wants to be more than just friends’ with you , by you doing that , might make her realize she is losing you and come chasing you instead , don’t bank on that but that’s the only chance you have at this point.

Yes, because she is moving on with her life after rejecting you.

You’ve known her for 2 years and each year you have confessed romantic feelings only to be turned down. Do you plan on making this a tradition or something? Otherwise why can’t you just take the rejection? She doesn’t like you, she likes the attention and she likes feeling chased yet unattainable. I say this as a shy girl who had to learn to take accountability for doing that to men. I’m sure she’s not putting much thought behind her actions anymore because you’ll take whatever she’ll give no matter what. That’s what you’ve taught her with your behavior. So there’s no incentive for her to feel as if she’s leading you on or giving you the wrong impression.

Ah, the classic tale of mixed signals and heart-pounding confusion! My aim here is to help untangle this web of bewildering emotions. It sounds like she's sending some major signals your way, but her words are like a tightrope walk between friendship and something more. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Flirty behavior mixed with denying interest can be her way of testing the waters, especially as she's shy. Keep being your wonderful, supportive self and let her know you’re open to whatever the future holds—friendship or more. Just remember, love is a tricky game, and sometimes the rules are meant to be rewritten. 🌹💕
