Search Results: girls acting like their friend

i have been a college student for about 3 years i met plenty of people and made lots of friends, three of my closest buddies have this female friend that became my friend as well (even though i never meant for that to happen and never made any effort to contact her after school) , during the first year she would be shy around me and always staring at me, even now a couple years later she stares at me sometimes when she's thinks iam not looking... i probably have to mention that i get a lot of attention from girls everywhere i go, i been approached few times and got tons of compliments from all kinds of girls, iam aslo 6'2 and work out regularly (Not ripped though) so attracting women is fairly easy for me.

lately she's been acting extra annoying ( she is annoying) and insulting me , i am chill so at first i let it slide but it got so annoying to the point i asked her why she keeps acting like that (wanted our friend to pcik her up and skip me on their way to school knowing fully well i have no other ride ) and then she verbally started attacking and threatening me (she found out iam not someone she can play with ) so i decided to cut her out of my life, and te next time i saw her i didn't look at her nor even talk to her , in fact i am far happier now and prefer to not have any female friendsv... i have heard from a couple people that she probably had something for me but i was ignoring her efforts and that got her mad and aggressive , my response Was " it was never gonna happen anyways, and acting like a b*tch is not the way to go to begin with "

For example. In Grade 11 of High School. My friend Laura, who was an international student from Columbia, sent me a text message saying "There's something I need to tell you, but I'm kinda scared to do it." I still hadn't realized what she meant at that moment since I was extremely dense but I kinda figured it out at 1am, when she turned me around to face her on the sofa and told it to my face: "I love you".

That's when she gave me my first kiss and I realized that I had been holding back my feelings out of a fear that she would tell me we were only friends. Laura, unfortunately for me I suppose, ended up back with her ex the next week, and eventually with a close friend of mine-- a decision I supported because I believed he could make her happy. Which seems to have been the right one as they just passed their 2 year anniversary and are happily in love.

Although-- back onto topic, I wonder still, since she took the lead in that situation, whether I should try not to read into things too much and start presuming things BEFORE someone lays out to me their feelings loud and clear. Like even in the less incognito cases such as: if a girl finds reasons to kiss my cheek a lot, or makes flirty jokes at me about joining her in the shower over text, or goes straight to me when she gets drunk to try to kiss me, they can be acting friendly or romantic, but it feels rude to assume they like me before they expressly say it.

So Really I guess I'm asking, do you think I should take things at face value and not read for hidden meanings and watch body language too carefully to understand how a girl I like feels toward me? Or should I be reading into everything extra hard in order to make an "educated guess" of sorts, since people still say "Men need to make the first move to seem competent."?
