Search Results: stares but does not speak

People tell me that she "really likes me as a best friend", but if thats true, why is she weird towards me?
She once admitted that she's jealous of me.

Is she trying to 'use' me or something? She tries quite hard to befriend my friends, who she doesn't know very well. And she tells me all these stories of people who she was friends with and how they treated her badly... more like she's the one being weird towards them. So basically, she doesn't have many friends, and i can kinda see why.

She's acting hot and cold towards me, but is really friendly towards other people infront of me!!
She's been acting even weirder lately, she would walk past me, staring at me weirdly, and doesn't even say hi to me. She doesn't seem happy to see me, but yet, she still calls me her "best friend" when she's talking about me to others.

But whenever she does speak to me, She's always wanting to make plans with me and spend time with me (whilst acting weird and moody around me). So she's always trying to make plans, but is always moody towards me, whilst being nicer towards other people.

What doesn't help is that her boyfriend is sometimes flirty towards me (i don't like him that way, and i tell him to stop!!)
Her boyfriend is muslim and she's white, but she tries to be a muslim (dying her hair black and wearing fake tan, changing her accent! 😂 just to fit in with them) which i find odd!

Does it mean that you want to get to know her better?
Or are you just physically attracted and don't want to take it any further?

For example:
a guy never used to take much notice of the girl at work (when they never spoke before & were complete strangers).
But, now they've both spoken to eachother a few times and became 'friends' on facebook, this guy now constantly checks her out and stares at her, but instantly looks away when she catches him staring. This guy stares constantly at her face, when having group conversations at work (when he could have easily stared at other people instead, but he chooses to just stare at her). He also sometimes smiles and laughs at her jokes.

~ Is it just physical attraction?
~ Or does he like her, but is too shy to talk to her directly?
~ or has he just started developing feelings?
