Search Results: confused by a girl

I asked a while ago about if I misread things with this girl at an ice cream store. She would always talk to me about music and podcasts cause I started a conversation the first time I saw her. I went in a few times, she was excited to see me and we'd talk a bit. Even to where her coworker would give her a funny look.
Last time I went there, I mentioned I had been moving and she was concerned I was moving out of state, but she said she was happy I was staying local. So before I left I asked if I could give her my number for the podcasts 😉

She said she had a boyfriend. So I was apologetic and left.

It's been a few weeks, and I saw her today. She wasn't as warm as first but we still talked, she asked what kind of schedule do I work, how my day was going and she told me about hers. When I was paying with her, I apologized for the last time, and she was very sweet and said it was all good and I left. I said I did enjoy talking to her as I turned to leave.

But I was really confused, I figured there was flirting and possibly an attraction because how she was worried I wasn't gonna come by.

Even though she has a boyfriend, does she maybe like me in some way? Or just enjoying talking to me?

Girl: “I have been thinking and I really really enjoy spending time with you but I think more as friends. How are feeling about it? I understand if you no longer want to meet tomorrow! I hope your week is going okay x”

Guy: “I’m glad you mentioned it actually - I was going to ask you how you felt. Tbh, I’d find it difficult to just be friends with someone who I find attractive and I find you attractive. I do find I have to get to know someone over a month or 2 before I can take things to a more intimate level though.
My weeks been good thanks. Hope yours is good as well. I’m still happy to meet you tomorrow but up to you - I understand if you’d rather just part ways based on what I’ve said. x”

girl: “Okay, I understand! Thank you for letting me know :) I think then it might be better not to meet tomorrow as it could become confusing, I am also getting quite worried about covid again so bad timing. Thank you for being so kind and understanding :)
I hope you have a lovely Christmas and New year x. (I will still transfer the money for the ticket) thank you for organising such lovely dates :) really enjoyed them all“

4 months later guy likes an instagram post by the girl. Girl then likes one of his holiday posts a week later. Couple of weeks later she posts a story of herself with her niece and he says “Very cute. Your niece?” She replies “Thanks :) yes my little niece.”
