Search Results: should i tease her

- She is an introvert.
- we see each other alone & away from our friends group every week. We go for lunches, to museums, coffees, Christmas markets. She gets nervous when alone with me.
- In a group, she follows me, talks to me the most and will butt into conversations I’m having with others.
- when she’s relaxed, 1 or 2 times we have had moments where we’ve just smiled & stared at each other in silence. She told me the other day how to relax her - make her laugh.
- She tells me about what she’s reading.
- She asks me questions about my opinions on things.
- She remembers things I said in the past.
- She shows admiration in her facial expression when I mention my hobbies, volunteering and ambition although later she says she should probably have more hobbies etc.
- if I ask her if she wants to do something, she says yes unless she’s genuinely busy which is rare.
- She tells me things she’s embarrassed about.
- I often see negatives like how she never texts first & how she never initiates the plans, i interpret her being nervous alone with me as not wanting to give me the wrong idea. I also notice how she looks away after a few seconds most times I try to make eye contact. Although I look away too. As a result, I tend to assume she’s not interested and start treating her like a guy friend - teasing her and punching her on the arm when she says something funny etc. Sometimes she jokingly says I’m a terrible person etc.
