Long time lurker here, first time posting. I’ll try to keep it as short as possible.
Last summer I was moved to Spain by my company. I met a girl there through common friends. I really liked her, but I was in a bad state of mind and out of a long relationship. She was also very popular (like 20k followers on Instagram and she’s following like 300 people) and me not having confidence in myself at the time thought I had no chance.
After hanging out 2-3 times among others, she started following me and put me in her closed friends list. We started chatting back and forth but due to our schedules (me working during the day and her during the night) we had no common times to get a date. When I got a week off in August, I decided to ask her on a date, she said yes but cancelled the next day due to her being sick (true story, confirmed it by another friend). I asked her out again a few days later, but she rejected it because she had to visit her home country for some days. Again, fair reason, but no comment about rescheduling on her part. I thought that it just wasn’t meant to be so I just left it there.
During the winter, we both got back to our home countries. she kept me in her closed friends list and would heart my stories or react and have some chat, not too flirty, not too friendly either. I just felt a special tension between us. Also, like out of the 10-20 times we chatted, she initiated 75% of them.
Fast forward to today, I’m back in Spain again and so is her. She’s been DMing me 2-3 times a week, inviting me to hang out (note: always among others, never the two of us) and whenever we go to her place of work (a bar) she never lets me pay for what I get.
My friends are saying that she’s really into me, but whenever I try to set a date with her there’s always something happening. I think she’s just playing with me right now, she knows I like her and she likes my attention.
How do you guys think I should proceed? Should I just let her do her thing but expect nothing? Did I fumble by not asking her out as soon as I met her last year? Should I just go and talk to her straight up about how I like her?
