I'm fairly new to TRP (been lurking about a month or so), and need to some help figuring out if I'm being shit-tested, or if what's about to follow is a way of keeping me as an orbiter.
For a bit of background, I'm a 20-year-old college student, decent-looking, and have been lifting since last summer. Recently there was a girl in one of my classes who wanted to start talking to me out of the blue. I remember that during introductions on the first day, I mentioned being able to speak Russian and volunteering with the local police department. About a week later, one of my friends pointed at a nearby desk and said that the girl who sits there wanted to talk to me. End of class rolled around, I introduced myself to her, and she was smiling a lot and making eye contact almost the whole time. However, I had to haul ass across campus to get to another class and wasn't able to ask for any contact info.
Later that day, I looked her up on FB and suggested that we meet up at the campus coffee shop and get to know each other. She agreed to meet up, but mentioned not wanting a relationship, even though I had said nothing about dating.
She and I met up a couple of days later, sat down, and talked about classes, our plans for after college, etc. One thing I noticed was that she was exhibiting similar behavior to when I introduced myself (smiling a lot, making plenty of eye contact, although she could have just been giving off friendly body language in that case). In addition, she was constantly reaching down and fiddling with her pant legs, and generally acting awkward. She laughed at nearly all my jokes, even the shittier ones.
During the conversation, I had mentioned my plan on going into the police academy this fall or next spring, and talked a bit about studying traffic codes in my free time. Again, she was smiling a lot, but she also started blushing a little. A few minutes later, we both had to go to class, and she said that she enjoyed talking to me.
A few days later, I messaged her to suggest meeting up again. Again, she mentioned not wanting a relationship, even though I didn't say anything about one.
TL;DR - Girl in my class wants to start talking with me, immediately plays "not wanting a relationship" card, displays several possible IOIs, then brings up not wanting a relationship, for a second time. Not sure if shit test or attempt to make me an orbiter.
