Jose Asked:
“The girl that I have my eyes on is sending mixed signals, or at least I think she is. Some days, she talks to me only and doesn’t talk with her other friends that she’s known for years now. Some days, she doesn’t talk to me at all. She also has this very unique way of getting my attention when I’m preoccupied with something. She would push me on the back of my head, and walk away like she didn’t do it. She also likes to poke me as well. When I gave her a gift for her birthday that included a personal note from me, she approached me from behind and gave me a cuddly hug. Also, on a windy day, she would come up next to me and say that it was cold loudly. I offered her my sweater, but she didn’t want me to freeze; so I gave her a bear hug instead. She turned down one of my friend’s hugs, even though he was bigger and warmer than me. She seemed like she enjoyed my hug in the cold wind, because she set her head on my arm and didn’t do anything. Her face doesn’t “light up” when I say hi to her, although she does wave and say hi every time she sees me. Not to mention, she also gave me brownies that she cooked for my birthday. weird thing is, she hasn’t done anything that big for her other friends’ birthdays. o.O
One more note, I think she also giggles when I say something funny, even though other people don’t think it’s funny. what I say is funny (at least to me lol), because I make myself laugh in the process…is she the only one that can understand my “hidden” humor, or is she just giggling to make me feel better? When I look at her face as she laughs to something I said, there’s no sign of sarcasm or fake laughter as well…
Recently, she asked me who I liked. After pressing me for some time, I told her that I liked her, and she said, “Really?”, then progressed to tell me who she liked at that moment. It wasn’t me, it was another dude that she sits next to in most of her classes. When Summer Break hit, she told me that the guy that she liked was a jackass, and we had a conversation about it later that day.
She told me that she almost liked me, but didn’t tell me why she didn’t fully like me. Weird thing is, she hasn’t stopped talking to me and doesn’t seem to be bothered by our secrets being revealed.
Thing is, I also get a lot of hints that she isn’t interested in me too. The biggest downer, is that she sent me an email on how she wanted to stay single, and that she wasn’t interested in anybody. She sent that email about 2 years ago.
My question here is, after declaring that her crush was a jackass, does she like me now?”

Dear Jose,
Why does being interested in you exclude interest in anyone else? It doesn’t have to. No matter, what she said (or wrote) two (!) years ago has little to no bearing on what’s happening now – at your age two years is an eternity.
Yes, she’s interested in you. She’s doing everything she can without saying, “Hi, Jose, I really dig you and would like to see if we have chemistry and/or relationship potential.” It’s time for you to go for it.
Sincerely,
Suzanne White Montiel
