I just got out of a 3 year relationship a couple months ago, so needless to say I've been out of the game a little while and am having a little bit of a difficult time adjusting to having to read women again (I was never that great at it to begin with).
Anyways... Here's the scenario. Last week I met this super super cute girl who is mutual friends with a lot of my friends. We were all eating dinner and I ended up sitting next to her. Apparently her boyfriend dumped her two days earlier. She was a little stressed over it, but didn't seem totally heartbroken or anything. Anyways, throughout the dinner I find out that we have a LOT in common and I'm crushing on her harder than I've crushed on a girl since middle school. At several points in the dinner she seemed to try and revert back to conversation with me. Ie. Someone across the table asks her something, she responds to him for a minute then turns to me and goes "so yeah, back to what we were talking about." Sometimes it even seemed like our conversation was dead and she was trying to prolong it. I end up getting her number (for other reasons I shouldn't discuss here) but she seemed pretty excited to give it to me. She decides she wants to start coming to yoga with us. So I text her asking her if she's still coming and if she knows where to go. Well, her texts come back surprisingly dry. Not rude or anything, just really dry and unenthusiastic. But, she did come out and seemed happy to talk. Two days later she drops her plans with her friends for that weekend, texts me asking if I'm going to yoga again. Once again, fairly dry texting. But we get there a few minutes early. She's talking about how she transferred colleges. My friend says "did you go to any of their football games". She goes "no not really. that's not really my thing." Then turned around 180 and finished answering his question to me with her back towards him. Mind you I had nothing to do with the sports convo... But for some reason she decided it would be best to tell it to me than my bud who asked.
So I don't know. Between the dry texts, her recent breakup, and then the positive personal interactions I'm having a really hard time reading her. I mean, it seems like she enjoys me, I guess I just get stressed not knowing. I've got social anxiety to start with, she's a couple years older than me, and I never really view myself as someone who would end up with such a pretty girl.
But I don't know. What does it sound like? What should I do? I'm going to be pretty busy this week with school, so I'm thinking maybe when I see her at yoga, have a quick convo, end it on a high note by saying I have to get some work done, then suggesting we should hang out outside of yoga sometime... Does that sound right?
I know these are probably stupid obvious questions. But like I said, social anxiety. It sucks. I just need to confirm my ideas a billion times with other people before I get the strength to make a move. Like I said, I've been out of the game a while. I really like her though and don't want my dumb self to screw it up.
