from.

I was thinking back to my high school days and a particular situation, to this day im still not 100% sure if she was interested or not. So i thought i'd ask for some of your opinions.

There was this one girl i went to high school with and we worked together at Safeway, one of the most beautiful in our class. She is a pretty smart, attractive girl. She got 110 percent on your calculus 12 exam and i found this out shortly before having to write my math 12 exam, so i phoned her up and asked her if she would help me study for my final. She agreed to, we met at the public library, found a desk and sat down. The whole time we were studying she would keep saying "I don't remember much of math 12". I kept thinking how could she get a 110% on a calculus 12 final but not remember anything from math 12. I wasn't saying much i was busy studying.

Which leaves me confused to what that actually meant. Was that statement some subtle form of flirting that i wasn't picking up on? Was she uncomfortable and wanted to leave but didn't want to hurt my feelings? Or was there some other possible meaning? Or am i reading to much into the whole situation. What she said is what she meant?

I can still remember what she wrote in my yearbook, which may have been more flirting. Im trying to learn and understand past situations for future reference.

Now that you are no longer working at Safeway. I can do my job without so much lippy attitude. Just joking. You were a lifesavor! Love .....

I don't see anything to indicate that she intended to flirt. To me it sounds like she was either trying to leave or simply didn't remember much about the other course, as she said. Was there something about the way she said it?

I think it would be hard for us to tell based on just those information. We don't know anything about her body language either.

She could be telling the truth as I can do very well in my math classes but forget a lot of things a few months later. She could be telling you that she forgot a lot to not look dumb if she can't answer something. Maybe she decided after a few minutes with you that she doesn't like you and doesn't want to help you anymore.

Not that i can remember but before we left i asked her out to super and she said she had plans. Then as we were leaving the library i stopped at the checkout counter to let them know i wouldn't need to use the internet anymore, the girl stopped behind me, i looked back at her and she spun 180 degrees, start walking towards the back of the library, spun another 180 degrees then exited the library and waited just outside the library for me.

A couple weeks later my dad and i were going though the checkout at Safeway and i started talking to her, she was our cashier. As my dad and i left and were far enough way so she couldn't hear my dad, my dad said that she was checking me out. I just said nothing as it was something i completely missed.
I tried asking my dad,a couple of months ago, how he knew she was checking me out, but he just told me to stop living in the past, its a missed opprunitiy, forget about it and move on.

A year later when i seen her at a BBQ, she was about 30 meters away and turned to her friend and said "hey its ......" (left my name blank) and she came and talked to me. Maybe she is just friendly.

What forms of body language should i be aware of? She was just sitting there, your body was facing slightly towards mine due to the way she had the chair positioned and she looked at me when saying it. What other forms of body language should i be aware of?

I was just saying we had too little information to tell but generally a woman's body language can convey whether she is interested in you or not better than words. If she looked like she was really focusing on you, then it probably means she's interested in you.
