what does she mean? how do I read between the lines?
It means you went at it in a lame way, by trying to get her number by acting like you wanted to study with her, instead of being straight up. It also means, she really has a boyfriend.

OP, I would like to hear your explanation of why you thought there was a need to read between the lines.

Stop trying to read lines

Take her for her word, if she really wanted/wants something from you it will happen eventually.

I going to agree with others and say back off.

I'd offer to meet her imaginary boyfriend and see if he has any imaginary friends that I can hook up with.

That is, if I was imaginary single.



I'm not. My imaginary girlfriend, Aura, will be very upset if I betrayed her like that.

We're supposed to be getting married this summer. And then to have to raise imaginary children. I feel tired just thinking about it.

You got all that from the Original Post?

No.


No it doesn't mean that.

How come when we really do give guys some sort of hint about something, they never seem to think of reading between the lines, and we have to hit them over the head before they'll acknowledge something we've been trying to hint at, BUT, when we are super-crystal-clear with them, THEN they decide there must be some hidden message????


Example 1--
Woman: Wow, the kitchen trash really smells. Trash day isn't until tomorrow, but it will be unbearable by then.
Guy: I guess we should spray some of that air freshener. Hey, do we have any beer left?

Example 2--
Woman: No, I am not interested in you. At all. I'd rather join a convent. I'd rather be a lesbian. Please leave me alone. I am ready to call the police.
Guy: I wonder what she really meant by that? I think I might still have a chance if I can just figure out what she's trying to tell me...

Even if, on the 1% chance that this is the case, would the OP really want to get into the middle of it? They all say on their OLD profiles that they're not looking for drama. Maybe I should start reading between the lines?
