We are reosnably good friends but only in class because she hangs around with people i don't like too much. But in class we always get told off for talking too much to each other. I liked her for ages but never had the guts to ask her out. About three months ago i did ask her out and iwas sure she would say yes. But then she told me she likes me as a friend, but earlier this year she was abused by her ex and she isn't ready for a boyfriend yet. Then she said she hopes we can still talk, and walked off. We had a bit of trouble talking for about two weeks, but now we can talk together again. She keeps on giving me strange looks. At first i thought that she was just flattered that i asked her out, but three months later she keeps on looking at me as if she likes me.
Is it possible for a girl to reject a guy, even if she likes him, because she had a bad experience with another?
