Last year at university, I met a very quiet and introverted girl. She doesn’t open up to people easily, but with me she did. She would bring me chocolates, share her food, and even say things like, “I’ll go wherever you go.” Over time, I started liking her. One moment I can’t forget is when we were saying goodbye at the bus stop and she grabbed my arm while laughing. For her birthday, I gave her some of her favorite sweets and wrote her a letter telling her how much I appreciated her, but I never confessed my feelings. Then she suddenly stopped talking to me. The only time she reached out was during exams to ask if we could study together. This year, we started talking again. I even met her parents, and her father told me she speaks very highly of me. She gave me a small Easter chocolate, told me when she got a job, asks about my family, and recently, during vacation, she texted me saying, “So, when are we going to do something?” We ended up going on a date, and I invited her out again afterward. The thing is, I don’t know what to think. She once told me that her family is basically her whole social circle, so sometimes I wonder if I’m special to her or if I’m simply one of the few people she feels comfortable with. I really like her, but I can’t tell if there’s a real connection or if I’m reading too much into small moments. Has anyone been in a similar situation? How do you know if someone genuinely likes you or if they just feel safe around you? submitted by /u/Common-Medicine8371
