Hi Lewis,

It is quite obvious to me, why she acted distant after. I don’t want to put anything into your head, but you say she is doubting her sexuality, & is maybe being inauthentic in that she may have some feelings for you? But isn’t communicating them? She is confused admittedly, so I don’t want you getting over excited that she might like you, but I believe it to be a possibility. I also think her sharing this information with you is another reason for me to think she may like you?

I very often used to be unable to have honest & meaningful conversations until I met my current partner, due to fear of being rejected, not heard etc. But at the end of the day it all boils down to the fact that you just need to be authentic & honest & openly ask her what that touch was about & whether she romantically has any feelings for you. The only thing I will say about this though, is this girl seems very confused, from what you’ve said, so you need to go in with enough resilience as rejection could happen again. She may say she likes you, & she may dip in & out with you due to her confusion. This will put you in a awkward place of never knowing where you stand, so be cautious, not overly, but just continue to communicate. If you feel she is in & out, interested one minute, not interested the next, then communicate this to her. Don’t go through feeling good, then bad etc because she is unsure of her sexuality.
Communication is key, & although sometimes very uncomfortable, the outcome after communicating puts you in a much better position emotionally than not saying anything at all.

What do you think?
