I've developed a great connection with a friend during the past weeks and we have become very close. Some of her actions suggest that she's interested in me, and yet she's so guarded.
She runs herself down all the time and I ended up telling her I liked her. First she accused me of saying it to be kind, then when I told her I was genuine, she told me she's not worth getting to know and she screws up everything. I took that as a knock back and dropped the subject.
However, she later started fishing for a compliment again, running herself down and I told her "clearly my opinion doesn't count for anything so I'm not going to say anything". She told me that she doesn't buy it because she knows I have women all over me (she hears them talk about me a lot apparently) and she thinks I'm a player..."just very good at it" - though I don't know what she means by that.
I use C+F, we neg hit each other, I have a load of social proof, I'm coolheaded, we have amazing rapport, there's plenty of kino, but I really don't know whether to take her as disinterested or defensive. And if she is just defensive, then how the hell do I proceed with a woman like this?
