I've dated this girl for about a month, and I've recently told her that I didn't feel it would be right for me to be in a relationship so soon after my separation from my wife. I told her that I couldn't be there emotionally, but I would appreciate if she stuck around and hung out with me. I also told her that I would understand if she didn't want to. So, a couple days later she told me that she and some guy (Kevin I think she said) are planning to have a bunch of people go out. She invited me to come if I'd like. Is she trying to make me jealous here?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I she trying to make me jealous?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
No she's not, but... Here's what I'd do - I'd go. While there you can pretty much sense what she's trying to do by identifying where her attention is - you or the guy.
If she IS actually trying to make you jealous, just suck it up and show how confident you are in yourself by not letting it affect you and seem very happy to be there. Then start making friends with whoever's there and never let her see you sweat. You see, when they play games or test you like that, always act as if you never noticed it.

I think she's trying to keep you around and is moving you into somewhere you'd be more open to being with her, a "safe haven". IOW, "You don't want to date me, but I still would like to see you, so maybe as part of a group date?" After all, you invited her to hang out with you, right?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

This is it.mzilla2 said:She is trying to establish herself as high(er) value by demonstrating that she's got other dudes that wanna take her out...
And, she is hoping to trigger a pursuit of her BY YOU as a result. She is trying to draw you into her or tempt you to date her or take her more seriously by raising her market value by telling you about her other "option".
It is a young woman's SOP , a Very old girly game -
Play if you want to- stay out if she is not so great...
