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?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I she trying to make me jealous?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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...
