Is she playing hard to get?

Yesterday, around about this time of night, I asked here on fluther is she interested in me?

Yesterday, I was curious if this girl likes me, now today, I’m even more confused.

Anyway, Following on from yesterdays question…

Today at 5pm I met with her for the second time, she was all dressed up, perfumed, and in sandal style high heels, and got to me via pedal bike dressed like that.

We went to the hotel where I work for a while, then once dark, left for the other side of town to have a coffee and some weed by the beach.

We had a good time, and a good chat, she dropped a couple more hints that she was single, and I was thinking up what I was going to say.

By now it’s 11pm or more, we are both quite stoned, when she told me a story, and concluded by saying: “you can never know what some people you have known for years will do”. I took this as my sign, and jumped in: “Well, talking of things you don’t expect from people you have known for years… Since yesterday when you asked me if I had a girlfriend I have been thinking about you, we get on well together, we like each others company, why don’t I take you out on a date some time”

Long story short, I got shot down and told no, and told that I was seen as a friend. However, it was a good night, I had a good time with her, and even though I was told no, we are still going to meet the day after tomorrow on her day off to go out some place, maybe for a pizza or a movie or something.

So… wtf people? ... Take 2? How do I proceed now?

She asks me if I have a girl, when I say no and without asking her she tells me she is single since 6 months ago, she meets me very smartly dressed, 10 times more effort than when I just bumped in to her yesterday, she continues to drop hints that she is single, and finding ways of working the entire theme of relationships and dating in to the conversation, yet she said no.

Next time I see her I will ask if she has reconsidered, and try again. I have the feeling she is either playing hard to get, or simply wants more proof that I’m interested.

If she turns me down a second time, I will not mention it a 3rd time, I don’t want to be a pest about it, I can accept her as a friend and move on with ease at this point, but it would be very easy for me to grow fonder of her if allowed. So yea, she is totally worth a 2nd try, and even perhaps a 3rd or 4th in the distant future, but for now, what happens next?

EDIT: shit, this one is even longer than yesterday’s one
