I'm attracted to a woman who is very aloof and detached, not mean, just a little eccentric. I think she might just like women, too, and this is a big issue for her. How can I get from not knowing her, to finding out if there may be some common ground between us?

Introduce yourself?

Yes, I did that and she greets me when she sees me but with zero eye contact. After that it's sayonara, missus! She lives in her own world.

You are so right! I'm very impressed with your ability to detect that it is indeed the setting making for the discomfort. She doesn't know me, and my friends are much too wild to introduce her to right now. I'll keep alert to any interesting activities but it's going to be very intimidating to me. Thank you so much for helping!

zero eye contact can mean different things -she's not interested in you in the least -she's very shy and probably doesn't make eye contact with anybody -she's WAY into you, you make butterflies in her stomach and she's nervous to look you in the eye for fear that she won't be able to stop herself from covering you with kisses.

she doesn't seem too interested in you you should probably get over your crush and move on

Miss Borky!
