Is my neighbor interested or just being polite? Need an objective read on these signs.
Hey everyone, I’m looking for an honest, outside perspective on whether a girl in my apartment complex is actually feeling me or if she’s just an incredibly friendly neighbor.
Here is the play-by-play of how she acts around me:
She goes out of her way to greet me: Since the very first time we met, she actively goes out of her way to start a conversation and chat with me whenever she sees me.
The gate interaction: When she drives through the apartment security gate, if I’m out there, she immediately waves and says hi to me from her car. She’s scanning for me before she even parks.
Eye contact: Whenever we cross paths, she always makes an active effort to catch my eye contact and wave the second our eyes lock.
She dropped hooks about her life: In our last conversation, she told me all about how she does arts and crafts and likes to create things. I told her that I made music and I have a studio in my apartment and she said she would love to know how to make music. Was that a green light ?
My plan for next week when I see her is to casually ask if she finished any art over the holiday break, and then ask if she has an IG page where she posts her work. It feels like a natural, low-pressure way to see if she wants to connect outside of just passing each other in the complex.
But I’m trying to check myself. I have a habit of over-investing or trying to "pour into" people too fast, so I’m keeping my expectations grounded. If she gives a weird or distant vibe when I ask about the IG, I’m dropping it immediately and moving on.
Based on these specific actions, does it sound like she’s leaving the door open for me to make a move, or is this just standard "good neighbor" energy? How would you interpret the car waving and eye contact?
Appreciate any feedback!
