im a girl and from my pov i think shes def interested she literally asked what he was up to that weekend but he was busy so she said “oh ok” that’s normal? Op should take a hint and ask her out. i dont think she’s pushing for a group hangout INSTEAD so much as trying to make you feel better about being busy by saying like “oh no big deal maybe ill see you at this other thing then.” it’d be really romantic if he asked her to dinner or something
hit her with a “we should hang out” and “lemme buy you dinner” and see what she says. that’s not only hot and pretty romantic, but it’s also not framed as a DATE date. you could even say “i promise i won’t try to propose 🙄” if you wanted to be funny. she’s DEF interested in you there’s no doubt about that. she might just be a little hesitant to jump into a relationship. i’ve def been in her position before and after a few dates she’ll be much more likely to reconsider when she knows you better.
stop taking advice from these guys!!! SHE LIKES YOUUUUU!!!! and also it’s really hard for girls to work up the nerve to dm first she probably had to hype herself up to even send that and is just a little embarrassed that you said you’re busy. i don’t think she’s really trying to play games. she might just not be sure how to go about liking you so id say just invite her to a cute, no pressure hang out (not your bed, not a 5 star restaurant)
okay this is your chance then. you gotta chat her up on friday. if you’re bold you can even say in person “now how come you won’t let me buy you dinner?” and see how she responds. persistence is hot. if i didn’t think she were interested i wouldn’t encourage you like this and i’d tell you to back off, but she definitely is. she’s just a little scared. that’s chill. if she responds unfavorably just throw your hands up and smile and say “alright! message received” and be chill. you got this bro
