She's probably waiting for you to make a move. She certainly seems interested in you and so scared to make a move that she's using her boyfriend as a safety net in case you don't return her feelings.
I think you may be on to something. I made a somewhat vague, half assed move on her via text, and she changed the subject. o.O Me being me, I assumed the worst, thinking that now she knows I like her and she's trying to send the message to me that she doesn't like me in that way. She was nice to me in person after that, but didn't give any obvious signs...which, me being me, I took as confirmation that she was put off by me. So I avoided her the entire day, didn't make much eye contact with her, and gave her brief replies when she did speak to me. Very smart.
Like I said, everyone that is a mutual friend of ours thinks something might exist there and they encourage me to go for it. But the years of being in the wrong body have made me really insecure romantically, so any time she is neutral towards me I take it as a bad sign. I also feel...I don't know, I worry she will get the wrong idea. I genuinely like her, she's a smart girl and she commands a lot of my respect, and I'd love to get to know her better. But what if she thinks I just want to get in her pants and that me being nice to her was all a ploy for sex?
It was kind of interesting though. Yesterday she was telling someone a story that involved her, and the person goes "oh yeah, Birkin already told me about that." Her voice like immediately got higher pitched and she says "He did?" As if she were surprised...good surprise or bad surprise, I don't know, ha.
