Ok, so this is gonna be a long and detailed post but please bear with me because this girl has my head in a blender and I need advice.
So a few weeks ago I was hanging out with a group of my friends, the key people being Mike, Sam and Sam's sister Kate (who I would consider a friend of me and Mike that we hang out with a lot but never without Sam ). His sister brought over a couple of friends one of whom is named Jane. We all pregamed for about an hour where I briefly interacted with this girl. The group of girls and us guys went separate ways at that point. Fast forward a couple of hours and we meet up with them at the bar.
When we get there, I sit across from Jane at a 4 person table where she is sitting on a bench that extends beyond the table. She tells me to "pull my chair next to her" this would have me sitting on the end of the table. I tried to but couldn't because there was another table there in the way and the gap wasn't large enough. I tell her this but she is a little drunk and keeps trying. Eventually, she gives up and then moves from her seat and starts standing. She randomly says to me "I think you're really cool, you deserve more credit." This really threw me off because we had barely met so I just said something like "you don't even know me". This makes me wonder if Kate was telling her stuff about me while we were not together for the past couple hours. Anyways, we don't really talk much after that and get separated for the rest of the night pretty quickly.
Fast forward to the next day. Kate is over and randomly asks me "What do you think of Jane?". To which I reply "she seems cool, I didn't really get to talk to her much." Kate then says something about how Jane was really drunk and lost her credit card and stuff.
Fast forward one week. Jane and Kate are meeting my friends out again at the bar. I decided to do something with another group of friends first and had to join them about 4 hours later. I was a little disappointed by this because I wanted to shoot my shot with her and was a little worried about Mike trying to game her and stuff when I wasn't there. So I link up at the bar with all of them. At some point pretty quickly, I hear from Sam (Kate's brother and my best friend) that apparently Jane told Kate that she wants to hook up with Mike. At some point during this night Kate even tells Mike. Mike ends up somehow hooking up with a different girl instead of Jane even though I know he really wanted to hook up with her.
At this point Mike is gone from the bar and I am pretty drunk. Worried about losing my chance with Jane, I approach her and kind of hit on her tell her I am attracted to her and that we should hang out. She didn't outright reject me but seemed to ignore me and said something like "you don't want to be with me". I was very drunk and its hard to recall but I came away from the situation not feeling great. She seemed kind of aloof 1 foot in 1 foot out, maybe just trying to get a drink out of me. I imagine she was pretty drunk to and Im not sure what she recalled from the situation.
Fast forward another week, I go out to the bar with a similar group again except this time Mike isn't there. At one Jane she says to the group how she "wants a boyfriend". She also talks a lot about her hookups and stuff to which i just ignore and talk to my buddy. Over the course of the night I flirt with her a little bit and she seems to flirt with me some also although its never really one on one between us and at times she seems aloof to me.
Next day, I am out to dinner again with the same group as the night before. This is a couple, Sam, Kate, Jane, and I. Jane is sitting across from me. At the end of the dinner the waiter splits the meal evenly into 3 checks. Jane jokes that she thinks "the waiter thinks me and you are together". To which she says "cheers boyfriend" and raises her glass. A few minutes later when talking about some recent career decisions I made which could be taken negatively, she says "damn I was hoping to marry rich".
We leave dinner to go meet up with Mike at the bar. When we get there she seems eager to see him. I immediately decide to be aloof and not show her attention at the bar and she seems to do the same all night as I never speak to her even though there were times when we were near each other. I don't see much interaction between her and Mike and nothing really happens between them. Kate still tells Mike that Jane would hook up with him.
So I have a lot of questions. Is Jane interested in me or is she just messing with me? Should I ask her out or keep flirting and playing it cool? (not really sure because of when I drunkenly told her we should hang out). We are going to dinner again this weekend with the group and Mike keeps saying how he is going to try to hook up with her and its pissing me off. He doesn't know that I think I have a shot with Jane. I don't want to lose out to him, but he has supreme confidence because according to Kate, Jane really wants to hook up with him.
Is there any chance Kate could be full of shit and playing some sort of manipulative game here? If it wasn't for Kate's comments I would have a lot more confidence with Jane. I should add kate has never said anything to me about janes interest in mike.
I would really appreciate and thoughts or advice. Thanks.
