If she keeps conversations short since I seemed to bother her with too much talking

@QueenOfTheNerds telling her that our conversations are too short for my taste?

@scooogy If you feel as though you’re being manipulated, you should say something.
Without knowing more than what you posted, it sounds like you both have different expectations. If that’s the case, the truth would be easier now than after you’ve invested more of yourself into it.

@QueenOfTheNerds she seemed like even though she got to know her now ex for about 5 months before finally dating him (which lasted for barely a month), at the same time she sorta tried to get me to ask her out as well. At least we got to know quite some, even if it was over 3 years of time. And these few months while she got to know him without me knowing of anything, she grew more attentive towards me and nicer than ever.

@scooogy I’d still say something. It’s not middle school, so no reason to make it a game.

@QueenOfTheNerds I fear her ignoring me from then on. 😕 she once raged at me for bothering her with unnecessary questions after I complained to her about having played me because she dated someone else while appearing interested in me.

She was way nicer again after a few months of distancing, but still kept her line of short conversations instead of somehow just spending time together (which she sure does now and then with female friends of hers, even if it's at her workplace).
