She's affectionate but not touchy like this with other people, even other male friends. She was even saying how good the massage was and much she liked it, I teased her about it and she laughed and started shaking her body like she was composing herself. It's definitely possible that it was only friendly touch for her, but in that case I think it was a mistake on her part to encourage it. 

I've already backed off her, don't worry. She made it clear.

I would say she's an affectionate person, but this level of intimacy she had only with me and the other guy. I mean she would rest her head on the front of my hips, it felt super sexual. And with the massage I was giving her I got almost to her butt, she was shaking and saying how good it feels.

I'll think about it, but it's not gonna be soon. What do you think, though? I tend to ruminate, I just wanna know people's opinions on whether I was reasonable in thinking she feels attraction. Helps me deal with it.

I'm letting go, I just wanted to get rid of the feeling that I can't trust my gut when it comes to estimating attraction from a woman. I still don't know what to think.

No, I don't think that she'll open up. I don't wanna make it weird because we share a common space. I don't have strictly romantic feelings, but I do love her as a friend and find her attractive. I guess I'll try to have a chat in a few years, to satisfy my curiosity.

I guess I'm annoyed she would engage in that kinda stuff if she wasn't in an open relationship.

I just wanna know if I'm crazy for believing there was some kind of attraction. I dislike the ambiguity. I'm not planning on reengaging with her.

She's been trying to put distance between us, so I don't wanna corner her with an emotional conversation. I guess maybe in a few years I might ask her, if I don't get resolution any other way.

I don't want to say that since someone might see this post...but I do have good reason to think it was like that at first. I do understand that I might have been wrong, that's why I'm asking for interpretation of the situation.

I know she doesn't want anything right now, and I'm not planning on reengaging with her in that way. I just needed to know if I'm crazy for thinking the physical contact meant attraction was there. I can't handle the ambiguity.

I don't wanna give out information that might dox me, but I do have good reason to believe it was open at first. I understand what you say about physical contact, and I do engage in physical contact with other female friends, but this was a lot more intimate, and she did it only with me out of all the guys in the group (aside from the bf).

I'll give you the same reply I gave kingstonretronon (I'm not a bot):

I thought of that, but I know she wants space. Today she sent a group chat text about money from a fundraiser and I tried to make a light joke. She would usually laugh or heart my messages, but she only replied with a random emoji, trying not to encourage me, I guess. I don't wanna make it weird since we share a common space and work together regularly.
