Translation: You thought you had an opportunity to be with her at Folk Fest to get something going, but got blindsided by some guy that was all "touchy feely" with her. If she didn"t push him away, or ditch him in favor of you, the game is up, move on. Her "rebound"? That"s amazing, especially since you was asking you if you knew anyone with tickets. She"s a bitch, and attention whore, who wants to be accepted by men now that her squeeze dumped her after a few years.
Prior to that day I hadn"t even considered her an option, actually, and figured we were hanging out as friends no different than the other people I hung out with that day. And I think it was the same for her. However as the day progressed and we got drunk, there was some flirting going on and a lightbulb went on for me, if not her.

She"s looking for attention. Make her pursue you at this point if you just can"t get rid of her from your mind. Otherwise, she"s just stringing you along. Also, next time you guys go out, dont bring mutual friends and shit. Do something alone, force a date. If she doesn"t wanna go, there is your answer.
Again, she HAS been the one setting things up, not me. I was going to Folk Fest and had a couple dozen people to hang out with, she decided last minute to drive up for one of the four days and brought along Rebound Guy. The weekend after that, she texted me and asked if I wanted to meet at a lake between Edmonton and Calgary for the day (I would assume she was with other friends), but I couldn"t as I was working. Then a couple days after that, she asks me what I"m up to the next weekend, which is when I had plans to go stay at a rented house in the mountains with some friends. She decided to tag along. The morning she left, she asked me if I would be interested again in heading to the lake with her, I said no because I had to drive my bike home and didn"t want to in the dark, at which point she offered that I could crash at her place on the Sunday night, and again that didn"t work for me. She also invited me to go camping with her and some other mutual friends this upcoming weekend, which I can"t make due to a stag. And then also asked me if I wanted to go camping a couple weeks from now, which I"m on the fence about.
No, none of them have been for just the two of us, and it"s entirely possible she"s just looking for friends to hang out with. Likely, even. Hence why I was curious what others thought about the situation. But the point stands that I haven"t been pursuing her. And as I mentioned already, it"s tough to set up anything resembling a date since we currently live 3 hours apart.
So as I"ve already said, I"m not going to do anything other than possibly go camping in a few weeks, which is something I haven"t done enough of this summer anyway. If it seems like something"s up, whether or not Rebound Guy is around, great I"ll take it from there. If not, no big deal.
