As an empath it’s difficult not to fall into a very specific trap. That trap is assuming we’re actually able to “mind read”. Empathically, were so in tune with other people that it’s easy to forget that we are making calculated guesses based on information going into our brain that we sift through with biases based on previous life experience. We can heavily rely on our empathic abilities, but those guesses or assumptions are NOT always correct.
It seems like you may have fallen into this trap. You are making a huge amount of assumptions about this woman without having a real conversation with her. Assumptions that are unfair to her (and to you in the end), because they are keeping you both from connecting. I would suggest letting go of your “mind reading” assumptions and ask yourself what other possibilities there could be.
Ie: she likes your personality just fine, and hasn’t really noticed any awkwardness between you guys because she is busy with life etc.
Remember that life is a fun road trip, and not everyone is riding in the same type of car. Not everyone will think like you do. Even two empaths will have different thought patterns and life experiences [emoji1303][emoji8]
