I’ve already gone on two dates with this girl, and she seems to be really into me. Unfortunately, she had to cancel plans with me twice, which isn’t anyone’s fault, but it makes me think she doesn’t like me anymore. But she explicitly texted me saying “I don’t want you to think I’m not into you, because I totally am”. I know that Ocean’s Razor states that the simplest and most straightforward answer is probably the correct one; in this instance, it’s that she genuinely does like me, but sometimes life just gets in the way of plans. 

But my asshole brain is doing it’s damn best to convince me that she’s lying , and she’s just saying these nice things to avoid hurting my feelings. It’s so frustrating because I *want* to believe that she actually really likes me, but my near-complete lack of self-esteem is keeping me from accepting this. I wish my depression would just shut up for once.
