Learning Japanese on my own so i will be using this site as i means to
practice and have some questions answered! If you provide the answer in Kanji,
if you coul dplease put also the furigana (no romanji) i would appreciate it !
Thank you!

My question is, i want to make the sentence:

"I thought you didn't want to see me"

I want to use the word あう（to meet) and 思う

Would i conjugate あう as あいたくない and then add おもっている ？

how do i link those two verbs? I was thinking first use the の particle to make
あう a noun, but that wouldn{t make sense.

Don{t think i could use the て form since i want to say i want.

Can someone please help me with the translation and how you got to do it? Both
polite and informal ways please :)

Thank you in advance!

Question regarding conjugation of two verbs with a (-たい）ending
You are very close. Firstly, you are correct that you treat the ～たい form like
an i-adjective. So "You didn't want to meet" would be 会いたくなかった. Then, the
construction for "I thought X" is 「X」と思った。 So, putting those together, "I
thought you didn't want to meet me" becomes 会いたくなかったと思った, although I honestly
can't say how common such a sentence would be in Japanese.

Alternatively, you might say something like 会【あ】いたくない気【き】がした, which is like "I
had a feeling / I got the impression you didn't want to see me".

answer
You need to use のだ form when you express what you have judged from situations.
i.e. 会いたくないのだと思った.

(会いたくなかったのだと思った basically means "I thought you had not wanted to see me", but
you can use it for "I thought you didn't want to see me" too.)
