Maybe, maybe not.
True story:
Many years ago, I was driving in a residential neighborhood after dark. There was a house on a corner which had a high wooden fence shielding their side yard(garden, to the Brits). I had passed this fence many times, day and night. This night I happened to look at the fence and saw a nude woman standing in a full length window, just the other side of the fence.
It's no great mystery. I was traveling at the optimum speed and the cracks between the fence boards allowed my brain to see a ribbon piece and reassemble them into a full picture.
Now, I have the experience of seeing a naked woman in her dining room, while at the same time, I know, I saw no such thing. Perception is reality, but perception can be distorted, or mistaken. There is no true all sensual experience. Everything perceived by the senses is processed by the brain and is subject to a thousand errors before it becomes a conscious thought.
I think the question you should ask yourself is whether she saw you.
Have you tried to see her again?
