Gustar??

[hola]

no fue una chica que gusté

is this how you say she wasn't a girl that liked me?

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

She wasn't a girl that liked me: No era una chica a la que (yo) le hubiera gustado.

Yo no le gustaba a esa chica.
That girl didn't like me.

Yo nunca le gusté a esa chica.
That girl never liked me.

[hola]

doesn't/wouldn't no era una chica a la que yo le hubiera gustado mean she wasn't a girl that WOULD HAVE liked me??? if it does then i can easily understand y gustado is used. otherwise i can't. and y the subjunctive??????

[Jubilee]

You can think of it something like "I wasn't someone that was pleasing to that girl" You are the subject because that is the way gustar works, inside out to English

[hola]

right but doesn't hubiera gustado mean WOULD HAVE liked???? and y the subjunctive???? my intentions were just to say she wasn't a girl that liked me. no fue una chica q yo le gusté

[Perikles]

The subjuctive is used with verbs and expressions denoting an emotional reponse or value judgement:

Me alegro de que hayas tenido éxito
I'm glad you were successful

In the above example, there is nothing uncertain about the success - it has happened. But the 'alegro' requires a subjunctive.

Presumably, 'gustar' also expresses an emotional response.

oops sorry my reply inappropriate, you are just asking about the subjunctive. I'll be interested in the answer to that also!
