Position of "really" and its meaning.
I sometimes feel like the position of "really" can change the meaning.

She doesn't really think of me that way. Meaning she still thinks of me that way. But not really.
She really doesn't think of me that way Meaning to ascertain that she doesn't think of me that way for real.

Do I understand correctly?

Thanks

Answer

ha ha.. it's a tricky example.
I think you understand the first sentence incorrectly.
'She doesn't really think of me that way'  seems to mean; 
"She thinks of me as her prince....   nah, only joking; she doesn't really think of me that way"
(really = it's true)    
It could mean what you think, but I wouldn't think so if I hear it.

In the second sentence, 'really' is used for emphasis (not only that it's true), like 'I really don't like her' = I almost hate her.
So, you are emphasising the point;
eg, if you hate a guy:    "hey, you like him, right?"   'NOoo, I really don't!'
