So I'm in high school, and I have asked my peers, and can't get any good advice. I feel kinda of lame being on here but I really want to figure this out!
So I like this girl, a lot, but she is already in a relationship! She has been with her boyfriend for a year too. This may sound ridiculous, but I can't stop thinking about her. She is not the kind of girl to "get around" but I think she may be flirting with me and may even like me. But I'm just trying to figure out if it is worth my time to keep trying or if I should just give up before I tell her my feelings and get hurt.
I don't know if it is just her personality, but we flirt a lot. When we see each other, she always smiles an kind of blushes. Also, she writes me notes and brings gifts to school for me and I do the same thing for her(usually cookies of some sort). But whenever she writes notes she either calls me by the affectionate nickname she gave me, or she calls me her best friend! I hate it when she does that because I want to be so much more, but I just go along with it. However, whenever she gives me hugs, she completely embraces me and holds on for a long time, she buries her head in my chest, and tells me I make her so happy. And then, recently, I was hanging out with her at a bonfire, and we just sat next to the fire and held hands for a long time! Then we eventually went inside and watched a movie. We sat down on the couch together and she cuddled up next to me and held my hand again. I feel like that is more than a friend thing, unless this girl is just super weird best friends with me. I don't think she is that crazy
So this is where I am now! She does things that hint at me being in the friend zone, but also that she might like me! I want to keep pursuing her because I have never felt about a girl this way before, and I'm not typically the romantic type. So what do you guys think? Do I have a chance? Or should i quit before I get hurt?
