i am a guy. i am 20 years old. all of my true 'good' friends in the past have been guys. whenever i see an attractive girl, i feel a little uneasy (but this is normal). however, when i am find myself in a situation where a girl is around and we're doing something (maybe a school project or a class together where we're partners), i always start to feel like i have a 'connection' with her, and start imagining me asking her on a date or us going out or something. sometimes i make myself insane by constantly thinking of her. this has happened so many times in the past, and these 'insanity' bouts usually last a few weeks.
now to my present situation. school is over and there is a girl i had a class with where we interacted a lot. she lives near by. i am attracted to her. i don't know if she has a boyfriend - as of 1 month ago she did, but i think it is over. if i ask her to do things and hang out, and she occasionally asks me to do things, how do i know if she is wanting to be 'friends' or wanting something more? i have asked her to do things (lunch) and she agreed to go. she has invited me to do things (dinner) and we went.
as my first paragraph explains, i am wanting something more (boy/girlfriend), as i am not used to having girls as just 'friends'. a lot of guys have friends who are girls and visa versa, but i have never experienced this so i am very confused
i have had 1 girlfriend in the past, and this lasted over a year, and we were set up - so now i have to do the work on my own.
i hope my questions are clear. first, is what i describe in the 1st paragraph normal or am i crazy? :woo: second is the question in the 2nd paragraph. thank you for any advice
