Underlying question: What does it mean when a girl talks to you about relationships?
This girl and I have known each other for a while but we've only been really talking (a lot) for the past 2 weeks or so, so we're not amazing friends. I've started to like her and I try to drop hints, flirt, kino, whatever, but we've only been cool for a short period of time and she is a very shy girl, so it's been limited to not freak her out. She's done stuff like grab my arm and put her head on it when we were taking a picture. She hugged me after I got her number from her. She's texted me with a lot of smilies and laughs at everything I say (we've texted quite a lot since I got her #). We've even talked on the phone for 2 hours one night, which I know is weird for her because she's told me she takes a while to get comfortable around people. And we hung out after school for a while one day. And yes, we talk a lot whenever I see her in person. She compliments me and says I'm cool, funny, whatever. Those all seem like signs she's into me, right? She definitely showed the signs of liking me first.
But anyway, lately she's been talking about relationships and being lonely and not having a boyfriend and stuff. It's definitely been a topic of conversation between us. I wouldn't say it's venting but it's definitely been open discussion from her about her feelings. What exactly does this mean? It's just weird, I wouldn't expect a girl who has trouble being comfortable and opening up to people to say this stuff to someone she just became cool with. Is she dropping hints or not?
Because this is where I get confused: consider ^that, and the fact she told me the day after we hung out that she doesn't want to lead me on and she wants things to be normal between us... and am I in the effing friend zone? When I put it all together, I think it seems like she likes me, UNTIL I get to this part...
It just sucks because I think we'd be really good together, especially if she's saying these type of things about boyfriends. Could use some help here, I can't get this figured out in my head. I'm seriously confused. Can I get some type of gameplan, especially if I'm getting dangerously close to the friend zone?
