Does she like me back or does she think we're just friends???
Ok so im sure there are hundreds of posts on here about this kind of thing but I couldn't find one with my situation so I just need some advice about this because I'm nervous. I (16 F) have a pretty close friend (16 F) who I met two years ago and we have gotten much closer this past year. Recently I started having feelings for her and I kind of get a vibe from her but I genuinely can't tell if im just being delusional. Some examples of things that have happened:
- we call each other pretty all the time and say gay asf things to each other (but in like a joking kind of friend way like a lot of girls do to each other)
- I don't really know how to flirt without doing it in the super obvious way that just sounds like I'm joking but sometimes I'll say something and she just gives me a look like she's suspicious or something idrk???
- we were at the beach with some other friends and as a joking spur of the moment thing we had a fake wedding (it was 100% a joke but she was the one who "proposed") and we didn't actually kiss but we both gave each other a look like the one I talked about before
- also at the beach she kept trying to hold my hand while we were jumping over waves (the only reason I didn't do it was because I didn't want us both to drown if one of us got swept under)
- she gave me a really thoughtful and amazing gift for my birthday which is something that any amazing friend would do but idk it felt like more???
- she lays on me while we are watching movies which i know sounds romantic but i feel like thats something that friends do???
I know that she likes girls so thats not what I'm worried about I just genuinely have no idea if she likes me back or if this is just how she is with her friends so I would appreciate some advice if anyone is willing to provide 😭
