Women! I need your wisdom!!!
I am currently very confused with this situation and was hoping there were some women out there who might be able to help me gain some insight into the intracacies of the female mind.
I have known this girl for maybe 5 years, and recently I have started to like her more and more, but I have been unable to try to do much with her since she currently has a boyfriend. Sometimes, she seems to like him a lot, and others, she seems to wish she wasn't with him.. They don't get along very well a lot of the time, however, I'm afraid she will stay with him just because of the sense of security and stability that comes with being in a relationship.
Anyway, the main source of my confusion occurred one night a few weeks ago. We were both at a party (with alcohol) and her boyfriend was away. I was trying to spend as much time as possible with her, not to try and "hook up" or anything, merely to have some fun with her and get her to like me though personality, humor, beer pong prowess, etc.
She seemed to be enjoying my company, until all of a sudden, once everyone was fairly drunk, she changed from being completely happy and having a good time to suddenly seeming depressed and worried. I spent some time with her, trying to find out what was wrong, at which point she rested her head on my shoulder. I managed to find out after some talking that the source of her dismay was that she was worried about what her boyfriend would think about her after she went to a party and got drunk while he was away. I tried my best to comfort her, though I was feeling pretty awkward about it. A while later, most people were going home, and we ended up in the same car. I'm not sure who initiated it, but fairly early into the ride we were suddenly holding hands, and both kept it that way until it was time for her to get out.
So, my question is: does this mean she has any feelings for me? Or am I merely a sturdy rock for her to lean on and trust when she's feeling down? Or did it have nothing to do with me, and she would have acted that way if anyone had been in my place? I realize the female mind is one of the most complicated paradoxes of modern and ancient science, but I'm hoping there are a few wise women out their who can try and clarify this for me. Thanks in advance.
