Need help with relationship 2 years ago

[spitfire999]

OK, before going on in my complicated story, I have to say that I'm new to the forum and would very much appreciate your help here. Thank you very much.
My story started 2 years ago. I was in the same class with a girl that I fell for. I expressed my love for her at that time, but she evasively rejected me (not in the direct and straight way, but rather a kind of insinuation that she only treated me a friend). Now, after 2 years, I met her again and I still loved her. I reapproached her and again, told her that my love is unchanging. She was rather surprised and said that she couldn't believe I was so faithful. My relationship with her became much better, and she said she would always be there for me, and that I hold a certain place in her heart. Now the problem is I don't really believe in the truth of it, and think that she did so simply because of being grateful to the love I expressed for her. How can I know if she really changed her mind and decided to choose me? And how can I make her to have more affection for me?
By the way, I know that she has been hanging out with some few guys, but she said they were only her friends, and I have no idea on whether it is true or not.
Please help me to know what she truly thinks about me. Thanks a lot for your help.

"She said she would always be there for me, and that I hold a certain place in her heart" is not her changing her mind. It's her letting you down easy.

You can't make other people have more affection for you. Either they want to be in a relationship with you or they don't. It sounds like she doesn't. Don't be all creepy by trying to win her affection like in the movies. It doesn't work like that.

Doesn't sound complicated to me at all. Sounds to me as if she's now a "friend" instead of a classmate.

You've been friend-zoned, there's no escape.

Friend zoned for sure. There is nothing in her words that says "I am in love with you too".

She is saying "You are a nice guy, I will be your friend".

Tip: never say you are in love with someone unless you are in a serious relationship with them. Just going up to some girl you are not dating, and saying you love them is not appropriate. It's not love btw, you were obsessing. Obsessing=creepy, hence the turn off/rejection. Don't do it again.
