There's this girl that i've been very close friends with for one year as of right now (we are currently hs juniors). I was pretty much one of the only guys she would regularly talk to throughout our sophomore year. We were really close to a point where people including her best friend were often teasing when a relationship will happen. However, things kinda got rocky between us towards late spring 2014 and long story short, i think i've made her really dislike me in the end. She started to act meaner towards me during late spring and eventually throughout the summer. Around the time before school ended, I asked her best friend if she was starting to hate me, which she responded no. She asked me if i was interested in this girl more than just as a friend and i told that I once liked this girl more than as a friend, but wasn't sure anymore. We then got into a conversation and eventually, she told me that my crush wasn't looking to date anyone at the time and couldn't date anyone for certain reasons and encouraged me to not feel friend zoned that i'll find someone worth while but at the same time, she is trying to find someone worthwhile as well. The final thing she told was to not stress and that my crush liked me.

Throughout the summer, the girl that I liked and I never saw each other but texted each other sometimes. Once, she asked me how much I wanted her and eventually, she told me that she can't like me back, which I responded that was okay. She then asked me why i was asking things about her to her best friend and said that i was obviously in love with her and that she would never date me. To which i responded by saying that there was a reason why i didn't ask her out at the time (because during the time, i was unsure if i was going to move/transfer to a different school), but didn't say why. She then responded by saying that she thought that i was crazy over her which i kinda responded in a "so what?" manner and essentially implied 'do you still wanna be friends?' -- which she didn't respond back. The next day, she called me a few times and i eventually called her back and asked why she called and she first acted like she didn't knew that she called me around 3 times in 2 hours. Eventually, I asked why she called me multiple times and she answered "I like you" and started laughing like crazy which i hung up the phone. For the next two weeks, i never called or texted her until i texted happy birthday to her on her birthday. What i didn't expect from her was that she took a picture of herself (whole body) and sent it to me right afterwards, which i didn't know how exactly to respond so i just said that she looked cute.

We didn't talk too much throughout the summer, but started to talk more after school started (as a result which i feel as if i'm getting mixed signals from her ). Around the first day of school, she called me late at night and stressed about upcoming hmwrk and tests and almost sounded like she was starting to cry which i attempted to comfort her and talked with her for at least an hour. She followed me to my lunch table where i sat with my friends and sits across from me. She teases me a lot more (compared to last year) sitting at my lunch table and sometimes even playfully throws food at me and laughs. She recently also sent me a heart in a text msg for the first time. Since we also have a few more classes together this year, she asked me if i wanted to study with her and we happened to arrange a day and time of when we're gonna meet.


I kinda feel that I'm getting mixed signals from this girl. I once really fell for her, but now, i would be happy if we end up being together but be about as happy if we just remain as friends. Does she like me? What do you people think?

thanks!
