There is a girl I've known for a while and we became close friends. When I left to go somewhere she bear hugged me. After I got to know her a better for a few months, she started calling me babe. I told her I liked her but she said she was with someone else, but when I texted her if she would've gone out with me if she wasn't with her, she didn't reply. I thought she was mad at me but she texted back and said babe im not mad at you i was cooking im not sure maybe if things dont work out with my girlfriend. She called me babe on two other occasions too. How do I know if she likes me or is just being affectionate?
