So there's this girl, my best friend, an English girl, who is, of course, very close to me. She was the first one to actually see me for who I was and helped me develop my social skills from an awkward social reject into a quite a popular person. And I fell in love with her, but not for that reason. To cut to the chase, she and I grew so close even after I awkwardly asked her out two years ago. She's completely comfortable around me and shows so many of indicators of interest, like endless conversations and incessant tease-flirting (punching/hitting playfully, etc just all the time) and gets jealous of me when I'm not giving attention to her and, although we've fought multiple times, she's stayed with mebthrough the worst "****ing bitch" moments and such. She told me the other day that "when [I'm] happy, [she's] happy, when [I'm] sad, [she's] sad," moody and moody, so on. We've shared a lot of intimate conversations and she's tried to make me jealous with guys for my reaction alone. Yet she thinks she doesn't like me (oh and I forgot to say she's never been in a relationship before, the tomboy and prude things were already said) and seems to show a different thing. She has a huge personal bubble and I don't know how to burst the goddamn thing.
Now, granted, I'm not the best at describing something you'd have to be there to see to fully understand, since not all of this shows all or the facets of attraction. I ask for any advice on how to handle a non-sexual (if prude is too rude a word) and how to move on from here, without moving on to another girl. I'm not that giddy to get a girlfriend.
