Maybe she already knows that and she is using you as an "ego step" (to improve her ego). This will happen every once in a time of a girl's life, believe me, almost EVERY girl. I got ego stepped a few months ago by a girl I wouldn't expect to do that. Anyways, just a theory. She can be friendly, just continue with your normal talking and make sure if she really is seeing someone (don't stalk her, know from another source) and act normal around her and see what happens. Best advice I can give u man.

Feasible but unlikely. If she's instigating and inviting multiple times, this is less and less likely with each encounter. Ego stepping girls will usually do enough to mentally conclude "yeah, I could get him if I wanted to" and then will cease and desist.

She's inviting you places, that could be a very good sign. If she's initiating conversations and is inviting you places I would guess she probably likes you. If her friend told you she was seeing someone else and K hasnt mentioned anything about someone else then assume she's single. Try asking her on a date sometime. The worst that can happen is she says no.
Also, you have a lot of the same issues I used to have. I was able to address a lot of these issues by reading "Models: Attract Women Through Honesty."

You have to demonstrate that you are more invested in yourself than in her. (Read Models) Fight for no fall in the friend zone. Flirt with her and see how she responses. This what I'd do, but is easier say it than make the thing done. Good luck.

Your post had to be removed but I'm still replying to it.....
This will be kind of long, bare with me. I just started this new job a few months ago, there is a girl there that is pretty much everything I like in a girl, let's call her K.
You're in over your head if you have built this girl up so far before you've truly gotten to know her.
Cut to last week where one of my coworkers tell one of her close friends that I like her. I asked Ks friend to please not tell K because I didn't want things to be awkward at work.
OP, you should do whatever you can to avoid this kind of bullshit situation in the future. Don't share your personal information with people who are going to pull shit like this.
Her friend then invited me to her surprise bday party but pulled me aside and told me that this wasn't an invite to hit on K because she was seeing someone.
And definitely avoid all this third party crap. Always deal directly with the girl you're interested in. None of this "He said, She said" garbage.
You should be just getting in there and going with the flow and if that guy she's seeing actually exists and means something, then she'll let you know. Until then, you should be treating her as if she were single. Building a connection and physically escalating carefully and slowly.
I'm trying not to hit on her too much because of what her friend told me and i know how far out of my league she is.
Total bullshit. There are no such things as leagues. People have personal preferences. And you can never know what they are until you get in there!
That girl has her own mind and makes her own decisions, which is why her friend's command for you to not to hit on her, is total garbage and shouldn't have any hold on you.
Yesterday morning she messages me and we talk about music all day, I'm now starting to crush super hard on this chick. I'm scared to initiate too much messaging with her because she doesn't like clingy guys and I can't really tell if she likes me or if she's just being friendly because she's very social. So I'm trying to play it cool. I don't know what to do. I want to tell her I like her but I feel it's too soon and
Dude. If you decide to confess, you might as well give up now. Doing that would be such a glaring lack of confidence. Needy, also.
You don't know if she's into you? The only way to find out is to physically escalate with her. Get in there and make moves. Playing it cool = doing nothing and wasting your chance.
her maybe having a bf is holding me back. Any suggestions?
Has she literally told you she's seeing someone? And by the way, if she really is seeing someone, why haven't you seen him at these gatherings so far? Anyway, until she brings up that guy, he might not even be a thing. Meanwhile you are pissing your chance away.
