So, theres a girl I recently realized im starting to have feelings for. We used to be good friends as little kids in elementary school and we reconnected this past summer. Shes been giving me some signs and I think shes into me too.

I see her around at least once a week or so

We dont really Snap / text outside of just streaks and general stuff

She always just gives off a flirty vibe around me

Shes always laughing and joking around

She always stands just a little too close or lightly brushes against me

She looks my in the eye and holds eye contact when one of us is talking

Playfully hitting me after a joke or something

She asked me if I had a girlfriend back at school (i thought that was a big sign but idk for sure)

She was telling me about how some other guy asked her out but she said no and we joked about it

She told me shes single but shes looking to date someone right now

I was talking to her and another friend (I forget what exactly about) and she said something like “you should take us on dates”

As I was leaving one day she goes “see you later! Love you!”

When Inwas leaving a while ago for fall semester and I saw her. She mentioned out of nowhere that she might be coming to visit while im at school soon (she has a friend who goes to the same school) and basically implied that we should hangout, and then gave me a hug goodbye.

i came home a few weeks to work and she stopped in at my job twice. She asked if I missed her, flirted the way she normally does, and asked if she was my favorite customer, then told me that shed see me again this weekend and then blew me a kiss as she walked out.

So, normally I would have just asked already, but shes also a friend and I dont want to make things awkward. Also im a little afraid that she is just being friendly, because she will act like this a little with other guys sometimes, though i dont think she does as much.

So, anyway, I texted her this : “Hey, we should hangout before I leave again. I think wed have a fun time. Would you want to get dinner tomorrow around 7?”

But this was her response : “aw thats great but Im helping name study for a test tomorrow that we have on the next day”

So does that mean shes not interested, or is this some sort of shit test, or she genuinely has an excuse? Idk what that means and it makes no sense because she was showing every sign of wanting to go out with me.

I responded with “hey np Ill be around until Monday so lmk if you feel like doing anything” and left it at that

Its been about a two weeks since then and she didn’t get back to me. However she started answering me on Snapchat a lot more so maybe thats something. Anyway, im going to see her tomorrow for a while because were both helping out at the same event (no, we didnt plan it)

So how should I act around her? Should i wait and act normal and see if she brings it up or just talk about it from the start. I also kind of want to shoot my shot again anyway, in person this time, so Im not sure what to do here.
