Long story short. I have been messaging an old friend since she was back from college for winter break and I wanted to see her. I didn't get a chance too but I wanted to keep our old friendship going (and hopefully more) so I have still messaged her a little here and there.

Today I sent her a picture that has to do with understanding the differences between a relationships vs. a friendships and joked that I am clueless about the differences.

She didn't realize I was joking and responding that your not suppose to go on dates or make out with a friend..

In the past I stop talking to her every time I feel she is putting me into orbit.

She surprisingly keeps the conversation going and asks me how my love life is going (knowing full well its not going well) - I give a half sarcastic answer and asked her the same back.

She said hers is actually going pretty well but didn't offer any other details. She knows I have a thing for her so her response either meant "I am getting dicked down on the reg" and I should just drop contact with her.

Or listen to my gut which is telling me that I should show her more attention and maybe she will want to be with me.

The logic side of my brain is agreeing more with the former hypothesis. I know I wasn't super descriptive but maybe someone can offer me some advice?

This isn't distressing me so please avoid telling me about 'oneitis' or that I need to lift, get money and hang with friends. I am just a little uncertain as to whether or not I should continue talking to her or just not answer her messages.

Im about ~ [8.5] and she is ~ [9.5]

Ok tear me up now..
