Sorry for reposting this but I felt like an idiot and removed in before.

So..

She kisses my cheek when we take photosShe tells me ''Love u man'' -> she initiates this, I tell her ''Love u too ;)'' most of the timeShe hugs me from the back, gives me massages , and lays on my shoulders -> I do the same tbh

thing is, she only does this to me.. and when other guys try to do it to her she looks at me for rescue or help, or she feels weird

We kind of flirt/even physical flirting- > sometimes she feels my biceps and my ''abs''

Sometimes when our face are close together she looks at my lipsShe asks me for advices for boys / I ask her advices for girls ( I helped her get a guy and she help me make out with some girls and also with my ex)

Well also she's the ''cute pretty shy girl'' type and in my experience they're sometimes naive or they're very friendly and nice so I don't really know how they work

I tried with her before and she rejected me, 1 year ago (we were not close friends during that time) (we know each other for over a year now)

We are not bestfriends more of close friends,as we never text each other and most our interaction are from real life

We got closer in the start of the year

Do you guys know how these type of girls work?

Do you guys think I'm in the friendzone? IS she just being too friendly?

I feel like an idiot even asking this smh. I know I should just ask her out on a date sometime or something to know but hell I really cherish my friendship with this girl and I don't want it to be tainted because I make a second move. but sometimes the urge to just kiss her gets to me- SO I want some insights from the experts
