So, I met a girl in September at my school's FGC scene because we both play Tekken. Not long after we started talking and getting close. I had no feelings at the time, and just felt like she was a friend to me. Then, she started to do all these things that basically said she liked me. One instance in particular is when she cosplayed as Josie around Halloween and showed up to the local with it on while I was playing. I sure as hell noticed it, and didn't know how to react. I really took it as nothing, then she started to show more signs like flirt with me, always talk to me on the regular, etc. I never noticed any of these until about last week, because I'm a dense fukker. At the same time, I had a little interest in her and was wondering if I could shoot my shot but never did because I thought I was out of her league.
So I tell some of my homeboys about all this shyt and every single one of them said that she clearly likes me if she's been doing all this. She's been over at my house a few times to play Tekken with me alone, and my roommates came home and saw and they even knew from there that she liked me. So Friday, I go to therapy and talk about it to my therapist and she pretty much says the same thing that everyone else has been saying, but to ask her out or just ask her about her feelings. I walked her to work that same day and she asked me "So what do you see me as?" and I said a good friend, but hesitant and took it back to tell her that she's a girl that I'd date. So all of that pretty much confirmed everything that has happened up to this point, but she told me that she can't commit to any relationship right now, and any date she'd go on right now is nothing serious. I think there's something going on in her head making her feel like that, I don't remember what, but I know her only ex treated her like shyt and she's done things like tell me all the ways that she'd like guys to ask her out, told me things she'd tell her girlfriends, and other things. I pretty much accepted what she said and she said it'd be best if we remain as friends for right now. But, recently, I've started actually catching feelings for her. I don't really know what to do but wait. There's no other girls that pique my interest, and at the same time I don't actively chase after people because I stopped that long ago.
I'm just stuck... there's a mutual like here, but she isn't ready to commit. I don't know what else I can do here.
every girl says this. EVERY SINGLE ONE
