Basically I am 18 and there is this girl I like that I work but I'm not sure if it's as a friend or if I have a crush on her. She is moving to another company soon and I am devastated.
I bought her flowers the other day as a thank you for everything she's done with me and she then hugged me and I am normally quite rigid when it comes to that but I felt so close to her, closer than I've ever felt to anyone. That moment was short but just for a brief second I felt a strong connection when we hugged and didn't want it to end. Anyway she got me a card saying she would miss me and I've been reading it over and over which is just making me upset like I said I've just never really felt as close to someone as I do her.
I often like to think of her as a crush and I flirt with her and I think she might flirt with me sometimes though it's more playful and to be honest I don't know if she even likes me that much. She's never mentioned staying in contact with me and I don't want to seem needy but I can't imagine my life without her. I have her number and we text now and again. Although I have a crush on her I feel like I have a great chemistry with her and I don't want to ruin our relationship by making it sexual I mean i'm a virgin and I wouldn't mind losing it to her but I don't know I overthink things and worry she only likes me because we worked together and I was nice to her.
What should i do should I just see if she's contacts me first, should I invite her out for a drink after a couple weeks and should i leave our relationship where it is or progress it? Sorry for the long question I'm just so confused at the moment and upset. I struggle socially especially with girls and she's helped me start to overcome it without knowing it.
