So what's the deal with this girl?

If she's interested and she knows you're interested she will probably make a move or give you signals. So if you care about the friendship don't pounce on her, in case she's not interested.

I'm in a relatively similar situation and all I can say is it'd feel a whole lot better to get it out in the open. The sooner you find out the good/bad news, the sooner you can move on in whichever direction it happens to go. If she says no then at least you have the friendship and you can move on, if she says yes, jackpot

Will she really? Maybe she thinks that I just think we're friends because she said no earlier?

Good luck with that

Where do I even start? I really liked/like this girl. She's 24, I'm 21. I told her how I felt around a month ago and said that even though I liked her, we should get to know each other a bit before we start going out. She said she didn't quite have those feelings for me. I was gutted but still decided to be friends with her. She then moved to another city for 2 months.
It's been 3 weeks now that she's moved away. She's coming back in the beginning of February. Her rates per text have gone up a lot since she's in another city(we live in India) yet she texts me atleast 4-5 times a day. Whenever she sees me on facebook, she always starts a conversation. We're really close and not a day goes by when we don't talk.
I"m thinking, could she be starting to like me now? Should I tell her again how I feel and see where this goes or will it be a potentially devastating blow to our friendship?
Also, even though I live in India, I plan to study in the UK next year which is why I've joined this forum.

Maybe you are growing on her but don't say how you feel about her until it's really obvious.

Good luck!!!
