We met about 3 years ago, we were placed in the same class, nothing really happened that year, but next year we got put into the same class, but we knew nobody in that class except eachother. So we got to know eachother really well.
We became pretty good friends, we sat next to eachother, helped with homework, talked online for hours and facetiming and stuff, but we never really did stuff together ouside of school. Now at this point I started to really like her and I know I should have asked her out then but I was way too nervous for that.
About 2 months pass by and it was almost Christmas, she made a new friend in the class and I also joined a friend group; we still talked online but not really at school anymore. Sometimes when I was alone at school she would come up with me and talk and stuff, or when she walked by me in class she would tease me casually. This went on for like a month, I thought she really liked me back.
So, I finally mustered enough confidence to tell her I liked her. I didn't do this at school (bc of course I didn't) but online trough a word document. (Now in hindsight i should have just asked her to get food or something but I was stupid and anxious back then) But she said:
"I think we should just stay friends" Then she immediately deviated by mentioning a stupid joke I made in the word doc. I was ofc sad and devastated but was mentally prepared so it was okay. After all this we still talked almost everyday, and facetimed at night for hours on end. (She was mostly talking about who she hated at school, truth or dare, and what she did and stuff) This went on for about 6 months. In that time I also found out she talks to a shitload of guys on discord, all foreign ppl, all either 12 or 35.
I thought maybe we just needed to do something irl, so I asked her like mulitple times to do something irl but something always got in the way of family, me having a job now and stuff, but yesterday she was at a camping site with caravans and stuff and mentioned me coming as a joke, but my stupid ahh didn't realise this, so I said i could come, she said like: "Wait, really?"
Long story short I ended up calling in sick for work just to go there, it was like 45 min with the bus, and her dad and her ended up picked me up at the bus station and I met her mom and and grandma and grandpa (basically her whole family was there). Her nieces and nephews were also there and she was kinda like the baby sitter, so ofc I helped babysit aswell. (The kids were 4, 6, 7, and 8 years old)
The nieces and nephews went to get lunch and I had some alone time with her, so we went to the beach nearby. Walked around a bit and took our shoes and socks off to walk in the sea. I had a lot of fun with her.
We came back and her dad gave us some money to buy lunch at the local snackbar, we ate, we talked, nothing crazy. Her dad seemed to really like me.
We had to go babysitting again, she was really good at it and I was really bad at it, so she helped me a bit and stuff.
Then we had dinner, the restaurant was really full and they didnt account for me eating with as it was a last minute decision. So her dad let me and her get something at the snackbar close by for some food. There wasn't really much talking at the dinner table, because the nieces and nephews were also sitting at the table and my phone also died. (The adults had an separate table)
After barely finishing her dad took me back to the bus station I really got the impression the dad liked me. (I didn't really get to talk to her mom)
Idk what to do now anymore I kinda hoped something would yesterday but nothing did.
I still feel like I'm in the friendzone. Should I continue to try and get out of it? Or should i just give up? Am I crazy to think she ever liked me? I don't know what to do anymore. I'm in the same class as her so if I block her things will get awkward quick.
pls gimme advice thanks
Edit: A small thing I forgot to add, I never get to talk to her sister for some reason on video calls for some reason, everytime her sister walks into the room she would yell something frantically, but she would mute herself.
But at the camping she was really nice and didn't say anything at all
