I’m sorry if this is a bit disjointed but I’m going to try to condense 4 months of a relationship into this post.
Ok, to start we’re both in college in the same friend group. It’s only very recently (two months maybe) that we’ve became much closer friends. We hang out one on one maybe once a week, but in the group quite a bit more than that. We’ve blown off parties to just sit together and talk. We text each other pretty much every day, it’s a pretty even split between who texts first. Now that it’s spring break she’s been sending me photos of flowers she sees. In this time I’ve really opened up to her and I feel as though she’s opened up to me. I feel like I’m very obviously nervous or shy around her sometimes, but that might only be visible to me.
The real reasons for my wondering here came very recently. The first is a few weeks ago when we decided to take mushrooms together. It was a fun night, lots of weird bonding moments. But there came a time when we were both coming down and we were alone in my room and things got kind of quiet and we just stared at each other. Then of course someone else walks in and things went back to normal.
The other thing was us two and a third person were watching a movie. Third person leaves and all of a sudden she gets a lot closer to me on the couch. I see out of the corner of my eye she looks at me sometimes instead of watching the movie.
I’m pretty sure if I asked her out she’d be receptive., but I can’t risk jeopardizing this friendship I have right now. Also, she clearly trusts me and I don’t want her to think I’ve ever had ulterior movies at any point.
If there’s anything else I can clarify please ask!
TLDR: I can’t read signals for the life of me and I think my friend is sending them?
