So some details here. We are both in college and wanting to be doctors. We met each other over a online class due to the pandemic and from day 1 I had a crush on her. I didn’t message her till four weeks into the semester, and I made the stupid mistake of asking to hangout too early, to which she stated “I am genuinely not looking for a relationship right now.” So I backed off that. I messaged her again weeks later and we have been texting over snap ever since. We have both been getting to know each other’s lives outside of school, what are interests are etc. she is extremely school and goal focused. She also is always the first person to view anything I post on Snapchat, nearly every single time i do, she’s the first to view. Everything she does is centered on school. Anyways, I texted her something about good luck on ever finals not going to say exactly what I said, but she replied “thank you so so much, you are a great friend I appreciate your sweet words! :).” Seeing the “friend” part feels crushing to me to be honest. I can’t tell if she likes me or not, she seems to be interested and ask a lot of questions back, but I just don’t know. I like this girl and I don’t want to be just friends. I understand relationships are scary especially when you have worked so hard in school. What do you think? Is this something I should continue to pursue and just keep letting her know that I won’t ruin her career or should I give up? Is she just being careful?
Am I in the friendzone?
