Does my crush like me back? Should I confess? What should I do?

Anonymous

Hey, so there's this girl from another university that I have a crush on. I've been good friends with her for the past year or so, and like me, she's a very shy, introverted, 'nerdy' type of girl. I have zero experience with this type of stuff so I'm not sure what I should be doing.

Some background:

- We text chat almost daily, mostly starting from her. Its usually her asking how my day is going, then playing video games or watching movies through a voice chat, occasionally video calls.

- We haven't met much in real life outside of a few group hangouts, but we had fun 1-1 conversations when we had the chance to.

- She sometimes compliments my fashion style and hair, even though I feel she's not really the type of person to honestly compliment stuff.

- I feel like she picks up on a lot of things I say, like a lot of phrases I randomly say, music I often hear, and games I play.

- I don't think there's been much flirting if any. Though there's a lot of joking around and playful jabs all the time.

That being said, I'm really, really afraid that she doesn't like me back and things go for the worse. I feel like I'm very emotionally attached to her and derive most of my enjoyment being with her. If it fails, and we stop talking with each other, I genuinely don't know if I can emotionally handle it.

Any advice would be awesome, any ideas to get closer would be amazing too!
