How do I navigate this situation?

I have known this girl for the biggest part of my life and we had a crush on each other back in the day but nothing ever happened.

We became what I thought was friends but our behavior around each other never changed and I thought people were just over exaggerating when they said that they thought we were together or doing something. At a party we were once posted on some story saying we should get a room (we never kissed or anything), people have asked more than once if we were in a relationship and are sure we hooked up.

But recently i heard she was i to me again at a point and then I started thinking, our behavior never changed but because i thought we were friends but what if she has always remained seeing it differently. I thought the door was shut but because I heard this i started to really like the idea and now I am into her again. But because we always acted the same I am not sure what to do.

Probably the only thing you can do is ask her.

I mean I was in a vaguely similar situation once. Had an awesome friend who I enjoyed hanging around with for a few years. Was somewhat attracted to her, but I just enjoyed her company so I didn't push that angle. I only found out too late that she'd essentially had a crush on me and never acted on it, but gave up because I never tried anything.
To make matters worse, we'd had ANOTHER friend who tried his luck with her and got shut down hard, and he just ghosted us after his failure... and that incident immediately killed any intention I might have had of trying my luck at anything more than friends.
Anyway... things ended badly, we broke contact. And it basically just happened because we didn't even try talking about those sorts of things.

Yeah for me kinda similar but she has her moments, the past month and a half she has been bringing it up too much to not notice it. We also never discussed our feelings directly, always vaguely.

Make your move soon or you will lose her to the guy who doesn't have his head up his ass

Sooner or later she will get tired of waiting for you to wake up and pull your head out of your ass and realize there's a girl in front of you who always wants you around

[Asker]

Yeah thank you

For fuck's sake... Just give her a damn good fucking... Simples!

[Asker]

[EmmaMary]

Ah, the classic "we're just friends... but with all these sparks flying". Sounds like your feelings have been playing a tantalizing game of hide and seek all these years. 🎯 If you're catching those old butterflies again and wondering if she's still thinking of you in a rose-tinted way, it's time to face the music. Taking the plunge can be terrifying, but it's better than playing the "what if" game forever. A direct chat, sprinkled with honesty and a dash of vulnerability, might just turn your long-standing friendship into something more. Life's too short to dance around romance—grab it by the horns, my friend! 🕺💃

Just be patient and persistent.

Lately she is coming on stronger than ever but then also pulling back it’s like she isn’t sure or doesn’t want to make it too obvious and then floods me the other day
