Search Results: giving him hints that i am interested

I'm getting to know this one girl at my school, and so far she has responded positively to my approaches. She laughs at all of my stupid jokes, she smiles all the time when we talk, and I catch her glancing at me from time to time. I'm second in command in JROTC at my school, and I offered to train her to tryout for a commanding position in our upcoming competition because she's new and I'm one of the most experienced people. She accepted, but we haven't made official plans yet. I normally hang out in the classroom in the mornings and after I started giving her hints that I'm interested she began showing up in the mornings as well. She treats me differently than the other guys in that she is very flirty and touchy with other guys, but she is much more serious and engaged with me. She also holds doors open for me (which is strange because normally I would be doing that). I know that it seems obvious that she likes me, but my friend is very close to her and had hinted that he was going after her before. He stopped though and I told him that I'm going to try. I don't know if he's stopping for me to try or what, but I expect him to uphold the bro code, plus he doesn't like her near as much as I do. She's very playful with him though and he's in the room in the mornings as well so I don't know if he's the reason why she started coming and it was just a coincidence that she started the day after I made my first move

We knew eachother in high school but never talked outside of class. 7 weeks ago we moved into our dorms and started freshman year of college, and we live right next to each other. We have been hanging out ever since, early on 20+ hours a week but the last couple weeks 5+ hours a week. We go to the gym, we would eat together, hang out in our dorms, go to football games, etc. Just last week she got lunch and dinner with me in the same day. She was very forward the first 4 weeks, and dropped hints she was interested. She initiated about everything. Well, I am an idiot and acted a bit timid and never really showed interest back. I do really like her now, but the past few weeks the mood has changed. It seems like she just sees me as a friend now. I'll initiate, and she'll be busy, but then she will initiate a couple days later (I usually make myself available). I feel like she is slowly becoming more distant, and giving her too much attention early on and not making a move was bad. We used to be workout buddies but lately she has actually started going to the gym with another guy! So I don't know what to do, the spark has died becuase I didn't make my move and seems like she moved on. By the way, we have a good friendship still. Like I said just a week ago we had lunch and then dinner together in the same day. Should I just stop giving her my attention and kind of move on (see where it goes), or should I make my move right now and tell her straight up how I feel.
