Search Results: pretend to have feelings for others

she's a really close friend, but I've only known her for a couple months. It was clear we both liked each other back in the summer, before we both went to college. she started dating some guy in October. I hadn't seen her in a while cause our schools are pretty far away, but we facetimed all the time (she would initiate it at least 50% of the time) and over Thanksgiving break i thought she was giving some signals that she is still into me, despite the boyfriend. So are these signs good indicators as to if she likes me or not? :

She smiles at me constantly, a full smile, that includes her eyes

She laughs and giggles at anythig I say

Talks to me the most out of a group

Always sits with me / next to me

Looks me in the eyes during conversation

Always has a good time when Im around

Makes an effort to talk to me and hang out with me

Playfully touches me (light punches - hand squeezes - etc.)

She touched my ass once just as I got up

Sent a heart in text after I asked if she wanted to hang

Used a lot of emojis / exclamation points in text

She always sits with me and though we stsrt out sitting a normal distance apart, she and I both kind of move closer until were touching each other and she's resting her legs on mine, sitting as close as possible, etc.

She also came alone to see me at my job and asked if I wanted to go buy clothes after I made a joke about not having any. She sent pics of us together to all of her friends (& her bf)

She talked less and less about her boyfriend the move we hung out over break

She has asked me stuff like “How do you not have a girlfriend”

She has said stuff like “Ill be your pretend girlfriend”

I really like her and I want nothing more than to be in a relationship with her, and Im sure there are some definite signs of interest here, but she has a boyfriend back in college, so what should I do?

(all these specific signals happened over the last week. Nevertheless, I've liked her since summer and Im positive she has feelings for me)
