Search Results: is staring attraction

she's a sophmore and im a senior. Were both in High School. She used to really like me, but i didn't realize it and i wasn't as interested. I think she moved on, but we still talked and everything.

Then i realized I had feelings for her, and i started to show them. She was interested in me too, but I made two big mistakes :

1 - I waited too long. I should have hinted at my interest from the start much stronger instead of playing the friend angle

2 - I texted her a big paragraph telling her how much I like her and I want to get to know her, and asking her out.

She said Im cute andnshe loves me, but now isn't a good time. Maybe in a few weeks or when the time is right.

Its been two months since then. She seems a little hot and cold towards me. She does things that show interest in me (gives me her mumber, stares at me, says hi alot) and then she will do the opposite days later (leave me on read sometimes, ignore me) We still talk, and the chemistry is still there, but the flirtacious spark isn't there as much as it used to be.

Now the way I see it, I have three options

1 - Have an in person conversation about how much i regret not getting to know her earlier and how much i want to be more than friends and take her out one night over break
(im leaning towards this option right now)

2 - Casually ask her if she wants to go see a new movie she likes over break (it could just be as friends)

3 - Keep playong the long game with her. Text as much as possible over break.

I really like this girl and i screwed things up bad in the past with her. I do have other options, and she knows it, but i want to make things work with her.

So, based off the above info, what are her feelings for me and what should i do in the last two days before break for her?

im gonna try and give as much info as i can

I've seen her a few times in my local area like at cafes and stuff
I checked her out and i have a crush on her but when i see her i dont hide the attraction but i ignore her as to not embarras her or make it awkward
she's gone up to me though and stared right at me a few times and some other times she's looked curiously at me

I saw her today, checked her out she didn't notice it then i went on my business
As i went near her she started staring at me full on but with eyes wide open like trembling too
Then i saw her and i smiled and she just ran away and hid

Please analyse i think she's gorgeous but i dont want to project that into her thanks

I have PTSD and other issues I am working on so I may inadvertently project myself onto this girl.

I have been checking her out a lot and she's noticed me doing it. Sometimes she looks at me and when I look at her looks like she is about to get angry and pretends she isn't looking. A few times I look at her and I pretend to ignore her and to mask my attraction to her. She saw me today and she stood and did nothing but then I saw her again and I walked past her and she saw me and she was staring, even though she had other customers to serve. She stood with a small smile, like an acknowledgment

Please let me know what you think is going on - as in put yourself in her mind and try to think of what she is likely doing

Thanks
