Search Results: too much time together

Just a short story for the gist of it: I've met this woman whom I greatly enjoy talking to, who is also very beautiful, extroverted, outgoing and social. We met at church and spoke on a few ocassions. When I talked to her she always looked me straight in the eyes without breaking away and all that. She mentioned a bit casually that she and her friends hosted regular get-togethers back at their campus and that I should come. I said I'd think about it, flash forward to the Sunday before the Tuesday for the get-together and without me saying anything she goes out of her way to ask me if her friend had added me to their whatsapp group, I say no and she does so personally immidiately *and* adds me to her personal whatsapp (even though she didn't need to). Now at the actual events where I've attended thrice now, she's been a bit more "distant" I suppose, not really initating convos, at times I think even avoiding eye contact. Last time though me, her and my sister who went along spoke and she mentioned that she "overheard" my conversation nearby with another guy when I talked about how "it could be a movie the way you met your wife", even though she was at that time in the midst of a high-pace card game, and she commented on hearing something about "romantic movies" (I nor he said nothing of romance at any point).

So am I being silly here, is it just "normal extroverted girl behavior" or is there something to gauge here in the form of romantic interest or attraction? Thankful for input. I feel like the invite and whatsapp deal could be a sign but I'm chronically cynical lol.

There’s this girl who I fell for about a year and half ago. I might be an idiot but she’s the most smart, funny, kind, and loving person I’ve ever met. We both had a dark moment in our life when we met and we grew so close together that we messaged each other so much like good morning and goodnight and knew each other so well. One day I wanted to ask her if we can become more then friends, she said no because of cultural differences but it’s different than you might imagine.. I also screwed up and I said “quit playin games with me” and I still to this day can’t forgive myself for that. fast forwarding about 5-7 months later we grew even closer, I tried again. I found out she was talking to someone else. I’m not the type of person who will never let a girl talk to other people, everyone has their own choices. I was definitely hurt and we stopped talking to each other for 5 months. 5 months pass by she messaged me saying : I missed you and you probably hate me. I replied back with I don’t hate anyone, I don’t hold grudges. I asked why she decided to message me after all this time, she said because she misses me. I honestly miss her too 🥺 but I can’t do another “friend zone” with her because she is the most perfect person in my eyes. But she can only offer a friendship. Should I move on, I’d hate to lose this person truthfully. But I don’t want to be depressed again when I fall in love with her again with her beautiful personality.
