Search Results: can a girl ask a guy to hangout

Im 16 years and a junior in high school. So this girl I have had a crush on since 4th grade asked me out to preference (girls choice formal dance). She was in my 3rd grade class till 6th and then I never had a class with her from 7-10th. I would see her in the halls every once a while from that time and we would smile and say hi but that's it. This year she is in two of my classes and was in my homecoming group but because of where our seats are we never get to talk. Before she asked me i caught her looking at me in class and she would look away quickly. After she asked me she texted me and said we should hangout to get to know each other, so the day I ask her in person she acted really nervous and spoke really fast and when I asked her what she wanted to do she said "I dont know, you pick" or "im fine with whatever". I told my friends and they said that means she liked me but when I was with her I didn't feel like she did. by the way she brought her friend and I brought mine. She asked a lot of questions about me but I felt like she was just saying stuff so its not awko instead actually being interested in me. After that we had a few conversations on text but never in person. The dance is in a weeks time and I dont know if she likes me or not. In one of my classes she laughs at what I say in class. For exmpl I put on my friend glasses and say "man I look so punk" and then I hear her giggle. But other than that she makes no effort to talk to me. I want to talk to her but I come in late to class and when I do get the chance she is talking to her friends. I know she isn't shy but she isn't outgoing either. She has a few guy friends and so i kinda know how she acts with guys. Why would she ask me to a dance/date when we rarely talk. Does she like me? Why won't she talk to me if she does? Does this mean she doesn't like me? Is she playing hard to get? I could really use some help on what to do and if she likes me or not pretty please! :D
