Search Results: hugging as signal

Me and this girl have been friends for a while now and I told her I had feelings for her but she didn't feel the same way, which is fine but she keeps sending me mixed signals (she really does, I'm not imagining things to keep the hope alive) and its really confusing.

For example, every time we play some sports we always end up play-wrestling to the point where ALL my friends who have seen us asked me if we were dating.

When her sister went on a trip we really got closer and she doesn't mind telling me secrets (she is the secretive type)

Sometimes she will tell me about random guys that used to chase her but never about anything recent and then ask about my dating life (she always initiates this on her own).

We bump always into each other when we walk together and always act like if its an accident (she almost made me fall more than once and says that she missed a chance to save my life , lol)

She stares into my eyes a lot and I caught her looking at me many times. She also blushes like hell whenever I joke about her trying to seduce me.

We don't hang out much because we live in different cities but she always makes a point of hugging me hello/Goodbye (noticed that cause one day I was really p*ssed and just said goodbye and went to my car and she complained that I didn't hug her).

Lately she introduced me to her family at their house and even took me in her room to show me her teddy bear who has the same nickname as me (at one point it was just me, her and the teddy bear in her closet and she met him first lol).

I guess what I'm trying to find out is why she sends me all those signals, knowing that I like her but always backing out if I try to respond to them and what should I do about it.
