Search Results: response to a thank you

With the argument for raising the minimum wage making the rounds again I was wondering how many people have worked for minimum wage for an extended period of time. The frequently cited "burger flippers" where I live make ~$3-4/hr more than minimum wage. I started working when I was 15 and my first job as an ice cream scooper made minimum wage, but after 3 months I went to work at the grocery store making $9/hr and never had another job where I made less.

Anyways, thanks for the responses!

Girl seems to like me. I think as a friend. But when we are outside she gives me signals, always asks me to dance with her, she hugs me, I always somehow end up holding her bra without even trying and she seems like she doesn't notice. She asked me to tie her high heels when we were out, but they were already tied. She later said she was annoyed and angry at me, but she always came to me to talk to me. We made plans to go to one event she doesn't like, because when I mentioned it she said that she doesn't like it but that she "might go with me if I ask😜". And I asked her and we are going there. I know her one year (we haven't spoken for half of last year because of a fight), and when I first met her she said she always saw me in the pub and why I haven't ever invited her to come drink with me. And when I did invite her, she said after our meeting that she thought I invited her because I like her. And when I invited her second time her friend new about it and send my friend (omg they are going on a second date). But the problem is she replies to my text sometimes imidiately and sometimes in 4-5 hours and sends really small text. Not like good, or thanks more like, 4 word responses. I dont mind that, but I know she is at the phone because she likes my instagram picture during that period. Thats recent but also one other reason I dont think she likes me that way is because when I was with her drunk one night last year, I said my friends said they think she likes me. And she replied with "Why can't I have male friends?". We were planning to go last week out just us two alone but couldnt (I asked her, but later learnt I can't make it), so she suggested tommorow which is valentine day (she said she forgot its tommorow). She also says stuff I dont think girl would say if she had crush on me. I just want to know what other people think, because I really like her as a person and dont want to do anything stupid to ruin our friendship.

So last year I got back in touch with a girl I went to high school with because she transferred universities and we hung out at least a few days every week. Sometimes at her place other times at mine. We haven’t seen each other much the last few months because we both go to school full time while working full time and she works as well. It’s hard for me to find time to see her but we do still try and make an effort to see each other.
We were texting back and forth one night and I kind of told her I had feelings for her and whoever had her was extremely lucky and her response was “Thank you, but I do just see us as friends, and I’m sorry if that’s not what you wanted to hear.”
She’s actually been a lot more open and candid about what’s going on in her life and we share a lot more with each other now. She still calls sometimes and asks to hangout like she brushed the whole conversation off. Others have decided to lose contact with me when I ask them out but she doesn’t seem to want to?
Am I permanently stuck in the friend zone?
