Search Results: guys leading girls on

Long story short, this girl in my school knows I'm interested in her (don't ask why, it doesn't matter) and I told her I felt that she was leading me on (in a polite way, of course). I regret this, but anyway, I apologized over text because she was out of town and I needed to get it off of my chest because I felt bad. Here is our conversation:

Me: "I want to apologize for what I said yesterday. Looking back at it, I called you out for something you were doing unconciously and I feel bad about it. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving."

Her: "That is nice of you but don't apologize. I wasn't in a place to assume you were interested and I didn't mean to do anything like that. At the moment I just honestly want to know you better and I hope you have a good Thanksgiving. Don't worry about it!"

I'm just looking for a little bit of an opinion on what you guys think she is thinking of the situation and me. I know that she likes someone else, but I'm not sure if she could develop feelings for me if we became better friends. She hasn't said that she hasn't liked me in that way, but I want to know if I should keep a look out for some signs of interest later, or if I should just give up and settle for friendship. (Not that it would be bad).

Also, yeah I get it that there's barely anything here to work with, but I'm just wondering.

Basically, there's this girl in my school I like and I asked one of her friends, who is one of my close friends, if he thought I had a shot with her. He replied that she was obsessed with someone else. The girl had seemed interested in me since we had started talking about a month ago. I talked to a different friend about how I should go about this, and he suggested talking to her about it. I'm friendzoned obviously, but I know that I usually start to develop feelings for a friend if I know them well. Do you think the same is possible for her?

Well, here's the conversation. Not looking for criticism, because yes, I realize that I made a foolish decision.
Me: "Hey"
Her: "Hi"
Me: "Could we talk?"
Her: "Sure"
Me: "I don't really know if you knew, but I was interested in you, and I asked someone if you were interested in someone and they said you liked someone else. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I would suggest not leading someone on, because I know that most people would prefer to know whether or not you were interested in someone else. I get that you were being polite, but just take that as a suggestion."
Her: "Yes of course I am so sorry I didn't know"
Me: "No it's cool" "I know the feeling in a way"
Her: "Either way I would still like to get to know you better if thats okay"
Me: "Sure"
(Later) Me: "Despite the conversation earlier, would you still be open to facetiming?"
Her: "Yes in hope of becoming better friends"
Me: "Yes, that's what I was suggesting"
And then we talking casually from there on but she suggested Facetiming at a certain time. I feel like her response to me asking her to Facetime was a dead giveaway that she wants nothing more than friendship, but I would like to know if you guys think that there is a chance that she would start to like me once we became closer friends and she knew me better.
