Search Results: he always gets back in touch

I recently got back in touch with an old female friend of mine after living far away for a few years. I asked her about her city as a potential place to move. Always had feelings for her but she was with a guy for the last 7 years. Was always a strange friendship with her acting hot and cold all the time.

I was happy that when I asked about traffic in her city she gave me more information than I wanted to hype the place up. Even agreed to show me around if I made a trip. She oddly told me she hated dating out of the blue which I basically ignored and din't pry much into. She dated a guy during the summer so didn't talk to me much. I understood but it bothered me he was like me in uncomfortable ways.

Tried not to think about it but then I would see her mom of all people in my store. She even stops me once to talk about why I'm back in town. She talked to me for a long time, I had to walk away after 15 minutes being on the clock. Didn't know she even knew I moved. When the boy is out of the picture I get re-intouch with my friend who had changed her phone number (don't know if its related to the guy).

She's more bubbly this time giving me her work schedule, smiley faces, and telling me to tell her when I come down. Even admits her old boyfriend dragged her down (they never made sense) but because our relationship was always weird I continue only responding platonic and neutral, even tho I still like her, because I'd rather see her in person before throwing anything flirtatious her way. I didn't want to make my move to her city about her and get it in my head we'd be good frieds or more as I half-suspected she was just lonely working 7 day weeks between two jobs.

She suggested some date like actiivities for us to do if I went down but still haven't because of an awful work schedule and uncertainty over her. Now she doesn't talk to me at all after I got in my feelings and let it slip I still have feeling for her.

she's a really close friend, but I've only known her for a couple months. It was clear we both liked each other back in the summer, before we both went to college. she started dating some guy in October. I hadn't seen her in a while cause our schools are pretty far away, but we facetimed all the time (she would initiate it at least 50% of the time) and over Thanksgiving break i thought she was giving some signals that she is still into me, despite the boyfriend. So are these signs good indicators as to if she likes me or not? :

She smiles at me constantly, a full smile, that includes her eyes

She laughs and giggles at anythig I say

Talks to me the most out of a group

Always sits with me / next to me

Looks me in the eyes during conversation

Always has a good time when Im around

Makes an effort to talk to me and hang out with me

Playfully touches me (light punches - hand squeezes - etc.)

She touched my ass once just as I got up

Sent a heart in text after I asked if she wanted to hang

Used a lot of emojis / exclamation points in text

She always sits with me and though we stsrt out sitting a normal distance apart, she and I both kind of move closer until were touching each other and she's resting her legs on mine, sitting as close as possible, etc.

She also came alone to see me at my job and asked if I wanted to go buy clothes after I made a joke about not having any. She sent pics of us together to all of her friends (& her bf)

She talked less and less about her boyfriend the move we hung out over break

She has asked me stuff like “How do you not have a girlfriend”

She has said stuff like “Ill be your pretend girlfriend”

I really like her and I want nothing more than to be in a relationship with her, and Im sure there are some definite signs of interest here, but she has a boyfriend back in college, so what should I do?

(all these specific signals happened over the last week. Nevertheless, I've liked her since summer and Im positive she has feelings for me)
