Search Results: adding friends on here

I've been talking to on average one new girl per day, getting a girl's number 2-3 times a week, and have had about 5 good female friends. However, every time I start to flirt with them, they get very uncomfortable around me, saying they only want me as a friend. I don't know if it's my appearance, and here are 2 pictures:
Also, one of my friends say that my suicidal depression seems to be a turn-off, but she admits in her confusion as to when I'm not having an anxiety/depressive episode, I'm one of the funniest and smartest people she knows personally. Perhaps is my mental issues prevalent when interacting with people one on one? Most of my friends don't know that I have this issue anyways, so I don't think so.

Another hypothesis as to why I can't get a girl is that apparently, I might have too few hobbies and interests, but I don't know the validity of this. As a Mechanical Engineering student in Waterloo, it's very hard to have more than a few hobbies and balance an 80 average. I used to have lots of hobbies before depression took it away. However, after depression hit, I was still able to retain my love for 3d printing, science, designing, business, stocks, and being sarcastically funny [assuming I'm not suicidal at the given moment. Otherwise, we can add dark humor to this list] :P

Another thing my friends have said is to continue improving myself, especially with the issues I have, but once again, I'm skeptical so I'm coming to the online community for advice. The main issue, and arguably the only issue, I'm plagued with is my anxiety/depression. However, I feel like I am making significant progress day by day. It's been months since my last attempt at my life and I've stopped cutting myself for the past 3 weeks. That's enormous progress if you ask me. But they say it's not enough. What's the online community's opinion?

But seriously, does it look like my depression is the only thing in the way or is there another hidden variable my friends and I missed?

Im really confused on what to do about this girl and how to act, so here goes...

I know for sure she had a major crush on me. She told me she would have went to prom with me, said we were practically dating. She literatlly did everything short of actually saying she liked me. Now, at the time, I liked another girl, but that went south over the summer.

When school started again this year, this girl continued to show all these signs of liking me. I realized I liked her too, so i added her in Snapchat and we started talking literatlly every night, and really getting to know each other.

This went on for about a month or two, and the reason i didn't ask her was because i knew a friend also liked her. She talked to this friend as well, and he asked her out eventually. She told him she likes him but she doesn't feel like she would be a good girlfriend and her parents are strict. They haven't talked since then.

Even after rejecting me friend, she still talked and showed signs of liking me a lot, so i asked her out about a week later.

She said she loves me and im so much fun to talk to, but now isn't a good time for her and she needs to focus on other things for a bit.

I was confused by that, so i said i understand, but we should get together "when the time is right" (meaning in a few weeks). She responded to that with yes! Your so cute!!!

So, its been two weeks since then. At first i distanced myself a little from here, but i gradually started to talk to her a lot again.

I told her i missed her and wanted to start texting again (we would still talk in school) I've been pretty open about liking her, complimenting her a lot and stuff.

She still shows sign of liking me. sometimes acts a little more nervous and distant now. I think its because she dodnt think i liked her and now isn't sure how to act, but i have no idea.

Either way, im going to casually ask her out again a week or two and see what happens.

Question : How much does she like me & how do i act to get the date?
