Search Results: flirting with a shy girl

I hate for this explanation to be lengthy but it has to be. Back in January, I told my best friend/crush that I liked him (I did this in a note and I put it in a 5-Gum container.) After giving him the note he became super shy but then would still talk to me. I mean he is already a shy person, but sometimes I wonder what we even are. There are days where he flirts super heavily and then times when he just avoids me for no reason, and I'm wondering if I said something wrong. We tease each other a lot and it's just something about him that makes me like him a lot. He teases me sexually and I don't mind it because we are also best friends. I am also bi so he will also make comments about other girls. His friends tease me when I walk past him so I am wondering if he has said anything about me to them. I Just don't know what we are. I like him so much; every time I ask him we really don't talk about it. But when people ask him if I am his girlfriend he says yes. I dunno if he is just joking or what.

Also to add when we hang out, I feel this connection like something is there. Some days I feel like we are already a couple (even though we have never talked about it). I am not sure about whether or not I am in the friend zone or not.
