Search Results: how to get your crush to ask you out

I know this girl had a huge crush on me last year. She was chasing me, but I never realized and responded in kind, and so I'm pretty sure she started to lose interest.
Larely she still flirted and showed interest in me, so I starting showing interest back. This went on for a while, and I waited too long to ask her. she said this :

i love you! your so fun to talk to but now is not really a good time  I'm really sorry I hope you understand. 

I said I understood & I like being friends, but I also said I hope to do something in a few weeks "when the time is right", to which she called me cute and said definitely yes

I feel like she still does have feelings. It's been a month and we've continued to talk and flirt a lot. The past week or so, I decided to back off a little. I stopped contacting her/ talking to her in school. I let her notice me having fun with other girls. I notice her glancing at me more than she used to

I texted her yesrerday :

me : I need your help! My gingerbread house is caving in and I don't know how to fix it. How do you repair a gingerbread house?

Her : haha oh no!!! Use some icing and glue it back together

I'm pretty sure I ate all the icing while I was building the house

lmao that's literally me

did you make one this year?

no I didn't I wanted to though

aw you could have made one with me. I'll teach you the techniques of an advanced crafter

lmao yeah

what are you doing for Christmas this year?

Having family over what about you?

we stopped texting after that cause I went to see a movie and it got late.

today in school i didn't see her until late in the day, when i walked over to her locker. When she saw me i think she got nervous cause she starting having lot of trouble with her locker, and we talked a little bit like normal.
I still really like her and i want to ask her out before break starts next week, so what are her current feelings with me and how do i act around her the next few days?

Okay so I got this girl that I have been crushing on since last year. We are good friends and we know each other a lot right now. I am also friends with her friends and her friends are shipping us together. I opened up my feelings to her last month and she said that she already knew that haha. While we were talking to each other we are not that awkward. She also said that I am focusing on my studies right now. (Btw she is so smart) after that she said that " I got this guy that I have been crushing on. But please do not feel down about that because you are a good friend to me." I said that I respect her decision and asked her if I could wait and could also make efforts for her. She said "haha wow thats deep of course but please dont be so attached to me because you might hurt your feelings. And sure you can make efforts. But if you can't wait; you can also find another girls out there. You are not rejected okay." Then I said I am willing to wait for you even if it would take me years of waiting. SO MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I WAIT FOR HER OR JUST GIVE UP? I GOT FRIENDZONED BUT WE WERE NOT AWKWARD AFTERWARDS. (Btw her crush is not that close to her)
