So this girl was in my class last year we were good friends and we would call and talk all the time at first I didn't like her. I also told her who I liked and it was never her until I slowly fell in love with her then asked her out. She said we can give it a try awkwardly and then I said or we can just be friends. So we stayed friends we talked less each time we did it was a bit awkward she even told her dad I liked her. Then one say I called or boring on call and we stopped calling that was like 4 months ago we still talk in school a lot more each time she sees me she'll come up and say hi and we'll talk we walked to school together and sometimes she teases about liking her. We're still good friends she calls me one of her best friends she always come to me for help. Most of the time I'm stil in love with her so I always help her usually after a girl rejects me I just move on but I really love her. Recently each time she sees me she'll like poke my arm or chest and try starting conversations with me I'm trying to move on but she makes me fall in love again do easily. She said herself a couple months ago she doesn't like me like like like me. Each time we talk in the night and we're done she'll says ILY goodnight and get mad when I don't say it back now she says I love you good night all typed out she's been doing it a lot recently and I reposted a video on tiktok that said I miss talking to the girl I always talked to she saw the repost and has been more friendly and closer to me recently and during class a couple weeks ago I had a green wristband she asked if she could have it and 2 days later she ran up to me like look spade look in wearing your bracelet and she keeps poking and touching me more and touching my hair sometimes I have stuff in my hair and she just like grabs it out and today during class she was sitting in front of me and wraps both of her legs around my right leg and when I tried getting up she kept staring at me I just don't if she likes me

I finally met a woman who makes me feel comfortable and had an instant connection with. But from the start, she has said I am not the type of man she wants, although the lines have blurred at times with things she has asked. I didn't want to hear it because I like her so much, but I figured I'd rather have her as a friend than not at all because we get on so well.

Things started slow but grew to where we were talking for hours every day. This is not like me, I don't talk to anyone, but with her it feels natural. even the pauses felt comfortable. I have never got on with anyone like her. I know it's not alpha, but I like the support we give each other.

Our relationship has been purely phone-based for a year because we live apart and neither of us tried to change that until a couple of weeks ago.
The day started great, she text me first, and later she called. It was our best chat yet. 2 hours into the call and I mentioned I was going to be in her town soon, so I suggested we should hang out or get lunch. She reacted badly and we had our first disagreement. She said meeting once would change nothing. The call ended awkwardly. A couple of days later she called me, and I apologised for putting her on the spot, she said I upset her but she upset herself too. I asked if we were OK and she said yes. That call was short but still awkward. We went from talking every day to nothing for 2 weeks which has made me soo down because I felt like I lost my best friend, but yesterday she called me out the blue and was talking like she used to. she sent a couple of texts which had her playfulness back too. The calls were short as I was at work and couldn't talk, but I text her at the end of the day and she didn't respond. I text her again today and she replied with a single word and a smiley emoji

What does she want?
Why react negatively to an innocent invite?
Is the friendship over?
Why start communicating again, but later fail to reply to my texts?
How should I move forward?
