Oh god, how I hate that "friend" crap. I don't want another freaking friend! Jeebus, why don't they understand?! :$
she might like you? girls think obsessively (atleast my friends and i do) about making sure we don't make outselves look like asses in front of guys. maybe she's trying to hint around that she likes you, she's just not ready to come out and say it. i've done that. or she could just wanna be a friend :H
