So I (17m) and this girl (18f) met roughly a year ago and became friends, long story short after a while I started getting feelings for her, and she confessed to me (after like a month or so) that she likes me aswell. We start "dating" (quotes because we never actually went out, broke teenager woohoo) and this lasts for roughly 2 weeks when my parents find out and force me to cut contact with her for 6 months. If you want a more detailed explanation of this part of the story, refer to my profile where I made a post on this sub when the incident first occurred.
in a tragic turn of events, roughly 2 months into going no contact with her, she sends me a text out of nowhere on discord (my parents had blocked her on everything else) and she states that she wants me to respect my parents wishes of not talking to her, and that she thinks we went a bit too fast, and that she's going to think about whether or not she likes me anymore (ouch)
It has now been almost 5 months since my parents have come to their senses and are letting me talk with her and text her again, and we've been staying friends. We play apex together sometimes, and we text almost every day, problem is, I have absolutely no idea if she still likes me or not. We don't have that many deep conversations like we used to, she's found herself a consistent friend group with other girls her age (when we first met she had just moved here and I was one of her only friends) and although we have kept a strong friendship, it feels like there's no chance she could still like me after so much time of not speaking.
(And this is a side note, but from what I've seen she's joined a local skit group, and she's befriended another guy in her skit team, and I think he might like her/she likes him, VERY VERY VERY speculative and I'm probably just overthinking/paranoid but its a detail and a concern nonetheless)
I'm too scared to flirt with her because I don't wanna risk her being mad at me, and for a while ive been fine with being friends, but over the past week or so my heart is just completely breaking, my mental state is declining, and all I can think about is just HER,
it got to the point where earlier today when I was playing apex with her, I was stumbling over my words and I could barely get a single thought out. I'm lovesick, im affection starved, and I need help.
So please people of reddit, give me some insight here. She used to like me alot, can that feeling go away so soon? Should I tell her I still feel the same even though we can't start officially dating yet. (Both of us too busy with senior year stuff)
if you guys need any clarification or any extra explaining in the comments I WILL respond and provide as much detail as I can, I need help here and I hope you guys can provide
I'm desperate here
