Am I in love with her or is it something else?
Ok so I am a 16 year old girl. I live in a small town and I used to be really shy. I never really talked to anyone. But a few years ago at school I started talking to these girls who I really got along with. We continued talking up for a few years but haven't talked much in the last year because I am getting home schooled. One of the girls I started talking to I really started to like. She was very funny and smart and I thought she was cute though she wasn't skinny. I am not skinny either. Over that summer she lost a lot of weight and I didn't see her until the next year. I was surprised that she looked like she did. Very slim and tan and very beautiful. I was attracted to her more then before but I had never told her I liked her. Half way through the school year I wound up telling her that I liked her.I told her over the computer. It wasn't suppose to happen. I wasn't planning on telling her and I am glad that I did. She talked to me after that and we hung out and nothing was weird between us. She flirted with me and I was happy about it but she never told me she liked me until one day she almost did. She said everything BUT I like you. Even one of her friends said it sounded like she did. But nothing ever came of it. Its been a almost a year now (11 months) since I have really talked to her. I still think about her everyday and I can't stop. She came to see me the other day but didn't stay long but just seeing her made me happy all week. I just don't know why I still feel like I love her. So my question is, its been so long and I still feel this way, does that mean that I am in love. Or is it something else.
