Okay, I met a girl about 2 months ago and we hit it off almost right away. We had a lot in common and we called each other and hung out a lot, going to movies and meeting each others friends to hang out and whatnot. I even met her parents. I was nervous to tell this girl I was interested in her romantically at first because I really liked her and didn't want to be too forward and ruin my chances. In the first month after I met her, even my friends were telling me that they thought she liked me, but like a fool I still did nothing. We were just "friends." Now I realize that she probably was interested in me! She would sit really close to me so that we were touching constantly and was flirting with me a lot, I was just too incredibly dense to see it until now in retrospect. To illustrate how big of an idiot of I am, she actually ASKED me and just me to come over to her house one day but I had to go to work in a few hours and was somewhat tired and needed a nap, so I declined her invitation. So she practically BEGGED me to come over and go swimming and to just be with her! I could have and easily skipped out on a nap and gone, but I for some strange reason that even I don't understand, I still said no and went home. Instead of taking a nap, I just layed there thinking about her and how stupid I was not to go over there. I even realized that I liked her and she liked me, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized just how much I liked her. Then, there was a hurricane where we live so we both had to evacuate to different cities. I called her almost everyday the two weeks we were apart and she seemed just as interested as ever. I met up with her the first night I was back and I still couldn't bring myself to tell her how I really felt. Finally, after we hung out that night, I dropped her off. She was very nice the entire night until the end of the night when she got out of my car. All of the sudden she seemed very cold and almost mad at me. (Now I realize she was probably mad because I never showed too much interest) I'm so stupid. It's been about two days since this has happened and we've talked, and I've tried to meet with her to try and tell her but she has been saying that she has other things to do. I'm so stupid! Her interest in me seems to be completely gone now over the span of like 2 days because I did not show interest in her! I feel like an idiot because I never told her how I feel, and I can't stop thinking about her. I'm afraid my window of opportunity is gone to tell her how I feel. So if you've actually bothered reading all of this, my questions are:
Do you think she is still interested in me romantically and just acting cold because I haven't showed romantic interest in her or made a move yet? Do you think if I finally tell her that I am interested in her that her interest in me will come back? If yes, how should I go about telling her this? The other thing is I like her a lot as a friend too, and if there is a chance she is not interested, I don't want our friendship to be ruined (very cliche I know, but true) because it is awkward for her to be with me. I know this is confusing and long but please give me some advice. I'm desperate!
