GIRLS: Do you think she now likes me? Please answer?

[Ellen]

It does sound like she has feelings for you. When a girl starts showing a special tenderness just for you... it means something. Is there a reason she might be avoiding relationships in general - ie she has been hurt before, or she is just afraid of being rushed into things she's not ready for(like physical intimacy)??
If there are close friends of hers that you talk to, who are giving you this information that she does like you, maybe they can help. If she's waiting and wishing for you to ask her out again, they are the ones who would know about it, and if they can verify that she has changed her mind, that will give you the confidence to ask her out again.
