Help with Relationships Thread

[Ultimate Steve]

So, it's been a while since this thread has been a thing, but I have now had a second relationship. It was not a great experience, but I learned from it.

So, why I'm here... I'm really confused to this one girl's level of interest in me. She asked me to ask her to prom (she's a sophomore so she can't ask me directly) via a note, but since then not much has happened. We hung out once (with other people, completely ran into her by chance) and we've talked lots, and once someone asked if we were together and she said no (which could either mean nothing has happened yet or the whole thing is a friendship, it's decently common to go to prom as friends here) and proceeded to either kiss or fake-kiss (couldn't tell from my angle) the person who asked that on the cheek as a joke (he's very gay and also her friend). Since then we have continued to talk and we compared our semester 2 schedules and we were both glad that we share some classes.

I don't think it's been long enough to determine, and I don't know if I can determine this any other way then just plain up asking her, but I'm confused as to whether she likes me likes me, or just as a friend. TBH I would be fine with either. Thoughts?

Oh, wait, this is the KSP forum... To quote my past self, from December 17 2017, on page 4,

A bunch of nerds with no social life trying to give advice to one another about how to have a social life?

To be honest, you beat me to revive it (well, it's about 72 hours now that I'm thinking about posting here or not...)

Are you sure that there would not be an option that you would prefer...

You've got that right, but if it doesn't work out or she's not interested I'd still be absolutely thrilled to have another friend.

If the advice of another socially sheltered individual probably around your age with less experience means anything, I would personally just try asking a bit bluntly? From the things you've described it doesn't quite scream that she likes you or whatever since the things described seem like general friend things to do. If she was making special preference to go out of her way to talk or something maybe I'd set your chances higher? I don't think it would be too horrible to ask to just clear it up before it goes too long. Could ask soon or could just ask in a little while (like....2 weeks maybe?) to kinda ensure that this isn't just a short term friendship or something. I don't know honestly too well.
