We are starting to get close...

This girl that I really like and have just within the last few months have become friends is now starting to talk to me about things she doesn't say to many people, if any, like her family issues and how she is not feeling as loved as she used to by people and she is starting to think she is unwanted and she hasn't talked to any other people besides me about this and I'm not sure if this means that she may like me or feel comfortable and trustworthy of me or if she is just dropping an emotional load on me because she needs to tell some one and doesn't think I'll tell people. Our relationship is now at playful hitting, hanging out together, and talking a lot, pretty much whenever we can. Sometimes if we don't talk even if its only a day I really start to miss her and I was in quite a depression just before thinking about suicide that she took me out of. We are GREAT friends at minimum and I really would like some input on:

If she likes me?
What you would call our relationship?
And do you think I may love her or something close to that?

It's really hard for us to answer these questions for you. As for her liking you: I do not know. It seems like the relationship that you have with this girl is a great bond: you seem to share some personal things with each other. There is an apparent trustworthy connection between each other. As for her liking you as the boyfriend type, I can't answer this.

I would call your relationship: close friends? As you've mentioned, she shares things with you that she may not share with just anyone. Her connection to you -in my opinion- is not just unloading all of her emotional problems on you; however, I do feel that everyone needs a source to vent to. I feel that unconsciously or consciously there is more of a connection than just her wanting to "vent" to you, she obviously relays a sense of trust and emotional connection with you.

As for loving her, love is an undefined word to everyone. There is no set definition for that kind of emotion. I believe that you would or will know when you love someone. It's the type of feeling you won't be able to express with words or actions alone. Many of us try to define love; it just never happen: not money, words, nor actions alone.

Overall, I would say you both have a deeper connection than an acquaintances or someone to simply confide in. Many "best friend" type of relationships won't risk what they have, simply because they are "too" best of friends: they don't want to risk being closer than that because normally when people break up, they cut communication; unless, there an underlying reason (divorce->children) or maybe because it's mutual. In the end, I wish you the best. Feel free to PM me if you have further questions regarding anything.

Its really... a complicated situation here. She may act more like this with you because you make her feel comfortable. But since she is having problems at home, i suspect that its more like "she loves you like a brother" at least for now. You shouldnt jump when the girl is obviously vulnerable and open and feeling hurt enough as is. If she were to be in a gf/bf relationship with you, itd be because of the "OH MY HERO!!!" kinda thing not "I like you for you"
I think for now, you should be her best friend and continue this because she may start to develop feelings or even feelings she'd act on once she feels fully confortable with you and she is able to have a relationship with you and not drag it along with every little problems she has. Let her control when the love between you two takes another step.
