Advice please...

I'm 18 and she's 16, we met as she's my mate's sister. We have similar interests and get on really well.

I invited her to an event in March as a friend and she really enjoyed my company and we started texting occasionally. About 5 weeks ago we started hanging out and texting a little. We've been on 3 days out now together, and she seems to be enjoying my company. We hug and we've snuggled and held each others hands whilst chilling at her house and whilst at the beach yesterday. As I said we went out yesterday and she was suggesting places we could go out next, which is a good sign.

I'm sure she likes me as more than a friend because otherwise she wouldn't want me holding her hand and spending the day with me, right?

I'm not sure how often I should be texting her in between seeing her, I don't want to seem clingy, and scare her off but I also want to seem interested? Last week for example, took ages to reply to several texts and didn't reply at all when I a good morning text, which kinda put me off, but she's not the sort of girl who's always on her phone.

Any advice would be appreciated?

As you can probably guess I'm not always the most outgoing person and kinda struggling to believe I'm good enough for her which is probably holding me back? I've never had a girl friend and before this girl I only went on 1 date so we're both very inexperienced.

She definitely likes you as more than a friend. Like you dont hold hands at someones house if youre just a friend. Maybe outside if youre joking on with mates but its not a joke if its just you and her.

I reckon you should just bring it up with her, doesnt really matter how just be easy and comfortable and that. The phone thing doesnt matter mate, i know a load of mates who dont reply if they dont see a message until a couple hours later. Its proper annoying but it doesnt mean nothing. Keep seeing her because i think youve definitely pulled imo

eh not answering texts and stuff is not a big deal man. if you want, maybe talk to her about how you are feeling just to see where she thinks it might be going

I definitely think she likes you more than a friend, otherwise she wouldn't let you hold her hand would she?

Replying to texts quickly is no big deal, I often don't reply quickly either...

Maybe you should try spending an evening together and have a deep conversation about how you both feel idk?

Talked to her, turns out she thinks of me as a friend, nothing more she's not wanting a relationship at the moment.

I accept this totally, and I still want to keep our friendship up as we get on so well. I'm pretty much over it already as I doubted she liked me anyway due to the mixed messages so i knew it deep down so it hasn't been too hard.

How can I make sure we keep our friendship up and it doesn't turn awkward?

Ok why are you now on a 3 year old account thats different?

Yeah i would personally just joke saying that she likes me as more than a friend and stuff, but i dont know what your personality is like so i dont know if that would work for you.
See like i get out of awkward situations by acting big headed as a joke but you need to appear confident so if you can do that youre sorted

Just noticed that, it must have been one I made a while ago and forgotton about. Probably a rule against that but an honest mistake...
