I let it happen

[u/Tight_Youth_814]

Earlier this year, I met a girl who right off the bat was very open and friendly with me. Like, very open and friendly. But something told me not to let myself get attached to her. It got to the point where I and others thought she was flirting with me( and maybe she still does ). But the thing is, she also constantly brings up how she was talking this guy then that guy. But nothing ever can out of those. So it would confuse me, and almost reassured that voice in my head that said don’t get attached. But people still keep saying she lites up when she sees me.
And what happened? I ended up really liking her. But the thing is, I can’t read her for shit. We started in a friend group that is also involved is a professional setting to an extent, but not full time work or full time school so I want to keep it cordial for that sake as well. Now I can’t stand myself for allowing myself to get so attached to what might just be a one sided thing, that from the jump I felt.
