<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I just recently moved from Texas to northern Virginia and I have already had one girlfriend and that relationship ended mutually quickly. But while dating I met one of her friends who happens to be in three of my classes, and we get along great we talk and flirt or at least what I think is flirting. But the friend just recently got cheated on by her now ex boyfriend and they broke things off with each other. Well I was there to comfort her and help with the situation. But for the past two weeks we have been getting along great and from the past relationship she knows how "sweet" I am by what I did for my ex and we have been flirting and getting even closer.

But a day after I moved here another kid from Texas moved to the same exact school and we all three have one class together. He is cool and we get along great and have now ended up being great friends because we had a similar situation of moving here. Well I have been texting the girl and every time we start to get into serious flirting or getting into a deep conversation she brings up the other guy. And almost all the time she says do you notice how all the girls in the class think he's so cute, which basically ruins the conversation because it then feels a bit akward for me. And I usually just respond with something like I don't think guys are cute but he has some good attributes I guess and I don't really like talking about it because I like the girl.

Well my question is, is this normal for girls to talk and become good friends, basically friendzone me and date the friend? Like is this something you girl redditors do? We get along great and I want us to be good friends bit I'm also hoping. I can have a good relationship with the girl in the sense of boyfriend and girlfriend.
<bot>: I am a guy who fell for a girl and we flirt but I'm not sure if she likes another guy and I'm wondering if this is like a playing hard to get technique?
