<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I've been friends with this girl since about 4th grade, and we're both sophomores now. We're very very close, and 

always have a lot of fun together. Since about... December 2014, I guess, i've started thinking a little too hard 

about the nature of our relationship and how I feel about her. 

I haven't been able to get her out of my head and now I feel even more enamoured with her. I've started to 

imagine scenarios where we're together, nothing explicit but just cuddling, holding hands, stuff like that. 

We've exchanged 'I love you's but it was always in the context of friendship, but I've noticed lately I've been more 

tactile and she has been too, messing with my hair and leaning her head on my shoulder. She told me about how 

she was pansexual and genderfluid recently, and later told me I was the first one she told and that it was the 

easiest to tell me (which made me feel a bit proud, i've noticed I get a bit jealous too... oops). I get a little too 

excited when I talk to her, like I forget I should be talking to other people.

My mom has commented on it occasionally as well. Once I had something to say and she asked me if I "had a crush 

on her" which I said at the time I don't-- then later she said she might have a crush on me, which I said was not 

true at the time.

I don't know if I'm overanalysing the way she's acting as her returning my feelings or not, and I don't know if I'm 

being weird around her or not... it's been on my mind since december and I don't know if I should say anything 

because I don't want to risk our long-standing friendship.
