<human>: So I have known a girl for about a year or so, and we're friends, we have some common interests (i.e clubs/classes) and I need to know where to go from here. I sit next to her in one of my classes, we talk and laugh a lot, and the person who starts the conversation is pretty 50/50. Last year we didn't talk too much, but when I did talk to her she would laugh quite a bit, so I've had my suspicions.

Now earlier this year in one of the clubs we're in, I was talking to one of her friends. She points out to me that she was single, unlike most of the people in the club. I made sure to take note of that, but then later on that day her friend asks me if I like anyone. To make sure I wasn't getting the wrong idea or anything, I told her I didn't know. This didn't really do much because she just took that as a "Yeah, i do."

I haven't dated like at all, and I really need help with this girl, we share the same religion, and both take interest in similar things. I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has!

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: I've known a girl for about a year, we take interest in similar things, her friend has been hinting to me, what should I do?
