<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

So I met her around the start of July, we became close friends quite fast due to similar interests and sense of humour and i fell for her. Skip forward to about mid/late august, i tell her how i feel. Its not reciprocated but we remain close friends. I know, bad mistake on my part in most cases.

Anyway, turns out she actually had a guy she talked to online that she was 'in love' with. The same day i confessed i liked her, he told her he didn't love her. I didn't realize at the time how serious she was with this internet guy.

But skip forward to about a week ago, we're on the phone and she tells me she thinks she's falling for me, because of signal issues we text after this and she ends up saying she doesn't want to fall for me and doesn't want a relationship, this conversation ends quite indecisively because she fell asleep, but essentially she's scared of an actual relationship.

The next day I message her and tell her we need to meet up and talk, she's sick with the cold but agrees anyway, comes round, and the first thing she does is hug me and ask me to be her boyfriend, a little silly but i say yes and am happy. Fast forward 5 minutes and once again shes backtracked telling me she doesn't love me in that kind of way yet, but essentially she tells me she wants to continue being friends, and if she gets romantic feelings she won't be afraid of a relationship. (Previously she apparently repressed any notions or feelings she might have had).

This has all been pissing me off recently, being so back and forth, and i guess its partly my fault for sticking around like this but i do like her a lot, even as a friend. Not to mention she seems distant at times, and very lively and energetic at others for no apparent reason.

I suppose I'm really just asking for thoughts on the situation, does she like me and is genuinely frightened of a relationship or is she doing a bad job of sparing my feelings? Neither of us have actually had a real relationship before and are both virgins, so maybe that would come into it?
<bot>: friend that i have feelings for is very back and forth on the level of affection she has for me and I'm not sure how to take it.
