Feeling/Crush/Relationship question?

So I got a text from a friend who's good friends with this girl, and she asked if I liked her.

I told her I think the girl she is talking about is very pretty and is fun to be around. Problem is, I got out of a relationship on Valentines Day several months ago with someone else and I am kind of scared to have feelings, if that makes sense. Then she texted back and said that she was confused about her feelings too. My question is: should I bring our feelings up to her (the actual girl my friend is talking about), or should I just keep a low profile and see what happens. Like I just want to know if it's normal to talk to her about this or if it's something like "secret," that shouldn't be mentioned to her.

Thanks for the help

Update:

the line where it says "she texted back and she said that she was confused about her feelings too." that's my friend texting about the actual girl's feelings.

    I think it would be better if you talked to this girl directly, instead of having your friend in the middle. For obvious reasons, you don't know if your friend is properly relaying the meanings and intentions of what is said by each of you, and if you really want to clear up any confusion, the best way is to speak to each other directly.

    I understand that you're scared to have feelings, it's normal after a rough breakup because you're scared that if you let yourself have feelings, you'll wind up getting hurt again. But this is part of the relationship process; you have to let yourself be vulnerable but take risks in the hopes that it will work out and be something positive in your life.

    So yeah, I suggest you speak to the girl directly instead of having your friend be the middle man... Or I should say, middle woman, as she's a girl. :P You'll be able to better work things out with the girl if you talk to her personally, and you'll find out where you both stand and where you guys want to go from there.
