Is she leading me on?

So there’s this girl I like and she knows how I feel but our situation is complicated cos her friend was close to me once and liked me.

Now since I’ve told this girl how I feel she said if something is meant to be it will be. But since then we’ve been talking a lot. I get the sense that she likes my company and finds me funny but I’m don’t know if she will ever feel the same as I do.

She always laughs with me, playfully hits me, we have even stayed up til 2am on the phone and text everyday.

She even told me that likes my company and hugs me which she never used to.

Thing is, now we’re still good friends but she knows how I feel and I try dropping subtle hints but idk what this means.
