Interesting Story: Friends or a little more than friends?

Hello everyone. I’ll get straight to the point, I live in a cul de sac, townhouse development, and in my neighborhood is a girl same age as me, 17 and we’ve known each other since we were maybe 5. We haven’t talked since middle school, I go to a private school, she goes to a public school, but not too long ago I decided to snap her and we instantly hit it off, went to Starbucks, Ice cream the whole nine yards.

Then I asked her to prom and we went to prom together had a good time and everything, all good. The thing is before we were kind of just friends as little kids, but now I’m starting to feel something mutual as if we are a bit more than that, but the good old catch, don’t know if the other side thinks similarly. We text often and like I mentioned earlier everything goes smoothly every time I don’t even have to think or hesitate when we talk everything is natural.

It’s tough to make the call from behind a screen but do you think we are friends or maybe a little more? I’m trying to figure out signs from the girl but I can’t really make them out, it’s kind of half and half. Some days I feel like we are friends and then others I feel like the girl tries to impress me, hard to make out. Every snap every text I send is returned pretty quickly, but it’s tough to compliment each other cause we still can’t break out of the old times it seems that way. Very long story but I find it very interesting. Thank you very much for reading in full and put your opinions below!
