I love a woman I met last summer in a foreign country of our nationality. We were both on vacation. We moved back to our respective United States, and we're only two apart. We have maintained contact since last summer, talking in sprees and then stopping for a while. She is complimentary to me; the awkward girl version of my awkward self.

Once I said that what makes her happy makes me happy. She said she really appreciated that; however, whenever I say that she is cute, she doesn't acknowledge the compliment. She has referred to me as 'my friend' before and 'man' as though I was just a friend. She does not respond to my texts right away, and sometimes waits hours before responding. I know that I'm so in love with her that if she sent me a text I would read it right away; the only reason I might reply late like her is to not come off as desperate/make myself seem busy. I will think that she has forgotten about me and then randomly I'll get a message from her talking about something boring like her biology class - and it'll totally brighten my day. If she doesn't love me then she is definitely stringing me along. I've been wondering what she considers me as all the time. It is always on my mind - I can't get anything done without thinking about her.

Please help me find out what to do. I want to know if she loves me or not! I need to move on if not...I understand the rules are more lax on casual discourse's personal support than LWS's - but please understand you're fucking with my heart here...please don't do that.

Ask me any questions you'd like if it would help you come to a conclusion regarding my situation please.

Thanks
