Told I girl I liked her, regretting it...What do I do? -- LiveWire College Forums

So about 9 months ago, I became really good friends with this one girl. We went to the same high school and I saw her all the time but we never talked or anything. Then all of a sudden, I become very good friends with her. It was like overnight. We started hanging out all the time, literally. Not just us two though, other people were there. I basically fell for her like the day we became friends. I never told anyone I did though. I tried to drop hints here and there to her but idk if it worked or not. Sometimes she would say/do things that gave me the impression that she may be interested in me but I'm afraid it was just me wishing. Some of my guy friends thought she was just pretending to be my friend cause she had no one else but she had a bunch of people from her church that she could have hung out with but she never did. They reamed me for hanging out with her but I always defended her regardless of what they thought. I told her all this too and she was really pissed that they thought that and she thanked me for sticking up for her and everything.

I tried to be a good friend too. She opened up to me about a past boyfriend that she never talked about, even to her closest girl friend (that friend told me that). Her friend (who I was good friends with as well) told me that I was "special" (not sure what that meant) cause I was the only person she talked with that about. She knew she could trust me and all that.

We went to the same college but she went up a week early to rush for sorority. The last time we got to hang out before that went very well i thought. There was 4 of us laying outside watching a meteor shower but towards the end, it might as well have only been the two of us. We were talking and kinda touching each other hands. She was poking/tickling me. All in all, it was a great night.

So college rolls around. I text her all the time at first but I feel like I'm just bothering her. She explains that she feels guilty that she can't hang out when I ask (how should I take that?). I realize that she is very busy with school, sorority and some Christian organization. But she seems like always can make time for her church friends that she knew before college, most of which are guys. I really dont know though so i could be mistaken on that.

So I figure, what the hell? I'm gonna tell her how I feel. So I do. I'm not dramatic, I dont make a big deal out of it. I tell her I realize she doesn't feel the same about me and she says that she doesn't feel that way about anyone right now (I knew she didn't want a relationship then). Its a quick 3 minute convo and then we eat lunch together and that goes fine.

Then I basically stop hanging out or talking to her. I have no idea what happened. That night, though, she did change her Facebook status to a smiley face so that gave me some hope lol. I'm afraid I scared her off or something. She invites me to a thing for that christian organization a couple times and I go. Sometimes I dont even get to sit by her though. Last week, I did though and it went well. We talked and laughed and it was like high school again. havent really talked much since then and that was last tuesday.

What should I do? What do you guys think? I haven't really been trying to get into contact with her, thinking she wants space and all that and I don't want to appear desperate. I'm gonna see and if she contacts me about the christian thing this Tuesday. Sorry for the wall of text.
