I've already hung out with her a few times this semester, and like I said before each time I like her more and more and more. I always tease her practically nonstop and she knows I'm always kidding with her when I do, and then she teases me back. But when I talk to her we are always really into what  the other person is saying. Yesterday I went out to dinner with a bunch of her friends and stuff, and she sort of focuses her attention on me (could've just been cause I really didn't know the others that well). Then later we watched a movie last night (separate couches though...) and whenever there were funny scenes and stuff, shed look over at me and I'd look at her and we'd just smile at each other/laugh.

Whenever I'm around her though she always brings up the subject of boyfriends too. I don't know if that's just a signal to me or if I'm just such a good friend she likes to tell me these things?  But like yesterday she was talking about these guys who always drink and she was like I mean I wouldn't be interested in any of them (she rarely drinks and I never do). And another time she was wondering what her parents would think if she told them she was dating cause they're really strict about that kinda of stuff.

Then last night she got a call from this guy Eric who I also believe may be taking quite the interest in her. After she hung up she was like "geez that was my drunk friend asking me if he wanted to hang out. I told him I'd call him later, but that's not going to happen haha".

So I pretty much just either need an opinion or just a confidence booster telling me to go for this girl. Shes one of the best female friends I have, but we really could be so much more. And does this talk of boyfriends mean anything? And if I do go for her, how should I go about getting it across I like her, especially before this Eric guy beats me to it!!!
