answer:She’s finding you to be a liar … twice in one conversation. Not going too well for you right now. First off, you told her that “if I like a girl, I’ll tell her” … but you like her and you didn’t tell her. Second, you lied about playing a game as the reason for your delay, and she probably picked up on that in some way, which is why she left the conversation as she did. It doesn’t matter to us whether you like her or not or whether you tell her or not. But it should matter to you that you feel a certain way, and tell her how you will act if you feel that way … and then fail to follow up. “Honest” would be: “I don’t know how to respond”, which would start a, y’know, conversation. Lying is seldom a good way to start a conversation. You don’t have to like her; that’s a choice. If you like her, you don’t have to tell her, either; that’s another choice. But if you say how you will act if you like her and then fail to act that way – and take a long time admitting that – then she’s feeling the lie. What have you got to lose by telling her that you like her “more than as a friend” if that’s true? Well, you could make yourself vulnerable, for sure. She likes you. It’s up to you whether or not to follow up on that, and how you do that. But if you don’t know that she likes you, then you’re probably not mature enough to be out of the house alone and talking to girls in the first place.
