Hon?, you better give a second thought before you try advancing. If you cherish those hands or lips of yours, think whether you are willing to see them disappear. :Q LOL! Seriously though, stop the hallucination. You?ll see what your mind wants to see.
Can a girl get touchy? Yes, she can. She very much can, so stop reading too much into it. Even if all you said were true, either she's weird or that is her nature and you're reading too much into it. I refuse to believe that she's so childish that she can't be straight-forward with you if she wanted something from you when you've already made clear that you're interested in her. Hence, I conclude that you?re reading too much into it. Could she possibly have feelings for you? Yes. But does that give you the licence to touch her? No. A girl having feelings for a guy is not to be equated with that. It?s one thing if you never told her that you liked her, but it's another when you?ve actually told her that you like her.
Don't ignore what she said:
"there's this girl that i like and she knows how i feel about her... i asked her if she wanted to try out our relationship and she said that something was preventing her, which is she wants to find herself or be alone for now."
If she were so sure of you, she would never give any excuses. She's truly trying to find herself. Don't make any advances, as that would constitute harassment. I'm sure she likes your company and probably has some kind of feeling toward you, but to her that does not translate to being a bf/gf or making advances. She probably wants to be your friend and enjoy that flirting.
Remind me when next meeting with male friends to rid myself of the innocent touches, be very cautious and never touch them, as some of them might read into it and feel that gives them the ticket to make advances.
If you love yourself, don't ever mess with a woman/girl who clearly states that she wants her moment alone to find herself. Basically, it's a subtle way of saying, "I like you, but just as a friend, for you have not successfully convinced me that I should sacrifice my independence or freedom for a relationship with you in particular."
