UPDATE2: Ahhh, life is good. We went out twice last weekend. Things went great - we can and do talk endlessly. Also, we've become very obvious with each other that we are interested in one another as more than friends. I'm thinking I might bring that up this weekend. Heh - speaking of this weekend, I should talk to her tomorrow and figure out exactly what we are doing. Oh yes, and she asked about 'Jane' - that she's been meaning to ask if 'Jane' and I were anything. I think I handled it well, I said something like:
No, we're not - i don't know where people got that idea. Well, I do, because we are seen in the halls a few times a day, but we're just friends.
And she said, 'good, I just wanted to be sure. I don't like the whole backstabbing thing - I've been on both ends and it's not fun.'
'Jane' and I have kinda simmered our friendship a bit, which is fine by me, it was getting to be a bit much...it kinda weirded me out when she would practically stalk me between classes...
Anyway, 'the other girl' rocks - couldn't be happier and 'Jane' and I are still friends - oh, and she hasn't mentioned anything about it - I don't think she will at this point.
