Do I Still Have a Chance with Her?

This one is kinda loong

So, I seen this girl working in a department store and gave her my number because she looked cute and I noticed that she was checking me out big time. (She worked in cosmetics and handed out the cologne cards… I wrote my number on the card after asking her for a pen .. ) She ended up texting me the next day. We texted a few days and talked on the phone once.

We ended up going out that Friday night. Met up at around 7pm. She seemed like she was really interested in me. We talked in Peter Pipers until we were the only one's there. She even invited me into her car to listen to music together. *Nothing happened, just chilling*

I didnt do anything out of the way. She only went home because her mother said that she needed her there. She walked me back to my car, which was parked right next to her's. We shared a warm hug. With her still in my arms, I asked if I could see her again.. She replied, "absolutely".. I didn't kiss her. Date ended at about 1:30am the next day.

We went out again, the week after, on a Saturday.. For some reason, she seemed waay different, like she was completely opposed to me touching her, and she wasn't as into the conversations. During the date, we shared some fries at a nearby restaurant while we waited on our movie to start. I decided to share with her things about my personal life, including the fact that I've never been in a "real relationship". At the end of the night, I dropped her off and walked her to her door. We hugged, then I foolishly tried to kiss her. She backed off.

I asked, "Not interested?" She said, "Its not that. But I don't want you to feel rejected".. So i smiled and asked for another hug, then left.

(Oh, I forgot to mention: I drove 30 minutes to her house in the rain, picked her up, drove 20 minutes to the movie, another 20min to drop her off home, and 30min to get back to my house..)

Monday night, I text her and apologized for trying to kiss her and that "everything else I did, I felt was right."

She said that she didnt kiss me because she didnt want to "lead me on" and that she appreciated everything I did that night and I was a "true gentlemen".

I asked if I could at the very least be her friend because I kind of looked up to her in a way.
She said that friends is great, and asked how I look up to her.

The compliments I gave were, "independent, hard working, self motivated, and accomplished". (Yes, I meant every word of it.) And told her good night.
She replied with a "wow thank you. I'm glad we are friends, good night."

I totally like her as a person, but at the same time, Im VERY attracted to her because she has the looks and personality that I look for in a girl.. And for me, thats hard to come by.

I'm wondering if I still have a chance with her? (should I chase?).. Or just accept the fact that its only a dream? Whats my next move???

your relationship is complex like your story, come out side from this forest of worries
