Well yesterday, after I hadn't seen her for like a week, she invited me to go to a party with her and a few of her friends, which I did. We all had some drinks and what not, but one of her friends had too much to drink so I had to help the girl I'm interested in and the guy who was dancing with her friend walk the friend to her dorm. She brought her friend up to take care of her on her own (I asked several times and she insisted that she could) and I waited downstairs for about 20 minutes. Finally, she came back down and said she still wanted to dance and wanted to go back to the party. She had been getting sort of close with wrapping her arm around me while we were helping her friend, so I thought this was code for wanting to hook up with me or something. Well we went back, and then a guy started dancing with her and they were both pretty into it. Naturally I wasn't gonna let some fratty jerk steal this girl, so I gestured for her to come back and she did very willingly. Then I tried to dance with her, to which she insisted that she would only dance with strangers, not friends (=/) and then when I still tried, she asked "is that the only reason you waited for me." So went to a room where the music was much quieter and talked about it, I reassured that I waited because I wanted to make sure she and her friend were okay (this is true; I'm not a douche) and we walked back from the party. We talked about *stuff* the whole time, during which she talked about how upset she was for dancing with that frat guy like she did because she is a self-avowed prude (she was really worried, like asking if she should stop going out and if she was actually a whore, which of course I assured her she wasn't), she said she didn't wanna go on dates or anything like that yet with anyone because she didn't want a boyfriend 2 weeks into freshman year (very reasonable), and I did tell her that I really like her, find her really pretty, and think that she's just a cool and awesome girl.
She didn't get freaked out or anything and said that she actually owes me dinner or something ("*but not a date, just as friends* haha") for helping her out with her friend's (and her own) drunkenness (although she was nearly sober by the time we walked back).
So how can I get out of this friend zone? I still think there is a great deal of hope because she wasn't freaked out when I told her that I liked her and what not. What do y'all think?
PS sorry for this really long question haha just wanted to be thorough
And oh yes to clarify I told her how I felt before she said she didn't want a boyfriend right now.
