Is it normal to think she is using me?
I am friends with this girl, I try to make her feel good and comfortable around me, we have great conversations, and I even bought her a few nice gifts. I am really attracted to her and she knows it. She always tells me about her boyfriend and one time they had a fight and she was really upset and I let her cry on my shoulder and then we cuddled. I let her know I am available to offer support whenever she needs it. Right around that time she had the fight with her boyfriend, I asked her if he was treating her right and if not then she should find a better guy. She replied that even though she was upset, she was confident that things would eventually work out between them. I am a virgin and I really want to date her, and sometimes I feel that she likes me as more than a friend. She is really herself around me but I get the impression that she is kind of intimidated by her boyfriend. I don't know why she prefers him over me if he keeps treating her bad. Me and her we have a great emotional connection better than anything she has with him. I think she just enjoys my company and playful flirting and keeping me around forever.
