Some shy girl advice?

Beginning of this summer, I let this shy girl know that I liked her, wanted her number, and hopefully take her out sometime. She said she liked me as a friend and hoped to continue to be friends(don't have her number). I thought she liked me, but I suppose all those ';IOI's'; was just her trying to be friendly.





Since school started, she like looks away then looks back at me a few times, or she will stare at me when she thinks I don't see her, or when I'm near her she will start touching her hair and whatever. I think the most contact I've had with her this school year was when I smiled at her yesterday and she gave a ';sort of'; smile back. After that she would look at me quickly and touch her hair.





So do you think she really wanted to stay friends or is she just uncomfortable around me?Some shy girl advice?
Women often say things to be safe, and regret it later. It sounds like her IOI's are legit. Keep trying. Act like it doesn't affect you, and ask her ';so, are you ready to give me your number yet?';
