"I don't know if I'm into my female friends or not. I know I don't have big crushes on any of them, but getting out of my comfort zone and talking to them more often is getting me closer than I used to be, and I don't know how to feel about that.

Context: I've been regaining my social abilities at school, so I've been talking to girls I'm familiar with. I've been texting them outside of school, and they’re all comfortable with long conversations we’re having. They are all really nice to me and I'm being way more down to earth with them.

How do I make sure they don't think I'm trying to hit on them? Is feeling confused on this a natural thought?"
