damn high shool relationships - they think they're sooooooo good

*sigh* so this is my problem.................

im a guy (and it gets worse) in year 11, and there's this girl. shes one of my best mates' ex, and she just told me that she likes me. thats not the problem, nor is it a problem that shes my best mates ex (i talked it over with him and hes really enthusiastic about us going out) the problem is that the same night she sent me an email that said she "said some stuff she didnt really mean" and ever since then shes been really indecisive about what she wants from me. ive seen her once since then and i was really going to tell her straight out that i wanted to go out with her, i dont want this to be some big dramatic thing. but as soon as i looked at her i just became completely tounge tied.

so im talking to her on MSN until i see her next but the problem there is that she acts just like normal and i really dont know what to do with her.

i havent been sleeping or eating normal for about a week and im sort of hoping that some more 'experienced' doper can help me out here. i know i like her but i dont know if she likes me and its driving me crrrrrrrrraaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyy.

Just freaking ASK. Mind-games are a hell of a lot more immature than mere confusion.

This may sound a bit harsh, so my apologies beforehand.

If this girl stated that she 'said some stuff I didn't mean', chances are she was referring to your chances with her. Indecisiveness is probably just her way of trying not to hurt your feelings by coming flatout and saying she doesn't want to date you after letting you think she did.

Admittedly, I am not omniscient, and could be wrong. Hamadryad is correct in saying that asking is the simplest and most mature way to deal with this. But I think the most likely explanation is that your girl dug herself a hole and is now trying to get out.
