A while back, a girl from my college asked for help with her career because she was just starting out, and I had been working for a bit longer. Even though we didn’t really talk much in college, I decided to help her since she seemed interested in learning.

After a few weeks, we found out we live near each other, and she wanted to meet up to say thanks. We ended up chatting about everything except work, and I started to see her as just another friend.

But then she kept wanting to meet up again. She even asked me to brunch once, but I couldn’t go. Still, she didn’t give up and even gave me a gift to say thanks, even though I didn’t think I did much to help her.

After our second meeting, we didn’t talk for a while. Then she reached out again and suggested meeting up for a third time, which we did yesterday. We talked for hours about personal stuff like family, work, and even marriage, and she seemed really happy.

Even though she has other friends, she seems keen to hang out with me. But we never talk about work stuff, which makes me wonder if she just wants to be friends or if there’s something more going on.

Now, I’m not sure what she wants from me. Is she looking for friendship, or is there something else going on? I’m confused about her intentions and need advice on what to do next.
