My Dilemma:

Alright so there is this girl in my English class, i have known her since middle school but never really carried a full conversation with her. Until now. Worked my courage up and it worked out. ALSO our mutual friend told me that (without my knowledge) she just up and brought me up in a conversation of theirs (she's a pretty good friend of mine and also good at knowing when i am interested in a girl, shes like my wing man lol weird i know). Apparently my interest thinks i am funny and cute and nice.

Shes gorgeous, nice, a few inches taller than me lol like two or maybe a lil more but whatever, etc.

But here is the problem, she just got outta a relationship a few weeks ago and doesn't want to get into anything right now.

I understand what shes going through so i dont wanna rush anything.

Advice please!
