Your buddies say she is into you. Her standoffishness doesn’t necessarily contradict that. She might figure that she has already given you signals, such as the laughing. What signals have you given her? Could it be that she is standoffish because she is waiting for some reciprocity? And the weird tension: Same thing. Could it be that there is tension because what “should” be said on your part isn’t being said?
Thank you again, you make great points. I think you're right and have come as close to a definitive "answer" as I'm going to get without making additional moves.

I don't know how I would go about talking about my sexuality or desire for a relationship without explicitly telling her my feelings. But maybe that's what needs to happen, even if it seems overt? I have no doubt that I haven't reciprocated in kind. Hope it isn't too late and she hasn't given up on whatever feelings she may have had in the past.
Thanks for this!
