how shall I proceed?

alright, so here is the last month and a half compressed into one paragraph.

I moved from t-bay to timmins, and was forced to break up with my loving girlfriend. in timmins I became a lonner (no worries, im used to it, and actualy prefer to just blend in and go un noticed, rather then draw attention to myself) after about a month I started to crawl out of my cacoon and explore the social world around me. I met a bunch of people (maily younge women (I find the term “girls” degrading just as if someone where to call me a boy or a child so instead I use younge lady/women)) I met a girl named caitlyn in my ‘Introduction to anthropology” class. at first she seamed snobby and stuck up, so I paed her little attention. but it turned out she was just shy. soon we warmed to eachother. and the other day I found I could think of nothing but her. after long and carfull analisys of this peculiar symtom I came to the conclution that I must be falling for her. and so I looked more deeply into her, asking her as many questions as I could, and it didnt take long for her to say the words “oh, and my boyfriend…” and thus I gave up all hope of ever courting her. I was still friendly ofcourse, but friendly for the sake of friends, with no greater pourpose or direction other then that. now, today however, as she walked past me in the morning, she gave me a light touch on the arm and muttered some sort of salutation I didnt catch- this seamed very odd, almost like flirting. and so I looker further into the issue and found that if she was not flirting, then she was paying an abnormaly large amount of attention to me for some reason. and so my hopes and desires concerning her where rekindled, but now caution hauts my foot steps, for I know somewhere out there is the mysterious ‘boyfriend’ and though I like to think im untouchable and can win over any girl by beating up their boyfriend, alas im not and I cant. I would love dearly to to love her, but I fear this is not possable. what do you think her signs ment, and how do you think I should proceed?

I crave your advice and council, and eagerly await your responces.
