"Actually, I'm staying here this afternoon. I'm going to plant flowers where the broccoli used to be. Do you want to help me?"

"Then I'll see you over there." She leaves with a big smile on her face.

I swear, I can't figure her out. She wants to spend time with me but she doesn't want to date me. She says she loves me but won't commit to being in a relationship with me.

I've been trying to stay positive, but I'm starting to think this summer isn't going to end well.
