Confused by Cancer Teen

I'll try and summarize this a lot:

Started talking to a CANCER girl who loves videogames and anime at the start of September over text. Kept inviting her out like 4-5 times and she kept flaking, saying she had homework to do, etc. We were about to meet when suddenly a guy coincidentally approached her that day. I know she met up with him the next day but have no idea if she is seeing him or what. I don't mention him because that would be insecure. When I mentioned that I wanted to get to know her better and that's why I was inviting her out, she said 'i don't want to ruin the friendship' and apologized a few times. I was about to walk away because it was like 5 weeks of talking to her every few days.

She finally wanted to meet last Thursday but I had to decline because I had to work an evening shift. I counteroffered, saying I wanted to meet Friday. I texted her just asking how she was that day and she was super direct, asking whether I was at the college. I said I was and she said she is on her way and we finally met. She blushed around me and seems interested and twirled her hair around but very, very shy! Unbelievably shy, even. We chilled with her and my friend for about 40 minutes but she had work to do and I had things to do with my male buddy.

I have talked about hanging out with her on Tuesday and offered to help her with her homework assignment. I am a PISCES male and find her very attractive.

How do I know if she has changed her mind? If she doesn't flake this time? She texts me every once in a while but isn't blowing up my phone exactly.

I mean if you ask her out that many times and she kept rejecting you, you might as well as give up because it sounds like excuses at this rate on her side.

They were excuses but if you read my OP she wanted to meet up last Thursday and we finally met on Friday.

Now we are tentatively meeting up on Tuesday.

This feels like it's straight out of the Q&A section of Bravo
