Is she playing with my feelings?

Ok so I have a friend who's a girl, and I'm a boy. So we were texting at night, and the she suddenly asks me "Who do you like?" And I texted back saying "I beg your pardon? You mean what girl do I like?"And she texts back yes. And I said "Uh a girl who goes to our school." And that girl is her I really like her. And she texts back"Oh, no one really likes crying face emojis. And i texted back "Oh uh well I'm so sorry and sad to hear that. Nobody really likes me either." And she texts back"Somebody likes you." I was like confised and said "Who is it?", "Is it you or some one else?" "you like me don't you?" Hopon shed says yes and she texted back "Ok then I do like you, I just think that you're kinda cute." I said thanks your cute too and I admit it The girl I like is you! Blah blah blah blah sorry this is long. Please excuse any bad grammar i'm typing from an iphone. What does "kinda cute," mean? "Dpes she actually like me?" Please no rude answers. Please say your opinion.

She was trying to draw you out because she likes you. This is classic. I like you so much girl behavior.
Kind of cute means I'm downplaying how much I like you.

She is just playing. Not with your feelings. She has questions that are less embarrassing if she asks them the way she has been asking. She is doing the same thing that you are doing. Kinda cute means that she doesn't want to go overboard and sound like she is trying to over impress you. Stop playing the games now and start talking like better friends that aren't afraid to be honest. Obviously you are very young. Kinda cute makes you are respectable young man. Really cute make you a Ken doll that Barby plays with and is afraid of getting dirty or won't be able to do what a man can do. Very cute won't play hard sports like football or baseball. Kinda cute means handsome or good looking. Very cute makes you a toy that she can dress up like her favorite dolly. Kinda cute makes you more grown up and can make grown up decisions. Be mature enough to be trusted. Don't be a play thing. I would rather be ugly than really cute. Another word for ugly is ruggedly handsome.

Of course she does.

She is not playing with your feelings. She told you she likes you and instead of telling her you like her back, you played mind games and did not answer the question. If you like her why can't you just be honest with her?
