Hey there @rainbowpotato and a late welcome to the forums! 
What did you think of @Taylor-RO's advice? It sounds like you have a good thing with your friend, I don't really have a lot of experience with talking to people or flirting or anything like this. The one piece of advice I hear a lot and that I think is pretty good is being honest. With both yourself and your friend.
Do you think you'd be able to ask your friend why she seems so cold on those other days?
How have things been going this week? I hope you had a good weekend
Hey @rainbowpotato, I had a read of your post and can see how confusing this situation could feel! I've definitely been in the situation of really caring about a friend in a romantic way, it can be so hard when you care about someone so much and can't see them!! I'm glad you and she have found a way to stay in contact while you've been busy.
Best of luck talking to your friend about the relationship. We're here if you need to debrief afterwards or need any support figuring out what you want to say 
Hey @rainbowpotato You're navigating this really well 
Asking someone out is really frightening because it puts us in a very vulnerable position. With a friend it's super hard too because it is scary to consider losing the friendship. I have been in this position as well with another girl (I am a girl) So I feel you, and I have been through both scenarios of rejection and getting together. The key thing is that you feel supported and safe and loved, could you mock up here what you would say to her? Maybe write it out somewhere first so it seems clearer
Wow it's exciting but very confusing hey? Have you chatted to any of the counsellors at Q Life? They're really good with these situations You can chat with them confidentially here, or call them if you prefer (Until 10pm). @rainbowpotato
