Is She Interested In Me? (10 Points)?

So there is this Girl That I Have known for 5months. My cuzin told her in about a month of me knowing her that I liked her but she said we are just friends and enjoys talking to me. Over the course that I have known her she has done things like save me seats, share food with me, and after school would sometimes wait for me. Sometimes even an hour. She even invited me out with to the movies once but nothing happened. I did not want to make a move because all her relationships have ended badly. She also calls me I Never call her. And we would text often. I Felt that things were good until my friend said I'm friend zone.I didn't think much of it till a month ago when we were hanging out at school and she said where she was sitting was sticky and asked me to check her to see if it was sticky. Since then I felt that I Know her to long to ask her out now. Since its xmas vacation and exams our over I Have tried to distance myself by not messaging her or talking 2 her unless she messages me. So Is It best to distance myself or just give uo?
