Will this ever be a relationship or are we just friends

I still like to think there's a chance. And, I don't think she's using you if she's bringing you around her family, or even if they know about you.

She sounds timid about her feelings towards you. Some people are more forward about it than others.

Sounds like the longer you two hang out, the more you're slowly getting to know each other.

Sometimes, when a guy is patient and takes his time in getting to know a girl, the more she'll respect and like him because he's not the next big creeper out to jump in her pants.

When she says "I'm looking for marriage" I feel there is a possibility for you two because if she was really turned off by you, she would not:
1. touch you
2. call you handsome
3. even mention marriage (in fact, she'd probably play the "I'm bitter and want to be single FOREVER" card on you while she mopes about her problems<--- that is what I call emotional tamponing which doesn't seem to be the case for you.

I don't see any harm in giving her a peck on the cheek and see how she responds- mildly romantic all the while testing her level of attraction for you.. if she sure as heck isn't even semi or quasi into you, she WOULD NOT want you near her face, at all. Even a simple kiss on her hand is a romantic gesture that's quite cute and not too pushy.

Ask her out on a date.

Specifically mention the word date.

Then you will see the light.

Friendzone. You're wasting your time if you expect anything other than what you have right now. After a year, this ought to be Chrystal clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
