What I don't get is that she will flirt with me all the time, lay her head on my shoulder, hook arms with me, etc. Is there a way to get her to be more than friends?

U should sit her down and talk about how u really like her and that u would like to risk it. Elplain how u guys can go back to being friends if it dosent wrk out. I hope I've helped a little bit. Wish u luck:-)

Some girls are just over friendly kind and flirt without realizing. If she sees you as a brother then it'd be very difficult to change the way she sees you. There's nothing you can do about it really.
Try explaining to her how she comes across. She's basically leading you on without realizing which is something she needs to stop doing for her sake as well as yours.
Good luck.

Or she may just be very friendly, and it comes across as flirty. She might also just feel very comfortable with you, and when she links arms with you and stuff, she is just being affectionate.
But it must be confusing for you! So I think you could try and explain to her that while you like her a lot, it is difficult for you when she does those things, because it gives you hope that she may want more, which hurts. She may not realise how her actions are making you feel, and if you tell her, she may think from now on and stop doing those things. Good luck. x

Of course she does all that stuff. It's fun and it makes her feel good when you respond.
She hasn't learned that you can't do that without leading a boy on and how hurtful it is.
Tell you think she's beautiful and you want to give things a go.
If she says no then tell her she needs to cut contact with you for a while and stop being flirty as it's not fair on you.
Good Luck!! xx
