Just wanted to let you know that you don't have to decide if you love her or not.

So I really liked a girl. This started a year ago and we really liked each other. It got to a point where everyone thought we were together. So it was a weird back and forth relationship. Although we never kissed we held hands a few times and it felt great. But it was so unclear because we never really talked about our relationship. Later I learned that"communication is key" doesn't just mean you need to talk much but that you have to talk about your feelings and your relationship. So at that time I wanted to take a stepp back becaues it didn't feel right and i wanted to decide if i want to be together with her or not. Instead of talking with her about it i thought to myself: "if i dont talk to her she wont have feelings for me and it won't be that bad", which is so wrong. So of course i hurt her feelings with this and she turned away from me. A few days later i realized this was just a weird feeling/phase from me and i actually really like her and why should I decide whether i love her or not ? Well but it was to late.
