A girl went in and sent a text message saying, Do you regard me as a "friend"? Me too. What does she mean by using double quotation marks on the word "friend"?

I think she may have some affection, but I don't know what your attitude is. So put quotation marks on friends, but add questions. She wants to test you. If you have a crush on her, you might as well tell her how she really feels in your heart. Give her an accurate positioning. She should be hesitating now. If you feel it, give her a space to move on. Maybe there will be a good relationship.
