Not love, but with time who knows?

It has been over 3 months since my recent change in relationship status from 'taken' to 'single'. In the earlier times I looked high and low for anyone that I could hold onto, just to give me the attention I was used to for over 2 years. But as time passed and no one was found I began to grow away from that pitiful stretch of emotional abandonment. I went around, not trying hard at all to get a girl's attention, not being sure if I was worth any girl's time. I talked to a few from time to time, small pointless banter between two people of the opposite sex. But with every flirtatious(sp?) experience moment had, it was to no avail, I went my way and she to her own. We walk away in the same position as before we had spoke. No numbers exchange nor plans to see each other again. This went on for some time, not frequent, but often enough to keep my confidence at a steady level. I was on my way to school one Friday evening when I received a txt from a friend whom I haven't spoken to since shortly after graduating. He invited me to a "party" at his house later that night. I knew him, I knew that if I go he will end up getting me to drink, no not soda, alcohol. Before that night alcohol has not touched my lips, well , there's a first for everything, but at first I was very hesitant. What got my attention and ultimately got me to go was the mentioning of a very cute girl I'd had met once before a while back. She wanted someone of the opposite sex to hang out with....well that's where I came in. Well after class I showed up, through out that night I had taken 3 shots of different kinds of vodka, only to get a pretty good buzz, as for the girl and I, we talked a little, but I had to be home by midnight, so nothing happened. But the following night I was invited yet again down his house, this time with a stronger promise for time between her and I. Well, later that Saturday night, after a few drinking games, and a couple shots to loosen(sp?) everyone up a bit we had our time together. It would be TMI if I would tell you what occurred that night, so I won't. But at the end of the night, around 12:45, her and I had to leave, me in my car, and her in hers. As we walked towards our cars we exchanged numbers, in hope to hang out again, I walked her to her car before going to my own. Before getting in her car she turned to me, not saying anything, and gave me one last kiss goodbye. That was like her hook, and it was up to me if I wanted to take a bite of said hook and continue on with what we might have. Well, two days passed before I texted her in hopes for making plans. After time we had things planned out for the following Friday, I was gonna take her out to eat and to the movies. After all of that was said and done we went back to my house, we hung out in my room until my mother came home. Moving forward a week, we had plans again, we were going bowling w/ a few good friends. We had a great time. For the next week we would be texting each other nearly everyday. Moving on to this past Thursday, sept. 24th, we had plans for another date, a show(small concert). The show was at chain reaction in Anaheim, we were going to see my friends' band As Am I. We had a great time, the bands were incredible, As Am I rocked! We were getting really hungry so we left an hour or two early. It was a long drive back to Ontario, but we talked about so much, with every word and moment passed we felt a stronger connection towards each other. So much was learned about one another that night. So much in common, especially on the topic of relationships. Not the relationships themselves but the effect they had on ourselves. We began to connect more and more. Over time I have fallen for her more and more. She is like no one I have never met, she is cute, funny, great sense of humor, couple with a cute laugh and even cuter smile. Especially at this time in my life, I feel as if she is a girl that I need right now, someone to get the parts of my personality out that I normally wouldn't. Its not love, but within time who knows?
