"She says she likes me but she flirts with everyone!"

I’m a sophomore in high school...now I know this seems like kid love but it’s not. There is this girl I’m into. She’s into me, too. She tells me she likes me and we spend countless hours on the phone with each other every night.
The problem? I’m suspicious of the fact that she flirts with a lot of guys. She leaves my friends messages that she never leaves me. And her ex still thinks that she liker him even though she told me that she doesn't. I don’t know if I should start dating this girl or what. I'm really confused and I need advice!

Dear Chris,
I’ve been accused of being a huge flirt myself so you’ve come to the right person for advice! Friends tell me I flirt with guys, girls, and even inanimate objects! The worst part? I don’t even realize I’m doing it; it’s just part of my personality. So it sounds to me like your crush and I have something in common!
While I know dealing with a flirt can be tedious and frustrating – does she really have to have nicknames for every guy on the football team? – flirts do have some very wonderful redeeming qualities. For instance, we’re extremely friendly, highly sociable and incredibly loving people. And when we enter into relationships with someone we really care about, we’re willing to tone down our flirtatious nature and focus all our attention on you!
The way I see it, even though she’s flirting with all these other guys, she’s spending all her coveted evening phone time talking to you! Let me reiterate: she can flirt with everyone under the sun, but when it comes down to it, you’re the chosen one; you’re the guy she’s trying to get to know better! And if she’s spending all her time on the phone with you, that means she’s not talking to anyone else! Get it? She can bat her eyelashes at everyone in a 20 mile radius of her, but you’re the guy she’s going after…you’re the guy she wants!
Now it’s just up to you to determine if she’s the girl for you. Are you willing to put up with the fact that she exudes geniality and flirtatiousness, or would you rather be with someone who only shows her playful, friendly side to you? It seems to me that she’s into you, so the choice is yours!
And remember, we flirts are just waiting for the right guy to come along and tame us. Maybe you’re that guy?
Good luck!
Marissa
