Affiliate Marketing Secrets

There is a long story affiliated with this, but here’s the short version:
I have worked with this girl for 4 years.
We have been as close as “work friends” can be, but the over last couple of months we have been distant.
We never saw each other outside of work.
We have always taken interest in each other’s life. But we have barely made any physical contact (we are both awkwardly shy).
She has always had a boyfriend since before we met, so I’ve never made a move on her. But, I’ve never really hid the fact that I like her.

Here is the important part:
She stayed after work for half an hour the other day just to talk to me (I was still working). We caught up a little bit, as we haven’t seen each other in a while.
In that timeframe, she found at least 5 reasons to touch me and hugged me 3 times.
That was weird to me, because she has never been the touchy-feely type. I think she is still dating the guy, but do you guys think this has any meaning? Should I go after her?

This is a serious question, so please don’t make any jokes.
So, I’ve been dating this guy for like a month now. I live in the suburbs of Chicago, so gangs are pretty prominent around here. Just recently, my boyfriend joined to gang SGD, or Spanish Gangster Disciples, which is part of Folk Nation. I don’t want to be fully involved with this stuff, but I kind of am just because I’m dating him. A lot of his friends in the gang are saying things to me like “We’ve got your back, you’re one of us now” and I feel like I’m part of the gang. Also, I know a lot of people that are in the Latin Kings at other schools, and those are their biggest enemies… I’m scared I’m going to get jumped by them or something since they know that I basically claim SGD. Now I mean I don’t mind being affiliated like this, but I just want to know , what really happens to gang members girlfriends? Like are they considered part of the gang or anything? Any information would be appreciated!
We’re both 14 years old, and we live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, about a half an hour away from the inner city. He’s Mexican, and I’m half Spanish half White.
Thank you so much!
