I [20M]am stuck in emotional limbo with a girl [20F]who sends me mixed signals. Should Imove on?

So, I don’t even know where to start. She was a mutual friend a few months ago, and we only saw each other here and there. Around July last year, we started hanging out more, and I really enjoyed her company. We shared similar interests, and I could tell she felt the same. On August 31 last year, I told a friend in our circle that I had feelings for her. After that, things escalated—her and I started texting every day, hanging out, going out on what felt like dates, and all that. We both genuinely enjoyed each other’s company. We spent more time together one-on-one than normal friends do. I started to catch feelings for her, and I felt like she did too. We stayed late in college together, trauma-dumped on each other, shared deep parts of our lives—it got to a point where she became the closest person to me. It felt like I was the same for her. She’d text me daily about her day, try to find time to hang out, and do all the cute relationship-type things. But she had told me once that she didn’t want to date anyone until she finished her degree. I’m an overthinker, so I constantly questioned what we were. It was clear she treated me differently than she treated anyone else in our group. Eventually, I got the courage to ask her out on a movie date and even got her flowers. The day was amazing—until the end. I told her I liked her more than a friend, and she said she was sorry but didn’t want to be in a relationship right now. She also told me how much I meant to her and promised me we wouldn’t drift apart. That rejection hit me like a truck, but I really loved this girl and was willing to wait. Since then, things have gone back to the way they were—so much so that people in our college think we’re dating. Her friends treat me like I’m her boyfriend, too. However, last week, she told me she’s been spending time with another guy (who’s way older), and it completely shattered me. I tried to ignore her after hearing that, but since then, she’s been sending me texts like “love ya,” randomly hugging me, and still treating me like a boyfriend. I feel stuck. I like her so much, but I can’t take this 50/50 anymore. Either we’re together, or we’re not. I can’t have her treat me like her boyfriend while saying she doesn’t like me in that way. Reddit, what do I do? Do I move on and cut ties, or do I confront her again? TL;DR: Got close to a girl who said she doesn’t want to date but still treats me like a boyfriend. Recently, she told me she’s spending time with another guy, but she keeps sending mixed signals (like texts saying “love ya” and hugs). I don’t know whether to move on or confront her.
