Or the opposite?

reader, anonymous, writes (16 June 2021): As out and confirmed gay-people, these are mind-games and traps you have to avoid. Alcohol is not the "truth serum" we want it to be. Alcohol lowers the inhibitions; but it's also used for liquid-courage to say things you have no business saying. You don't necessarily mean what you say when you're drunk. Many straight-out lies are told by drunk-people. If you say what you mean when you're drunk, don't bother to apologize for saying something awful or cruel to people. Based on that principle of logic, you said something nasty; because that's how you really feel. Therefore, the apology should be declined!
Fact is, you just say a lot of stupid junk, and that's all it is! It has no legitimacy; unless someone looks you straight in the eyes, and says it stone-cold sober! Not feeling drunk, sentimental, and stupid! It's meaningless!!!
If you are gay, you are among many in the gay-culture always out there looking for "signs." You grow infatuations and obsessions over those either still in the closet, people you want who don't want you; or straight-friends who sometimes tell you what you want to hear.
In your case, she's messing with you; and just likes the idea of you pining for her. Who wants somebody who can only get-up their nerve when they're drunk anyway?
Leave things as they are. She's going to mess your head up.

 Why don't you have a conversation with her when there is no alcohol involved.
You obviously really like her, and she asked you why did you have a crush on such and such instead of her?.
I know its fun, and yes we all like a drink for time to time, but alcohol clouds judgement and makes us say and do things we would not normally.
Go out and do something with her in a non aclohol environment and you will get a pretty good idea of her feelings torward you.

 I think she just wants you hooked so SHE gets all your attention.
Why are you pining after someone who obviously isn't really into you romantically?
