Does she still like me?

HAHA yes. I know what a joke, a guy asking Basil about a girl problem. Either way Im desparate for some opinions and any help would be great. I know im gonna get some troll answers so hopefully I can ignore those.Anyways..
I don't know where to begin so I'll try to keep it the most organized I can. Any serious answers would definitely help me..I'll first talk about how she acts and the recent convos that got pretty confusing.
We are both 17 and we first met over the summer at a tutoring place. She lives about 30 minutes away from me so we don't go to the same school or anything. As summer was slowly ending, she randomly added me on Facebook and started talking to me. However in person it was only like a question or something she would ask me and that was the only interaction we got in person. We got really close over social media, texts, and even calls/video chats. And she even made me promise to talk to her more in person. The thing is that in person it was completely awkward, no where near what its like online or over texts. whenever we meet in person, its always so awkward and quiet, not to mention eye contact is rarely used. I tried to talk to her but she would always respond in a way as if she wasnt even interested while another guy friend was talking normally to her. And in person, I feel like she rarely looks at me, but sometimes I feel like she does when Im looking away. Over text, we would always ask deep questions and we even asked questions as if we were allowed to have BF/GF or how many times we've been asked out. We even asked each other what type of person we prefer and both our responses matched each other. In the car rides I gave her she would still talk kinda awkwardly but a lot better if we were sitting nearby each other. We usually texted daily and she even told me she liked texting me till late. By the end of summer I got hints from our mutual friends that she had interest in me..But not a complete "I like you, marry me now"
I could definitely see that she liked me over text/call/FB but in person it was different.

Our mutual friend even told me the girl got butterflies when texting but it was diff in person.

Important questions I asked : She started playing truth n dare and i asked her if she see's us as just friends or more and she said "honestly..more."

She figured out that I liked her because she asked me.

We still see each other a couple times a week for a couple hours at tutor.

Recently and the important stuff, our mutual friend talked to her and she told me the girl was worried the relationship wouldn't last and that she started asking the mutual friend if we would look good together as a couple or if I was attractive. The girl said I looked a lil attractive. Ultimately what I got out of their convo was that the girl was afraid of getting hurt and that the relationship wouldnt be successful/last. The friend said the girl was talking about relationships when I didnt even ask her out and the friend said that the girl was already thinking about going out. The mutual friend even told me that the girl liked me but she was afraid of liking me too much and getting hurt. The fact that even to this point were still awk in person maybe made her kinda uncomfortable. The friend said that the girl said she wanted to be become more comfortable with me first and become friends FIRST. (First? Whats second?)

So does that mean she still sees us as more than friends still..?

And even more recently (couple days)ago the girl told me that she didn't think we would have a chance..She said she couldn't view me as more than friends despite her admitting it a couple weeks earlier..And importantly she said that she only liked me/had interest because she knew I liked her first. And that she tried to like me for who I was. She complimented how good of a person I was and felt bad.

I told my mutual friend about this and she seemed surprised too and she said that everything the girl said was completely going against what she said to the mutual friend about how she felt about me.

I was confused about this because clearly she didnt mention "I like you only becuz u like me " thing at ALL to the mutual friend a couple days earlier, and the girl and the mutual friend is pretty close. And did this mean the girl didnt like me more than a friend..? Even the mutual friend thought the girl 100% liked me.

The next day came and I texted her that i'll be okay and she said that she wanted to be ACTUAL friends first (First?whats second?)..the exact same thing she told our mutual friends a couple days earlier.. So did she still have feelings..?

So does it make sense that she told me she didn't see us as more than friends while also telling me that she just wanted to be "actual friends first?"

CONCLUSION : I know I said a lot of things/questions but the thing is Im confused..really..The girl is saying mixed things between me and the mutual friend. Does this girl want to take it slow? What does she want/feel?

Thank you.
