Yeah.

I don't know how Maureen feels. I don't know if she'll like you back at some point, or if she'll never feel that way and you just have to try to get over her.

But, you can know that if she DOES decide she likes you, she's making that decision out of her own free will. She's not saying it because she's afraid to refuse, or because she's hoping you'll protect her from your parents.

I don't know if that helps or not.
