Selfish girl?

Alright i've been friends with a libra girl for several months now. We can have long conversations because we get along so well and often times i'm genuinely intrigued by what she has to say, for some reason(usually i'm just annoyed by chatty people).
She's very nice and caring to her friends, and overall a happy person. Humorous approach to life. No drama or emotional trips either.

I had no problem with the way she was...until i started to like her as more than a friend. Then i started noticing(and caring) that even though she gets to talk about every little detail in her life, i can't do the same without everything i say about myself being ignored and then the conversation is redirected back to Her. And i noticed that she almost never asks me questions about anything.

I think that seems a bit...unfair...which really grinds my gears. But even more so when i found out that she has no problem asking her 'best friend' all kinds of questions and worries about him all the time. Even though this guy(an aries) suddenly stopped being her friend altogether. Barely responds to any of her texts and ignores her in person, which gets her angry.
But she still talks about him a lot and gets excited whenever he actually responds to her.
I give her plenty of respect and don't get aggressive about my feelings.
At some point she said she likes that i don't push her for info that she doesn't want people to know, like he does. Is she saying the opposite of what she means—

It kinda bothers me. Maybe both her and i are just greedy for all the attention we can get. But i was wondering if anyone had any good advice or similar experience on where to go from here.

Me:
Sun-Libra
Moon-Aquarius
Ascendant-Aquarius
Mercury-Libra
Venus-Virgo
Mars-Aries
Jupiter-Gemini
Saturn-Sagittarius
Uranus-Sagittarius
Neptune-Capricorn
Pluto-Scorpio
True Node-Pisces

Her:
Sun-Libra
Moon-Pisces
Ascendant-Virgo
Mercury-Virgo
Venus-Leo
Mars-Leo
Jupiter-Capricorn
Saturn-Aries
Uranus-Aquarius
Neptune-Capricorn
Pluto-Sagittarius
True Node-Libra

You're in the friend zone... that damned friend zone! You care about her as more but she just sees you as one of her girl friends. You need to break that if you want anything more to come out of it. You are already showing signs of jealousy towards her Aries male friend. When that gets worse (and it will) she's going to get weird because she only sees you as a friend.

Well even if we're friends, what i don't get is why she doesn't seem to care at all about me like she does her other friends.
i have mentioned this to her and she said that she's becoming more aware of that and tries to change it, but then why is she already "changed" with her other friends?
Unless she's scared to show it directly. Or i'm just not interesting to her.
that could be it.
hmm so i guess it would be best to just stop liking her?

Yeah I've been there too and it sucks.

As for advice where to go from here that was requested in the OP, you have to make a decision first. Are you okay with being just a friend with this girl? Yes or no. None of that 'being a friend hoping something changes' crap. Decide. Is it okay to be just friends?

Then the advice goes like this...

Yes, being friends is all you want: Don't change anything you're already there. If you let go of the emotional unfairness and wanting different attention than she is giving your view of it may change. Or you may decide it's a lopsided friendship and not one you want to continue anyway. Either way, you're in the friend spot now.

No, you want what you want, and what you want is more than 'just friends': This is a double edged problem. If you don't want to be 'just friends' you have to accept the possibility that you won't be friends at all. Don't run off and do the "I like you, will you be my gf" crap or anything but you need to change the flow. I don't know your interactions with her but whatever they are they aren't getting the response you want so they need to change.

Some people will probably say it's wrong of me to say you should accept you may not be friends at all or to abandon the just friends idea and push forward but whats your alternative? Sit in the corner hoping she likes you too one day? Be a friend wishing you had more? To hell with that! She'll continue to either be oblivious to (or ignore) your interest. You'll keep liking her more and more. Then it'll get to the point where she's backing way off cause you creep her out anyway.

sting at work stuff... you walk away mid response and when you come back you've missed responses haha.

Anyway, two things...

First how old are you all? for reference purposes, people are different at 18 then they are at 40.

You've only know each other for a little while. Of course some long term friends are higher on the "Friend-O-Meter"(trademark pending) than you are.

Oh, one more thing...

Stop that! Don't be the guy that goes into a conversation not even knowing who you are. In her mind you're just a new friend. Don't come in with the "How do you feel about me" and "Where's our relationship going" stuff (slight exaggeration intended for emphasis). It screams insecurity and will be a turn of to 99% of women.
