Hang on. You just graduated college, you're headed to grad school. You're at least 21 years old, probably more like 22 or 23, right? What's with this junior-high-level "she likes him, does she like me" business? Seriously, I considered reporting your OP on suspicion you were under age. Keeping your relationship talk couched in this juvenile vocabulary is part of why it stays uncertain and dramatic for you. You're not approaching the thing like the grown man you are, you're approaching it like a scared 13-year-old who doesn't talk straight and can't say what he wants.
You know perfectly well that it's possible for a person to be attracted to and interested in more than one person at once. Just watch an episode of Jerry Springer if you're unclear about that.
The questions to be asked are these: Is she involved with the other guy? Does she get involved with men, given that she's waiting for marriage, not romantic, and shy? What are your feelings for her, exactly? What conversation would you need to have with her to express your feelings for her? Are you willing to have that conversation?
