Grammar for this text

A verb and its preposition. The whole conversation runs on verbs like these: pienso en él — "I think about him", me fijé en su mirada — "I noticed the look in his eyes", contar con él — "to count on him", me acuerdo de él — "I remember him", soñé con él — "I dreamed about him", casarme con nadie — "(not) marry anyone".

A question and a short answer start with the same preposition: ¿En qué piensas? — En nada… en alguien.

Pensar without en. No pienso casarme — "I'm not planning to get married": pensar + infinitive means you intend to do something. Lo pensaré — "I'll think about it".

You already know these. No creo que te diga — after no creo que comes the subjunctive (unit 24). No sueñes — "don't dream" (unit 16). Nunca me había fijado — "I'd never noticed" (unit 9).

Se nota que le gustas — "you can tell he likes you". Literally "you please him": you are the one who is liked, so the verb is in the tú form — gustas; le means "to him".

Colloquial. Media naranja — "other half", playful. Mira quién habla — "look who's talking". Tía here is "girl", said to a friend, not "aunt".
