There's a girl in one of my college classes, pretty small class (~15 people) who I'm thinking about trying to hook up with. She's a friend of a friend, so we've talked before. I was talking to her after class last Thursday and she definitely seemed interested in what I was saying. From what I've heard, I'm her type and I think my friend talked me up to her a bit so she's probably interested. Here's where I want advice:

What's a good way to approach her after class? I don't want to talk about school with her and I'm not afraid of escalating, I just need something good to use after class that isn't about school but doesn't come off as tryhard.

Thanks in advance,
ondas

Just ask her to have coffee, a casual get together, and take a real interest in her(getting her life story, her hobbies, interests, how is school going for her, etc. Make sure you do most of the listening. Good luck sir.

Since I've got a similar situation, I am posting it here:
It is a HB9 I'd say who catched my eye two months in university. I opened here over Facebook since I am the students' delegate and so it was normal to talk to everyone. This got on with too much texting from my side and nearly ended in a disaster after a students' party where I overdid the negging. I negged her nose, her deepest insecurity, what her best friend later told me. He also said that she "forgot" about it. After two weeks she initiated texting with weak excuses about school. I either ignore her or answer mostly not immediately. Two weeks ago we went out partying with colleagues again and we talked chitchat but there was tension; she always smiled and we always held deep eyecontact. I didn't do anything, since we weren't isolated and so among the other colleagues and the incident was in the back of my head. After some days she initiated texting with weak excuses again, I continued ignoring or needing more time to respond. Yesterday we met in town, both with friends.she sure was very happy to see me. I set up a going out with colleagues and her on Friday. So the question you are waiting for. In this college game, how do I isolate properly? The antislutdefense must be way higher between colleagues she just knows since some months. Or is this a limiting belief?
And sorry for the long post, but I wanted that you get the whole situation properly
