Hmm, I would definitely keep it slow, you don't want an akaward semester. Maybe when ur doing your project and fall behind a little bit, be like we should all meet up outside of class and catch up. then get all of there numbers.

Good advice.

You don't want to come running right out the gate and make things awkward when u got a whole semester to work with (unless she drops out of that class or something, then you may be sol). But you want to definitely build a rapport with her. Don't come off like youre straight up trying to hit on her. But don't let yourself get into the friend zone early on either, give her a little bit to chew on. Tell her exciting things u did during your weekend (and if youre not having exciting weekends at college, youre doing something wrong already). Let her know you got a life going on and act like u could care less if she was involved with it or not. This can play to her "well, he seems like a good enough guy and I know I'm attractive - why doesn't he seem to want me" sorta thing. Like I said, you got a whole semester so you can work this angle pretty good. And when you guys are in groups? It's usually a good idea to exchange phone numbers anyways for when you guys might need to meet out of class to work on the project.

This is exactly how I got my last (and now ex) girlfriend of over a year. In fact, she was the one giving me her phone number under the guise of that same reason (needing to meet outside of class to work on a project - definitely a mojor IOI). Once youre outside of the classroom, you can get a better idea of what she thinks of you.

This is all coming from a recovering AFC, so maybe take what I say with a grain of salt. But it definitely worked to my advantage.

It's a commuter school, so I actually don't have anything close to exciting weekends. Most of my friends have moved out in the last year so my social circle is incredibly small as is. I really don't have any good exciting stories to tell. I've found my best way to dhv in the past was by humor, since I don't have many stories. Unfortunately, sometimes I just don't have any good material and I fizzle out quickly.

I should also add that as these group projects were explained to us, they will be done during class time and thus there wont be any need to do anything more outside of class. That would sort of put a monkey wrench in this plan.
