| Hello everyone, I am new to this community and would like some good advice on my situation.
I'm in college over at the UK and ever since school started, I've become intensely attracted to a girl who's in two of my classes. During this semester, I have initiated several conversations with her but they were all limited to topics in class, such as, when's the paper due again? How did you do on that test? And even worse, I made things awkward every time. Another thing is that I think she knows that I am nervous when I talk to her, but at the same time, she hasn't completely shut me out. Let me give you a thorough example,
First time I approached her after class, saying, how's it going, she went on about how the class, yada yada yada, but it was great because she kept asking me questions like, where do you live, what job did you apply for. Then I awkwardly threw in an irrelevant DHV, and unfortunately, it was a complete failure because right afterwards she told me this "Okay… Well I have to go to work." She then turned and left without saying goodbye. As if, she didn't know what to say to it. I felt terrible afterwards, taking it as disinterest, so I didn’t talk to her for an entire week. And during that week in class, I sat on the different side of the room, and did not look at her whatsoever.
My next approach was two weeks after that incident. As she was leaving, I stopped her saying "how have you been?" She then expressed that she didn't want to have to study for the next test. Then she walked out of the door, without reciprocating (i.e. and you?) And she immediately started talking to some AFC, but then I butted in, joined the conversation, and expressed interested In the AFC, ignoring her. Then I said this "So where you guys heading?" but directed it towards the AFC, she told me she's going to her dorm room anyway, but this time, I left without saying goodbye, because I was going to a different location, And successfully got the AFC off of her. Perhaps this conveyed that I was not interested in her, rather the AFC.
So during class the next day, I was talking to my friend conveying that I was a sociable guy, and in the corner of my eye, I realized that she was staring at me. I suppose this was an IOI.
The bottom line is, this girl is an HB8, yet a shy one, and during class, I believe I am the only one to have approached her, other guys haven't noticed her. I know two things for sure about this girl, she does not really have guy friends, and she isn't into partying and I interpret as my advantage.
I think I've finally found somebody I genuinely want to pursue a relationship with, and I want to break it to this girl that I am interested in her, and ultimately become her bf. I was thinking I could ask her to help me study in the library. Any advice on my situation?
