So I started Uni last week, most people started on march (it's like that where I live), but this girl and I started this semester. Anyway, she has two friends she knew from beforehand with whom she usually hangs out.
First day of classes, I caught her glimpsing at me several times, and I caught myself doing it too, all morning. Then in the afternoon we share a subject with different people, and the same thing happened. I didn't think she was pretty. But then the second day I saw her, I fell for her. Really hard. I can't stop thinking about her, I like everything (so far) about her. But she didn't look at me all week, if she had to look at my direction she wouldn't look at me. Until today (monday), when in the special afternoon subject she started doing it again, and ofc me too. We both caught the other one looking many times. Also today, I was there before her, and she moved a desk and sat right in front of me, very very close to me (she never sits there), especially after seeing me talk with another girl (idk if she sat there because of me or she liked the place haha)
During a break, all elevators got full and we were both waiting, together with one of her friends who is in the afternoon with her. I didn't have the balls to talk to her, and I regretted it. When the second period ended, same thing with the elevator happened. I asked her about a sports club which I happen to be a fan of too, we talked about it, I asked her if she went to see games and she said she usually couldn't because of a sport she practices, so we talked a bit that. I asked her if she was good or if she would go on the bench, etc.
Then I asked her if I could join her and her friend to do a group work we'll have to do in some weeks, and she quickly said yeah ofc, and her friend was like yea wtv. I said do you guys have Facebook or something (for the work) and she said yeah sure we'll tell you our account later. Then the elevator came and we stopped talking, then we went out (it's a building in the middle of the city), she talked with her friend and then she looked at me and said bye (her friend didnt haha). I said bye, and left, pleased of finally having spoken to her.

TlDr; I talked to her, it went okay, she agreed to be in a group with me, nice excuse to get her number and/or facebook. She glimpsed at me many times.

What do I do now? I see her every morning, and on mondays also in the afternoon. She's usually hanging out with two or three friends, which makes it kinda harder. Should I go ask her if she's free after uni to go grab lunch? Or too weird/fast? Should I try talking to her during class (although there's usually not much space to talk, and she sits next to all her friends). How do I ask her out if she's with her friends? What do I do when I see her again in a few hours? How should I play this? I know I'm probably overthinking, but I have a really nice feeling about this girl for some reason, and I wanna play it right. Thanks

You are overthinking. A lot.

Holy shit man, it's just a girl. If you work yourself up like this you're gonna shit the bed when you actually talk to her and get her out with you.

Just relax - it's just a girl.

Looks are an IOI, yeah... Get her number. Text her a bit. You need to build enough comfort for her to be aware you're not a psychopath... then just say you're going to grab a beer after class, and she should come with.

Boom, done.

Not hard. Don't overthink it. Just do it.

Haha I tend to overthink a lot about everything, not just girls. It wouldn't be the first time I date a girl or anything, but I don't have that much experience.

Today when she got into the class she didnt look at me but as she was sitting down she did just as I was looking at her and she smiled and said hi, and ofc I smiled back and said hi. It's important cause we just didn't talk until yesterday.

I don't know how to proceed on getting her number like, it's really hard to do it when she's with all her friends all the time, and even then I'm not sure what to use as an excuse to get it haha.

So should I first text her for some days and then ask her if she wants to do something, or just ask her to go grab something after class. And should I ask her if she wants to on text like the day before, or do it in real life that same day?

Also on friday there's like a party at one of the guy's house, I'm not sure if she's going but he invited everyone in the class. Should I wait until then and try to use alcohol to be a bit more confident or is it better to ask her out during the week, so then we can cut to the chase during the party (if everything goes well).

Thanks for answering my silly questions!!

Well she's going to need a certain level of comfort with you in order for you to get her number... So yeah, like I said - talk with her a bit. Make her laugh. If you've got a pre-text for you to actually NEED her number for class or whatever that'll work, otherwise just spend 5 or 10 mins talking to her, and then tell her "you're pretty cool, why don't you give me your number"...

Text a bit, build some comfort and then tell her to get a beer with you at X place and X time.

If you both make it to that party, that would be a good place to not only get to know her, but to escalate as well... Skip right over asking her out and K-close (or more) if you're getting the signals and IOIs.

Hm for now I don't have an excuse to get her number, in some weeks I will because of the group work we¡ll do together, but that's not yet.

What's some advice for when she's all the time with her friends? That's what makes it harder, I wouldn't mind talking to her when she's on her own...

But well, I could talk to her and be like wanna join me for beer/lunch after class, or should I use it to first get her number. Also I could ask her if she's gonna go on friday and see. I mean if we go get lunch or something first and everything goes well, it'll be easier to k close on friday if we've already developed some sort of together moments, and some confidence, than doing all the work on friday...

No - do it in this order:

1) Talk to her, chat her up a bit
2) Get the number
3) Text a bit and build some comfort
4) Ask her out by telling her you're going to X place at X time and she should join you


Or - skip all that and just close at the party...

Thanks. Or would it be better to chat her up, get her number, text, and not ask her out, but close at the party (if she goes). Or do girls tend to prefer to being asked out?

Remember when I said you were overthinking shit?

Haha I remember, but idk maybe there's like special PUA advice for these things or something.

Which way would you choose personally?

This way:

1) Talk to her, chat her up a bit - See if she's going to the party
2) Get the number - regardless of whether she's going to the party or not
3) Text a bit and build some comfort
4) Go to party. Kino. Escalate if possible...

Go from there. If you hit it off, asking for a date should be easy. If not, then you can still keep at it via text afterwards.

Stop overthinking shit and just do it.

It's just a girl. You may have noticed but there are lots of them around.

Thanks. I'll try to do that. The only complication is that she hangs out with her friends all the time. Is there any workaround for that, or should I wait until maybe somehow she's on her own?

i hope you put this much thought into your uni work.

Ya --

"Hey X, can I talk to you for just a second?" - and get some privacy.

Hey guys, small update here.

Today when she got there, she said hi again, although much less happy or wtv.

Then she sat down, and her friends weren't there yet, so after a bit (I waited for her to settle down), I asked her if she had bought her photocopies for the special lesson we share in the afternoon. She said she hadn't yet, but that her friend had given her hers to photocopy. I said oh alright, I was planning on going to this place down the block to buy mine, we could go together and we can both photocopy the ones your friend gave you. And she was like yeah sure, and I asked if during the break, or after class, and she said yeah sure, I'll tell you.
Then she went back to paying attention to her phone. 8 in the morning isn't easy for game :p

Anyway the thing is when the break came like two hours later, she just left with her friends, to do something with them. Then when class ended, she was with her friends too, didn't even look at me.

This made me a bit pissed, as so far all the signals had been positive, but today was quite a disaster when compared. What's wrong (I'm sure I made infinite mistakes today, not a good day), and what do I do next? Should I ask her about it or will it be too pushy, or maybe wait to see if she brings it up? I already talked to her twice, and even though she's said hi first twice, she still hasn't initiated conversation. It's gonna be hard if she doesn't help a bit. Or maybe I should just wait until the party...

Meet more girls.

Way too much importance is being placed on this girl. When you are around more girls, this particular one will sense that and probably respond favorably to you from now on. When you have more women in your life, or even if you're just approaching more women, any single interaction takes on much less importance. What also happens is your vibe goes through the roof. Maybe give it a shot.
