First time in love, no previous experience with girls.

My head and guts are really starting to mess because of this situation I am in, so thought I'd seek advice somewhere.

I'm a student last year in university. She's in the same class. At first I didn't notice her, maybe like for 2 years. At that time I was busy hanging out and talking with people I made frieds with. At some point she sort of joined this little group of ours. There were some things I didn't like about her, and still don't. Regardless of that, as time passed by, I realized I had developed certain feelings towards her. She's a very joyful person, the smile never leaves her face.

Now, something I should have started with probably, is that I am a very shy person. My school years I lived like a nerd, computer games being top priority. Only recently I consider my social live to have increased. Naturally, this is my first encounter with all that is happening, first girl to have so strong feelings about, and first time feeling so scared/stupid/undecided whether to do what? exactly.

At the moment we are communicating a lot, not on daily basis, but still. We don't see each other much in university, but usually chat. And it's there I am getting very mixed signals. Normally she starts the chats, asking me how I've been lately and what's new. We usually engage in lovely convesations, leading to huggies and kisses. Sometimes she calls me nice names. And after those chats, I stay awake for hours, with butterflies fluttering isnide my stomach. And I am like, ugh, || this far from asking her out, but the damn fear and uncertainty is still stopping me. I could deal with the fear, I have changed from the guy I used to be. But at least if I was a little bit sure...

As far as I know, she's ended a relationship recently, so that's another thing my inexperienced nature has to wonder about - is it a good thing to ask her now, so soon after she's ended with someone. My mind's tearing apart between fear to ask a girl for a first time (even though she probably doesn't know it) and trying to figure whether the signs are there. And other questions, like does she really have any interest in me, beyond the conversations ? Because, we have been out on few occasions, the two of us, usually about things with the university, and you can imagine I am like totally insecure at times and yet she's still ... herself pretty much, still lively and smiling ...

I have had ... some attempts to get more attention, other than stuff related to university, like do favors of different kind, offer invitations to movies, parties for different occasions and stuff. Some are met with success, though usually there are other people involved as well, I mean it's not like only me and her.

Yeah, I guess all of the above is pretty confusing, but you have to forgive a guy with no experience in the field. I didn't mention my age, but you can pretty much guess +/- 1 year. I'm not even sure what to look for and what to share in order to receive feedback, but at this point, any would be considered a blessing.

Well, I know it can be tough stuff when it comes to girls! But, you should ask her out! It can't hurt! You should wait a little bit before asking her out, because she might not want to date right after a failed relationship! So in the mean time, get in her life, flirt, etc. (http://www.wikihow.com/Flirt-With-a-Pretty-Girl) If she doesn't like you, she will start to drift away, but if she does like you, you will see that she won't drift away! If you see these signs, then it should be time to ask her out! Oh, and by the way if you two are flirting, and you get closer to her while you talk, and she doesn't move away from you, she probably likes you! Hope this helped!

I.) Stay with the friendship until you are sure.
i.) Try to figure out if she is the type to lead you into a relationship. If
if so let her lead you into one, because you might scare her away.
ii.) She might want you to lead her and that's a little tough to tell,
because you can ruin the whole thing, by testing the idea. Just feel
it out.
iii.) Do not take about dating, relationships, or whatever. Let her talk a
little about it. Keep it let's hangout or hang with friends.
Sometimes, when you hangout alone or with others; she might fall
in love.

II.) Things to do.
i.) Do you two like the do the same things? Is yes, well that is the best
grown for relationship. Friends fall in love with (hopefully) sincere
friends.
ii.) You want to differ in some things, but not all.
iii.) Also you want someone to share your life with, not control it or
change it. Share life, and talk about problems. Life is too short to
fight, so enjoy it and think.

III.) How to act.
i.) Always be you.
ii.) Do not be loud and show off. Be laid back and calm. Be real.
iii.) When talking, look in her eyes do not look away until she does,
for this will show her you are strong-willed not weak.
iv.) Think about cute things to do for her and ask her to things you do.
EX A: If you are making a speach about "teen depession" invite
invite her to it with teacher permission.
EX B: If you play football, invite her to a game to watch you.
v.) Impress her friends & family. If her friends & family like you, they
will keep talking about you. Thus leading her to like you more.
vi.) Time Will lead if it is right. Just beware of the fakes.
