Alright here goes,
I (25M) recently met a girl (21F) in a 5 week course, there were only 5 in-person classes and I’m not the smoothest, so I never ended up actually securing a date or getting a number.
During this course, we talked a little, not as much as I could have initiated. There were some clear signs of interest on her end, I made her laugh plenty, she teased me a little bit, I caught her checking me out a good amount and there was what I would consider some light flirting. Initially, there seemed effort between the two of us to try to sorta be near one another but by the last class that seemed to shift to avoidance (I assume this was nerves on both of our ends). In person, I got the feeling she might have developed a slight crush on me.
I bumped into her at one of the final exam sites 3 weeks after the class ended (occurs outside of the 5 in person courses), and our interaction was surprisingly positive from the awkwardness that was there when class ended. The whole class was in a group chat, from which I pulled her number to ask her a question about one of the exams, this wasn’t an excuse to get her number I legitimately had a question only she could answer. I was worried she’d be put off by that but she was very informative/helpful, maybe a little more than she would have been if she were just being polite.
A few weeks has passed and I’m thinking about her again. I’m wondering if it’s too late to hit her up and make a move. Maybe I could say something like, “hey I know this is a little out of the blue, but I thought you were cute and liked chatting with you. I was wondering if you’d like to grab dinner?”
I genuinely believe I made a good impression, I was very engaged and confident in the class, I made the class laugh plenty, she saw me helping out one of the other female classmates (her friend) with some mechanical issues after class.
Im not really afraid of the rejection, but i suppose my biggest fear is coming across as a creep/crossing a boundary.
I’m also not so sure how I’d feel if I got a random text from a classmate asking me out. Maybe flattered? Need to know what you guys think!
Any advice helps a ton!
