First off, I'm a 19yr. old college student, and this is my second year. Now, school started back in september, and I met this girl in my calculus class (she's a freshmen - 18), and she's cute, very intelligent, lively and overall a just a great person. Since then, we've become friends, especially since we always sit together (it's a small class). However, we really don't talk too much in class because after all it's calculus and I need to pay attention or otherwise I won't understand, and after class I have another class in five minutes, so from there we go our seperate ways. But we have spoken over myspace a few times, but no long conversation or anything like that - just a few questions here and there. So my question here, is whether I should ask her out. I know that she likes me as a friend but I don't know if she would be interested in something further. Also, if I do ask her out, and she happens to say no, I don't want it to screw up the friendship and it would be ackward since we're in the same class. Any advice out there?

ON A SIDE NOTE (if it's helpful for anyone): She did give me her email once, in case she needed help with her math over the weekend because there was a test on monday - but I know for a fact that she already knows most of the material and if anything I need her help rather than vice versa.
Also, for about a week she left the class and was transfered to a higher math level because she was that good at math, but came back a week afterward, because it was just too hard, - she did mention she missed.

Maybe you could email her with conversation about the class and maybe suggest getting together to study. It's hard to tell if she is interested in dating you at this point so why not work on building a friendship first and feel things out?

I'm going through pretty much the same thing except it's biology and she's my lab partner.

Probably gonna ask her out after finals considering how weird it would be if I put us on the spot with over half the semester remaining!

See if jumping the date gun is gonna do more harm than good with your studies and take it from there. Good luck!
