Unsure if she's interested. Am I over thinking? (very long)

A few weeks ago, I saw her in the library and I smiled at her. She smiled back. I figured this would be my first step. The following week, the whole class took a tour on campus with a guest speaker. We sat in a lab at first. She was directly across the room from me and the instructor was right in the middle of the room (between us). I noticed the girl looking at me once but who knows if she was actually looking at the instructor; but I do think it was me. Eventually the tour continued elsewhere and the girl was standing right in front of me while the speaker was talking about who knows what. Then it was time to leave, I started leaving and she bumped into me from behind. The only thing I thought of was apologizing even though I didn't bump into her. A week later or whatever a dude sat next to her and they started talking. This girl is very friendly though and can talk to anyone. I also found out the dude is like that with other people so I'm no longer worried.

 

Anyways, after seeing that I said I was going to move on to another chick. Then I said I was going to try with her again but it wasn't like I was thinking about her 24/7 or anything. I thought if I had a chance some time, good, I'll try. I still haven't done anything to be honest. But today as I was heading to my car, I saw her inside the bus as it drove past me. I was hoping to see her inside and I did but wasn't sure if it was her at the moment. It was her and she smiled at me. By the time I fully realized it, I couldn't smile back. I keep a low profile in class at the moment because I'm usually tired and feel sleepy.

 

I know this sounds one sided and that's why I posted this here so I can get feedback. Feedback I probably can't think of because of my being happy. So lay it all on me. There is another girl I could try talking to and all but I really like this one and feel like we'll get along... personality wise. We look really different from each other. So yeah, just tell me anything you want to help me out.

 

I'm not sure when this happened but at one point a few weeks ago, I noticed her looking directly at me once in class. You know how some of you take a few glances at a girl you like? Well I did that a few times while she wasn't noticing. But when I saw her looking at me that one time, I quickly turned my head.

 

Then a few weeks ago, I arrived to class late and my usual seat was taken so I sat next to her. :D But I'm always so nervous with girls I like (I can do fine with other girls). So I just sat there thinking of a way to talk to her. We weren't doing anything in class but turn in an assignment. So I just went near the instructor putting my assignments together and the girl came up, I asked her if we turn all the stuff together but she didn't know and then she asked to borrow the stapler. I said "yeah sure, it's not mine" and laughed. Not sure if she heard. We sat back down and she randomly said "hi" to me. This is where I seriously failed. I just said hi being all shy and somewhat serious. I was nervous! I should have said "hi, hows it going?" or something. ****!

 

Then the class was told to go somewhere. She went up to the instructor to ask another question but she was helping another student. I stayed near my table waiting to ask the instructor a question and then I did. While that happened, the girl was looking at me as if she wanted to tell me something with her expression and I smiled. Later, we all arrived in the other class for a presentation. I sat infront of her too. Nothing came to mind to talk to her about and she went to the bathroom. Anyways, near the end of the presentation, students were incouraged to ask questions and she raised her hand. While asking the long question, I turned around to look at her. We both locked eyes for seconds. She looked away first then quickly looked back at me and eventually I looked away as well. I was planning on walking with her as the discussion ended but some older dude asked for her thoughts on the presentation. The old guy talking to her didn't bother me at all.

 

The girl spoke to me earlier this week. I was going to do it first but she did. I was just waiting for an opportunity. We had a guest speaker and the entire class was moving around in different areas of the lab. I saw her lean on a wall and I stood right next to her. While the guest speaker was explaining something, the girl randomly tells something about it (a math calculation regarding what the presenter was talking about). We didn't have time to have a conversation but I did respond to it. It's probably just me but I feel like I noticed her trying to be around me that day.

 

Yesterday we didn't talk or have any interaction at all. But instead of waiting, I'm going to create these opportunities next week. I have the perfect plan on how to do it.

 

The reason I made this topic is because I really can't tell if a girl is interested in me or not. I've always read their body language wrong. I'm really not sure about her because she's really friendly and talkative. I will answer my own question I suppose, the only true way to find out is by talking to her. But I keep going back and forth between "yeah, maybe she does like you, give it all you got" to "nope, she's probably like that with everyone." Honestly I haven't shown anything to make girls want to like me in that class. I've been pretty mysterious. I do take care of my appearance.

 

But part of me finds it hard for a girl like her to like someone like me. Yeah, I'm insecure only because I've been attracted to different girls lately. This one is very smart, perhaps nerdy. Me? Well, I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, I have piercings and tattoos and I don't look that friendly (I've been showing it more lately; I smile at this girl all the time). I feel like I don't have much to offer besides being nice, respectful and funny. I'm kinda struggling with myself (trying to become a better student, caring about my future, etc.) And this girl is a lot taller than me.

 

I'm just over analyzing the whole situation. I wish I didn't. I also wanted to express my thoughts here. I'm going to do my very best to try harder with her. I just need to get comfortable. Something that motivated me just now was all the girls I didn't talk to in the past. I don't want to miss my chance with this girl. I also don't have competition in the class. The only things I'm worried about are what I already mentioned and trying not to do something bad (I don't want to look like a creep by sitting next to her that often or smiling at her any chance I get). I've talked to a few people about this (told them all the "signs") and they say she's probably interested in me. But again, I'm unsure because of past experiences. Some of the hints girls give when they like a guy are too vague.

 

But yeah, I'm going to give it all I have. I'm going to force myself to do things I normally don't do. I'm starting to feel more comfortable around her.

She may well be interested in you on some level. Just try talking to her.

 

Who knows after extended conversation you may find that you don't even like her. That does happen.
