It's this girl on my Track and Field team. She doesn't talk too much and only talks to her close friends out on the track. I've occasionally talked to her while we were waiting for our rides home at the bus pickup and we've been able to hold really smooth conversations about upcoming track meets, our coaches, and practices etc. She opened up a lot more than I thought she would. I rarely come across a girl that I don't normally talk to that was as engaged in the conversation as her. We had a good amount of common ground. She talked just as much as me and gave her personal opinions. She laughed occasionally and smiles a good bit. Occasionally she might try to add a joke in, putting little personal details in them (i.e. She mentioned that she has asthma). She sort of tends to ramble a bit. Also, she always has her phone out when we talk, but when we do talk she is engaged put a lot of focus on what i'm saying. When we are walking and talking, she looks at me, but when I sit right next to her at the bus ramp, she sometimes talks while looking away but not too much.

 

One time I saw her walking in the hallway between classes and I had my ear-buds in, but our eyes connected and I saw her smile, wave at me, and say "Hi [My name here]" and I had only talked to her like 2 or 3 times prior to that! Once when we had a team meeting, we all assembled around our coach, and a couple of friends and I were talking while she was standing on the outskirts of our group. I looked in her direction for a second and I saw that she was staring me straight in the eyes and she didn't even look away. It was the strangest thing because she wasn't smiling, but she was looking right into my eyes for a good 3 seconds (That's a lot for staring at someone). I was really intimidated so I looked away. She had to be thinking about something when she was doing this, right?

 

Anyway, does it seem like all of this could mean that she's interested, or is she simply being kind and polite? What can I do to find this out?

Thanks!

If you want to find out if she's interested in you, ask her out on a date. If she says yes, she is interested. If she says no, she's not. There is no reason to dwell on eye contact in the hallway or what information she is disclosing to you or what she might be thinking. Be proactive and find out. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

School girls are rarely THAT polite in that context. It's more likely than not that she is interested. Strike up a conversation with her.
