Is this just friendship and I am being naive? Should I ask her on a date?

I came to a different university, successfully studied elsewhere before. By pure chance, I started talking to this girl , and we found out that we were from the same previous university. We literally talked for an hour nonstop. The next day, we didn’t have many classes, she thought about going back to her dorm, but she ended up staying with me in the hallway for almost 6 hours, and we talked nonstop again. No joke, we didn’t stop. No awkward silences, just constant talking and laughing. She always looks into my eyes. Once she put her elbow on her knee, rested her head on her hand, and looked straight into my eyes, like “Yeah, keep going, what were you saying?” In my head, I was stunned and wanted to ask, “What are we?”

 

Anyway, I noticed a guy with a dog on her phone wallpaper, but I couldn’t tell who it was because the picture was taken from a distance. She’s shy like me, doesn’t have any photos on social media, and is amazed herself that if it weren’t for that coincidence, we wouldn’t even be talking and would both be alone. We’re both kind of outsiders and only talk to each other.

She also said, “I hope you don’t leave me here alone,” and I responded, “I also hope YOU don’t leave me here alone.” She replied, “Don’t worry,” and I said, “I am staying no matter what.” 

 

Of course, I’ve developed feelings for her, but I think she might already be in a relationship. However, she only ever talks about friends or girlfriends and never mentions a boyfriend. I don’t understand. Is this purely friendship and I’m the only one seeing it differently?

 

Next week I want to say “ I’ve been thinking a lot about this and I really enjoy spending time with you, I would like to get to know you more, let’s call it date?”

Exactly, just say this. It’s way too early to tell whether she is really into you romantically or not, but so far the signs have been good. Just make sure she is single.

You talked for hours, and this is the one important thing you never asked her?

I'd skip trying to call next meetup a date. Just enjoy spending time together, divulge that you're not in a relationship, and ask if she has a boyfriend. If she does, then there's your answer. If not, green light.
