Hey guys, been kinda on the forums lately just to keep my mind off my own relationship lol. Just wanted some outside viewpoints.

I have known this girl for about a year now. Started last spring semester we had a class together. That summer we both took physics, and I used that time to kinda get to know her a little. We stayed after class almost every day and worked on homework together for like 2 hours every day. I am not a nerd, but I am far from dumb; she likes that I explain things to her and not just "give her the answer." I am a pretty good "people person" so the communication is defiantly "there" between us. I'm not just helping her w/ work or whatever.

So that was over the summer. We spent a lot of time together, although it was strictly school related.I was not trying to rush things, wanted to "feel it out." Fall semester has come around, and we have 3 classes together. By this time we "know each other" well enough that we sit with each other in every class (well, we do now, not at first, she is very quiet and I was not trying to be that forward). Naturally we started to gravitate towards each other because we are "familiar' with each other, and do enjoy each others company.

I have just now felt comfortable enough with her to attempt to get to know her better. We have lots of group work, and naturally I have made sure we were partnered together. I ALWAYS make her laugh. Even at stupid stuff I say she laughs. We meet up now to study, and end up talking and joking the whole time (while still getting out work done.)

She has just now started to open up to me a little. Slowly I think she is starting to like me a tad... but I am just not sure. I asked her out about a week ago for lunch/park outing and she agreed. We had a blast. Laughing the whole time, etc. Well, that was out first "outside of school" thing, and it was a success.

That was last weekend. This week we have been texting each other pretty much all day. I mean it might not start till 7 or 9 at night, but once it starts it will last until one of us goes to bed (like a txt ever 5 or 10 min or so for 5 or 6 hours at a time). I took her out to breakfast on friday between classes and that was also a success. We talk effortlessly these days.

Anyways, She has been txtin me good night for the past few nights, although it has been partly because I have been telling her to "txt me later if you want to talk" kinda thing. I am trying to get a feel of what kind of attention she is wanting to give back... and so far I have done this by giving her the option of continuing the conversation or not. She has cosen so far every night to see what im up to. (this shows a lot I think, considering we were soley talking about school related things not even 3 months ago)

Friday afternoon I asked her to go back out with me on Sunday just to hang out, which she happily agreed to. She is out at the lake all day today, I am waiting around to see if she attempts to contact me. If she does I think that this will be a big indicator she might be thinking about me. Like I said, I am kinda playing the sidelines to her actions, and am reacting to what she is wanting to give.

Oh, I went to her apt the other day to use her scanner for an assignment. She wanted to share her cheesecake with me. I don't like cheesecake... but I ate the entire thing with her, lol. ( SHHHHH!! dont say anything )

Do you think any of these are indicators that we are headed in the right direction? Like I said, I am not trying to rush things by any means. I have invested a lot into the relationship this far however, even though if its just to this point. I fight the urge every second to talk to her. Is that ok?

Her personality type is very conservative. She is a "good girl" if you know what I mean. So I know this will be a slow process. Am I going in the right direction?

ONE MORE THING, I think we are trying to break the "touch" barrier. This might sound stupid, but we sit in class beside each other, and at one point we were close enough for out skin to touch (doesn't happen, at all lol) and she didn't move away or flinch or anything. Then the next day in lab we were takin pictures and I though she tapped me to look at what she was doin so I kinda leaned in to see and for a second we were basically right on each other while she took her picture. Again, that might sound like nothing to the avg person, but like I said, physical contact is NOT happening unless its on purpose. and she def sayd beside me for a good few seconds, not flinching away or anything.

What do you guys think???
