    Mutual interest, but can't stop worrying. Getting closer?

    Hello,

    4 Weeks ago I first started talking to this girl I like. 4 Months ago I already told her I found her interesting, but didn't get any positive reply. However, the past 4 weeks I felt a lot like she was interested too; she smiles at me, changes seats just to sit beside me, keeps seats free for me, doesn't block any questions/conversations I start with her; and once she even left her friends alone in a break, to be with me.
    The problem is.. I'm trying hard to, but I can't seem to find anything to talk about for longer than 5 minutes. My social behavior was letting others start the conversations my whole life and I don't talk a lot in general. She sometimes brings up short conversations too, but I think she's kind of shy too. I like just being with her, but I'm really unsure how much of a problem it is to not be talking a lot?

    Last tuesday was the last time I saw her, she caught an illness and stayed home for the rest of the week.. Luckily on that day I asked her if I could add her on facebook - so I added her in the evening and wrote a short "It's me" like message.
    When I didn't see her the next day I sent her a "get-well wish" in the evening, she replied 1 day later (thursday) saying thanks but shes still a bit ill. - I waited 2 days and wrote another message yesterday, asking if shes well now. Not sure if I'm being too pushy?
    I saw her online a few hours ago, but didn't know whether she'd like to chat and was too scared to start a conversation.. She didn't either and also didn't reply to my message yet, which she definitely saw since she was online. I don't know much about her online behavior, but she doesn't seem to be online a lot; she also told me she only made her facebook account 2 months ago.
    Maybe she just doesn't know what to answer; I really hope I'm not annoying her.. also because I got more private, asking about her illness, than I was before..

    I'm still worried about her, also because there's this dangerous illness around currently; I'm checking for a reply every hour, can't stop thinking about her and can't seem to concentrate on anything. I'm worrying all day about if I'm too boring, that she might lose interest, wether she'll avoid me next time we meet or not and feel like bursting into tears if she did..
    If she's showing obvious signs of interest, should I stop this worrying? It's my first interaction with a girl I like and I don't know if I'm putting too much pressure on myself. Do I?


    I rarely see her, only about 6 hours a week, because we're in a different semester at university. Since she seemed to like me too I wanted to ask her to do something together last week, but she was ill, so I couldn't.
    I'm still scared it'll feel awkward, because we didn't talk about anything private yet, and I wouldn't call it a very good friendship yet either; I mean we only know each other for 3 / 4 weeks.. but it'd probably be a bad idea to make "only" friends with her first.

    So - I'll see her on tuesday and want to ask if she'd mind me tagging along on friday after university and give her time to reply until friday. She frequently goes reading manga in a bookstore on fridays. We both like this stuff, so theres a reason to ask, but how good would this situation be to get closer?


    Also there's almost 4 months semester break starting in 4 weeks.. Of course I want to do something with her given this much free time. I have absolutely no idea what we could do however; I've never been one to go out a lot and now it backfires.. I just know the cinma is not the best idea, and I wonder about just going out eating, I don't want to end up in hours of silence..
    Only idea I have is inviting her to my place to watch some movies/animes, but that seems more like something to do after I can consider her my girlfriend?

    Well, so far.. I'd be very grateful for some more advice. I've marked my main questions with bold font.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes you are putting a lot of pressure on yourself. Worrying about her and thinking about her too much will be counter productive. It'll put her on the pedestal and make you more nervous around her. You will have a harder time being yourself. That's why it's hard for you to think of things to talk to her about. Since you have common interest in manga, you can talk about that but more importantly just ask her things about her. Show a genuine interest in her life and just let her share that with you and you can just listen. Once you know more about her, there will be many topics you can choose to talk about base on her life. For your first date, you could ask her to go see a movie and after the movie go get something to eat or icecream so you two can talk. Just remember that if a girl likes you, what you do on the date has little importance. They will enjoy your company.
