So I'm in class with this girl for the summer. The second week I chatted with her for a bit after class. The third week (last week) I talked to her more after class and asked her if she wanted to study together. She agreed, I handed her my phone, she typed her number in and saved her first and last name in it. I texted her a little bit later "gtrman571 from class : )", she responded "Hey!".

​

The next day I set a day and place to meet. She seemed to ignore this and responded "are you taking the test on Sunday?", I reply "yeah you?". No response for the rest of the day. I just texted a single question mark the next day, and she responded "yeah I am." Yikes I thought. I persisted, "so how about like 3 pm tomorrow, sound good?", she responds "sure". I joke "don't seem too excited lol", with this text she seemed to open up a bit more and be more playful.

​

Anyways, we meet up on Saturday at this chill lounge/lobby near a downtown hotel. I greet her with a hug, she is a little late and so buys me a coffee. We do some studying, and somewhere along the line I joke something like "oh man you seem stressed over this test", she agrees that she is and so I say 'you need to relax'. I then proceed to give her like a 10-second shoulder massage which makes her smile. It's a calculus class so I joke that one of the functions we see sec(x) makes me think of sex, she smiles and agrees and tells me something else in the class that makes her think of the word sex. I invite her to come walk with me to one of my favorite spots for food. She says she can't and has to get back to her roommate for dinner. We agree to call it a day, I walk her to her car. She thanks me for all the help and tells me if I ever want to do it again sometime I should text her. I agree and we hug goodbye.

​

The next day is the last day to take our test at our schools testing center. I got there right as it opened and right as it opened she texts me "Good luck!!!". A good sign I thought... We were texting a bit that day about the test. The next morning before class she texts me and asks me about hw problems. I ask her if she's free after class, she says she has a doctors appointment. Nevertheless, we hung out a little bit after class before she had to go. She tells me shes going to a festival this weekend and so I probably won't get to hang out with her this weekend.

​

I suppose I am just worried about friend-zoning myself. I think I am on good terms with her but want to let her know more directly that I want to be more than just study buddies. I'm thinking about asking her to just hangout this weekend (in the off chance that she's free) and not necessarily studying. I feel like I might even text her something like "Hey so I hope it doesn't scare you off but honestly I am looking to be more than just friends with you..."

What do you guys think? Any tips?
