I met a girl in August while visiting my friend at his college campus. We helped her find some bookstore and he left since he got called in for work. She got her textbook and we talked and had a lot in common.

So, we went to go eat and she paid for my lunch, and I helped her find some other building on campus. In exchange, she agreed to meet up again and pay for another meal. We did flirt and touch each other, and she said that she is single, due to her schoolwork/job.

However, we were busy with our own agendas and I go to college a bit far away from where she goes. She did give me her number and even offered it to me. I texted her once and she said that she had her midterms coming up, and I texted again a few weeks later (in October) and she didn’t reply. Although I texted a few girls before and I had to double text as they didn’t get the initial reply.

Should I try again now, as this is her finals week in her college? I will be out of the country next week and will be back in college the week after. If so, how do I successfully ask her on a date and get her to invite me to her place (or drive to my dorm)?
