So I met this girl (we are going to call her Megan to help with following the story) in one of my classes last week on Monday and she invited me to a club meeting of a particular interest we both had. Actually, that same day, she went out of her way to walk me to my car.

Fast forward to Tuesday and after the club meeting I commented on the band t-shirt she was wearing and she was ecstatic. Not too many people on campus knew that band. We walked and talked afterwards and she asked me for my number. I asked her if she'd sit at the parklet the college had outside with me and so we did. We talked for a good two hours about different interest and general values we had, nothing too serious. Before we parted ways she said, "I hope my ex doesn't ambush me on the way to my car". I asked her if she'd like me to walk her to her car and she said that she's alright but she appreciates it.

Once I got home I texted her and jokingly said "I hope you're okay and your ex didn't ambush you." Her response: "Haha, no, she's too small and she knows I could kick her ass"... I felt so bad that I was starting to develop feeling for Megan yet she was a lesbian but I continued texting her like what she just said didn't affect me as much as it did. We texted practically the rest of the night and made each other playlist to listen to the next day.

Wednesday I asked her what her schedule was like and turns out our schedules are similar for the most part. We got lunch together that day and I tried to subtly bring up the topic of her being a lesbian by asking "what it's like having an ex on campus?" I explored that a little and found out that she's not lesbian but bi-sexual and leaning more towards guys now after her last girlfriend. My insides had a little party. We walked each other to the building our next separate class was in and told each other we would meet up after class. I asked her if she'd like to ride with me to the other part of the campus and she said "Sure!" So I drove her to the other side and we walked each other to class. Afterwards, my (m) friend, her (m) friend, her, and me all walked to our cars together. Her male friend definitely held the floor for the most part of the conversation and exerted the most confidence. I figured, "Damn, if she's not dating him, what chances do I got?" Later, he left and she said she didn't know how she was going to get home considering her phone was almost dead so I lent her my charger from my car and we parted ways.

I actually got a text on the way home from her asking if I was into a certain band and we continued talking the rest of the night. When she texts me, it's within the same minute if not the next minute. (It almost always is like that)

Thursday, we didn't have a class together but again, we texted the entire night, same as all the nights before.

Friday is when shit gets good. So we got lunch again that day like all the rest of the days, except she was wearing this to die for short black dress that about made me melt it looked so good. I complimented her on it and told her it looked really good. She said thank you and we discussed a project we had due in our class at 10:00 PM that night. We walked each other to the building our next separate class was in and parted ways. I told her to meet me at the bus whenever she got out of class. I parked over on the other side of campus were our class is that day and where she also parked and I took the bus over to the other side instead. She met me at the bus and we took the bus together to the other side of the campus.

Once our class was over at 2:30 I met her and my (m) friend outside of the class and we went to the lab to work on our project. Once there we all worked on our project until there was this other club meeting at 4:30 and we attended that together until 5:30. There was a hot girl at that club meeting who literally came up to me and told me how nice I looked. Unfortunately I was so focused on Megan my only response was "Thanks." After the club meeting we continued our work on the project. I sweat a lot and it was around this time that I noticed my body odor was coming off pretty strong, at least to me it was. I tried covering it up with soap in the bathroom. I was pretty self conscious about it and kept my arms close to my side which probably exerted bad body language but I couldn't do anything about it. At least after that incident I have deodorant in my backpack. My (m) friend left around 8:00 PM once him and I were finished but I stuck around with Megan and the tutor until Megan was done. She finally finished right on time and bought the tutor, her, and me pizza. I told her I'd buy her a drink sometime to make up for the pizza and she accepted.

After we finished the pizza it was 10:00 PM and I walked her to her car. She thanked me for staying behind with her and I told her that it was great because it helped reinforce the ideas more for me through explaining them to her. I told her that I also try and be there for my people and she said that she's the same way with her friends. I asked her if she does a lot for her friends and she said that she does. She said the worst thing is whenever she has friends that come out to her that they have feelings and she has to tell them she doesn't feel the same way. She told me that her (m) friend (same one mentioned above that I was nervous about) did that and she had to tell him she wasn't interested. On top of that, other girls who have said they are interested in her and she's had to blow them off too. When she got to her car she broke down about the class we had. She said, for the first assignment, that it was too difficult for her and she doesn't think she's going to be able to make it but that it's for her major. I just hugged her until she felt a little better and asked her if she'd go to the park right across the street with me. That we could lay out in the grass on a blanket and talk. That it'd make her feel less stressed out. She said that sounds like fun and grabbed the blanket and we went to the park.

At the park, we talked on the blanket until 4:00 AM in the morning. The breeze at the park was nice and it helped blow away my body odor from her, in case she could smell it. This is whenever we shared everything about each other. Who we are, our wounds and scars we've received in life and our thoughts on the world. Often times, we'd get quiet and just look into each other's eyes and smile for a few seconds and then she'd break gaze and bring up something else to talk about.

Once 4:00 AM came around, we walked back to our cars and I gave her a hug goodbye. I told her to let me know when she gets home and she said she would. She did and I texted her the next morning a meme of how it feels taking off a sleeping mask at 12:00 PM. She texted back "Omg yes".

I asked her Saturday evening how her studying was coming and she said that she's just going to study tomorrow. I asked her if she wanted to hang out then and she said she was prepping for Hurricane Dorian. On Sunday, I texted her to let her know that college was cancelled Monday and if she'd like to have a movie day together to celebrate. She said she was going to spend the day with her family and that she just deflated her air mattress. I made a little joke from how she told me it always deflates that it should've just known how to do it on its own. She said that it needed a little help and I told her "Haha I got you". It's getting pretty dry and it feels like the feelings have maybe died off. I didn't text her Monday because I figured she was with her family and didn't want to bother her.

I texted her today and sent her a song she'd probably like that I used to love when I was younger and she texted back (always right after I send a text) "Ohh that's a good one."

​

I honestly want to know if you guys think she sees me as a friend or maybe something more. Should I try and make a move now, or wait until we get to know each other more. If we do end up dating, I'll be the first guy she ever has dated. A part of me wants to take it slow, but another part of me is scared that if I continue waiting the friend-zone will surely be drawn, if it hasn't already. I probably won't be seeing her any this week on account of the Hurricane. I've just been going to the gym every morning for 2 hours and keeping active with studying and Ubering the rest of the time.

​

Tl;dr Girl is sending, what I perceive as mixed signals. Please read what I wrote. If not all, at least start at Friday.

​

Thank you so much for your time and I truly appreciate anything you have to say.
