I'm 17, great looks surrounded by girls during school hours because of high girl to boy ratio in this high school (24-6 in my class), in my 3rd year so I'm particularly used to girl attention.

Anyway, my personality is very chill and I'm extremely witty so I can pass shit test very easy and hold frame but I have trouble when it comes to more than small talk with girls that are interested in me so I usually don't pursue them out of fear of being awkward.

I've missed on A LOT of opportunities because of this but these days I got strong attraction signals from a girl I consider very attractive. She is from my high school and recently comes very frequently to visit her female friend which sits in front of me, and I catched her making a lot of eye contact and the 2 giggling and shit.

Blah blah blah I said fuck it and introduced myself, we started chatting, I got her social media and today she constantly visited me and sat near me every in between classes break, I didn't do much other than chat with her because I honestly don't know how to escalate, and my anxiety goes through the roof because of all the female classmates who eyeball us, make comments about us(in a friendly way, like we're a couple or smth, shit test most likely) which make both of us uncomfortable and act awkwardly(she's also shy, and probably a virigin)

At the end of the school time both of us left together and I hugged her when we took different ways but the conversation while walking was kinda awkward because I couldn't find a damn topic to talk to her about. We also texted a little bit and she showed again positive signals so it means that I didn't fucked up completely yet.

I know this is text is a mess, I wrote it in a hurry and english is not my main language so I have some troubles delivering my thoughts, but I really need your help. How do I escalate with her, should I take her outside the classroom, maybe on a bench in the yard? If I do how to not have that awkward silence moment all the time after some small talk, what else should I do? Thank you so much, tomorrow we'll probably see again and I'm planning to invite her somewhere this weekend.
