I have done a ton of reading but think it would be best to get some feedback and advice on this here forum.

I started this semester pushing the scales at 225 - I decided enough was enough and immediately began to change my ways. I am working on appearance - I dress a little over the top wearing ferragamo loafers and Thomas Pink shirts but I think it makes me stand out in a good way. I had terrible social anxiety and I get insecure from time to time that the girls looking at me smiling and giggling with their friends are hostile versus attracted to me - and I find myself consciously correcting those conditioned thoughts. I am now 195 lbs so I have had girls overtly show interest in me which is a nice feeling.

I have developed enough rapport with this girl I am interested in to finally ask her out and did so earlier today. This girl is a solid 9 so I was surprised when she said she'd love too.

So here arises my dilemma; my approach was ubër beta and I dont know if shes just being nice or not. This is what occured. I got to class early and saved her a seat - we talked for a little bit before a classmate of mine came over and started talking with me.

He left and I figured ok this is the time let me do this. So I choked a little and got anxious. Well I had found this card and wrote her a note/letter and ended it was a poem, she graciously acceped it even though I am pretty sure I was speaking gibberish as I handed it to her.

She read it infront of me which was one of the most awkward moments of my life. She seemed generally happy and was smiling a lot - in the note I had asked if she would like to spend time to get to know eachother and check out this new art exhibit.

She said this was such a cute gesture and that she would love too. We talked for a while and it felt like it went well. Then she went to go talk to her group about a project, and I resumed studying for the LSAT until class started.

So my approach was rather lame and I am worried that I have sabotaged myself. She left class like 5 minutes after the teacher starred playing a movie but was sweet and went out of her way to say she will see me tomorrow. I have a hard time reading people and can't tell if she is interested in me or just being nice.
