Try and escalate and see how things go. If she’s receptive to physical touch then you might be ok. If she shuts it down then you’re friendzoned.

Don't be concerned about "beta" stuff. One could argue it's pretty beta you're asking here. The most beta thing of all is to live your life in fear of what others consider beta.
[–]ObviouslyNotALizard 48 points49 points50 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
All that beta and alpha stuff is nonsense used by weirdos online to sell you bs self help courses.
Learn about things that interest you and do them. Take care of your hygiene and health. Don’t dress like a peacock or a mall ninja.
Do these things and you will be well on your way to a happy and healthy dating life.
There, I just gave you better advice than weirdos on the internet who will call you a beta or whatever.
If you want feel free to venmo me $300 and I’ll send you an email telling you what a big dick alpha lion guy you are to get the full experience

I've made this comment on here so many times and it falls on deaf ears. It's just a different form of insecurity, they just lump all the usual things people worry to much about into the word beta. The fact that anyone, OP included, has to ask this question just screams insecure and they need to stop giving a fuck what anyone thinks and just be themselves.

The problem I see with that kind of advice is that, for example, what if being myself involves wearing tuna fish in my shoes? I'm being myself, but nobody would want to be around me if that was truly how I felt most comfortable. I know that's a little ridiculous and an extreme example, but I think you could understand where I'm coming from.
[–]bonix 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
I'm telling you that there would be a tuna foot lover out there somewhere for you if that was truly your passion. Also having a passion for something, no matter how silly is always a good thing. Maybe you prefer only the freshest caught tuna, maybe you catch them yourself. You'll probably find a whole group of tuna foot people you can hang out with. That's the point about being your self, if you are truly happy and passionate then that will be attractive to people.

This is the most excellent response I've ever been given, and I've made this comment many many times. Thank you.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yup. I agree.
[–]lItsAutomaticl 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The dude is asking for people's opinions on the situation, trying to gather collective experience. There's nothing wrong with that.
[–]JacobMoogberg69 38 points39 points40 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
My friend in high school got laid like that several times. Mostly with girls a year older so it didn't make sense that they were studying together because they would have different course material.
[–]kittybrehbreh 15 points16 points17 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The girls liked him that’s why. Otherwise they wouldn’t want to “study”
[–]glyep 34 points35 points36 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
First off, drop the beta and alpha nonsense and never look back.
2nd - you’re in the friend zone with any girl/ anybody until you tell them in some shape or form you’re interested romantically. Simple as that.

[–]MycolNewbie 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Depends how you approach the situation. Get some jokes and charisma out there.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
While studying flirt a little bit (not too much bc studying is important) and if she seems to enjoy it go from there, if not you might be friend-zoned. But that’s not a bad thing, she definitely has friends you can get to know as well!
[–]jalijali24 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Thanks for all the help! If it goes well enough shoukd I ask to do it again tomorrow? Or only let her ask
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If it’s clear you both had fun you can wait a bit to see if she’ll ask and if not just take the lead, if she is interested she’ll say yes
[–]Narcan9 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
How long does studying take? 30 minutes or an hour? Depends on the logistics but you could ask her to stay and watch a movie or TV show after you finish. Then see if she's willing to get close on the sofa or bed, cuddle up. Don't try to escalate while studying.
Otherwise as things are winding down before she leaves, ask if she wants to do something on another night like watching movie, go to the park, or something. Whatever you kids do these days.
How old are you?
[–]SavageMakaveli 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not at all. It's a chance to spend time together, and y'all are doing something productive, with a chance for things to advance further with her. Take the opportunity to flirt with her and maybe even more lol. Idk if u in high school or college, but it's definitely a chance for y'all to get physical too. Don't rush things. But don't miss your chance either. Be the man. If she seems like she's on the same page as u, then see where u can take it
Especially since she asked u to quiz her or whatever. She's probably into u as well, and wants to give u a chance to make the move. It's alone time together. Take the opportunity
[–]DakiAge 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
For example I had a girl that I’m kinda flirting with ask me if I can quiz her for her exam and I of course said yeah. She’s gonna come over tonight but I just wanna make sure I didn’t do something too beta by accepting
She might have asked that to you as an excuse to have sex with you so it's not something "beta".
But, asking for people's opinions about these things is "beta".
You would already know what is what if you were an "Alpha".
[–]Mshalopd1 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
So many dudes have gotten laid in this situation lol. Best bet is go, have fun, make jokes, try to escalate if it feels good and see what happens. Worst case you get some studying done. Best case you get studied...🤣
[–]caesarfecit 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Depends on the vibe and the context. Studying with you one-on-one at your place... Girls aren't stupid.
[–]YetzirahToAhssiah 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No way does that have to be friend zone, dude. A girl used studying to seduce me once.
Just work with the usual stuff, eye contact, a little light kino. Focus on the vibe, not where you'd categorically place studying.
Thanks for all the help all. If it goes well enligh should I ask to do it again the next day? Shes taking a diff course and I’m free in the evenings so I don’t really care about helping her like I’m fine doing it Cus it helps me get with her
[–]DeltaKnight17 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Make a move today, see how it goes. If you do you'll know what to do... and if not update us
[–]rightkindofhug 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just flirt a bit tonight and then at the end of the evening ask her out on a date.
Never study with a girl. She'll expect you to do her work for her.
She has an agenda. It's to use you, so she doesn't have to work as hard.
Hard pass. Get your own grades up and succeed. They just want to drag you down to help them.
Cheers.

23m btw
[–]jalijali24 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Thanks y’all and I just wanna confirm
Is it simping or bad if I ask her if she wants to do it again the next day?
Normally I wouldn’t care if it’s simping or not but I’m helping her for her exam like it doesn’t really help me rn
[–]lildudefromXdastreet 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Why are you even thinking about three next day? Focus on the task straight ahead and make your move when she comes over today.
[–]HughBeaumont500 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Plot twist: studying for sex Ed class
[–]No-Department6252 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
this question is bordering on beta.
[–]gzazchrist -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Remember, it's either you guys vibe or nah. If you invite her to study, it's a nice opportunity for you guys to vibe with each other.
[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
if you're studying her ass than nah
[–]PoPoChao[🍰] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Try to make a move.
[–]justmuro 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wait so a girl invited herself over to your place and your wondering if it’s friend zone? Seems like open season boys
[–]Marcothy_ 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would say make a small move. Maybe try to hold her hand if you have the opportunity and see how she responds. Worst case scenario you guys stop talking completely, but in my experience at least the times things didn’t play out like I had hoped didn’t end with us not talking anymore
[–]kittybrehbreh 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ask her to study. Escalate. Keep things fun. Go get em champ
Take a break or two to give you a chance to just be social / goof around. Cook up a quick dish, show off a hobby, photo, or something that carries a story... You know, things that show your personality that you wouldn't be able to during class.
Good luck and have fun!
[–]jaredhasarrived 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Here's something most of ya'll don't know.
Don't overthink it. Just have fun in the moment.
It's a good opportunity for you to flirt with her and establish something. Just relax and have fun, if you're on that level with her already no need to rush it. Make other plans with her before you leave, create a situation later on where you can "seal the deal".

Yes it is.
