For some context: We are both students taking physiology and we have grown pretty close since it's a hard class theres some struggle. We usually either get something to eat after class or get some coffee or boba together every now and then. We have gotten ramen, coffee, boba, ice cream before. Shes even taken me to little tokyo i currently dont have a car due to a car accident and she does and doesnt mind driving me home from class as well. I hate asking for things so when she offered I really appreciated it. I really enjoy our friendship but jesus i am so sexually attracted to her. I dont want these feelings to disturb our relationship now. I realize how lucky I am to have a friend like this who just offers help and is so kind and someone who initiates spending time together. She has mentioned wanting a relationship before but she also mentions that she likes white guys, im latino, and shell sometimes point out guys she thinks are cute. Ive heard girls do this to get a reaction and I usually just dont think about it too much and talk about a girl i think is attractive. I really like making her laugh she kinda slaps my arm or will grab me if i say something funny so i def think there is some attraction but i think our views on dating are different right now. She has only been in one relationship at least thats what shes told me but she is very much a homebody and isnt a club or bar girl which I am. I love dancing i go to festivals im v comfortable being in public and i can tell at times she gets anxious. Im not looking for a relationship which is one reason im scared to escalate things. I know what I want is casual fun friends with benefits sort of thing and I dont want to hurt her which ive had issues with in the past. I want to escalate to a relationship like that with her and im not sure if its what she wants or if she would be like super disgusted by that idea.

Today we went to a mall that has a movie theater and saw challengers. When I got into her car she said I smelled good and asked what I was wearing. I thought that was a good sign. It was a great movie and there were scenes that were intense and we held on to each other for some of them and we went to eat ramen after. Everything went really well i didnt want the day to end though but she said she had to go study and I wanted to respect her time so I didnt suggest spending more time together but as im looking back on it now I should have. I mentioned i wanted to go to the gym and how I would probably not study if i did and she said not to worry about it as we have a week still before the test. That probably could have been a good time to ask if she wanted to come with me but i didnt. I wanted to kiss her so badly throughout the whole day i just never said anything though. I want to invite her dancing with me i think I would feel comfortable then i feel out of my comfort zone sometimes with her but I like it. Would it be a good idea to invite her to a club? she describes herself as very grandma like and asleep at 10pm so I wouldnt take it personal if thats not her thing I get it but we generally do stuff she likes and i would like to introduce her to a little bit of what im into.
