I am shocked.
I really didn't see this one coming, so I'm going to write down the summary of events that happened to see what you all suggest I do about this and to get your views on just what this means.
I don't know what it is about my chemistry class and really hot girls, but it's loaded and I can't understand why. The past few days I've noticed this HB7.5 just eye fucking me hard. So in lab the other day I went up to her and started talking to her. I just said what's up and we talked for a while. It was surprisingly effortless and went well. Her friends even made fun of her a bit for flirting with me. They were like "hey, how bout you quit flirting and help us with the lab?" to which she kinda turned red and left to look at her experiment.
So today i sat down in an area where she usually sits with the goal of getting her number. She sat down next to me. We talked a bit, I negged her just a little and we worked together on some of the problems presented as discussion questions in class. She said something like "Dude, we gotta study together" which I took as a definate IOI. I told her to call me when she wanted to study and we both tenatively agreed on sunday. I gave her my number.
At 5pm today I got a text from her saying the following:
HB7.5: Hey it's Cheeks from chemistry:) I was just wondering if you are available to study on sunday?
Me: Sup Cheeks! I'm deinfately down. See any leathery old ladies yet? (inside joke)
HB7.5: haha yes a lady named __. But I got off early

so i think she will be the only one for the day LOL. So what time is good for you?
Me: It doesn't really matter what time on Sunday.
HB7.5: Do you have a job?
Me: Doing full time school right now. 3 labs this semester!
Me: Is this an interview?
HB7.5: Yeah that's why i was wondering. Nah LOL i just have been curious. That's all
Me: You want my social security number too?
HB7.5: LOL sure if ur rich
Me: Sounds like fighting words to me
HB7.5:

Me: Hey you don't have a membership to ___ gym do you?
HB7.5: I did. I played for a ____ tennis team for 4 years and my high school practice courts were at ____gym. My coach is the owner. But once I graduated I didn't renew my membership. I work out at Xtreme fitness now. Why?
Me: Ahh bummer. I lift at ___gym and swim at ___ gym. I was gonna see if you wanted to be my swimming buddy...too bad
HB7.5: Now you must want my social security number
HB7.5: LOL dang it. It's ok I wouldn't be any fun cuz i can't swim. doggy paddle yes. Swim no

Me: Haha. I'm so gonna make fun of you now!
HB7.5: I don't care. I could kick your ass in tennis though.
HB7.5: I float just fine
Me: Hmm. You might have to prove it to me at the lake
HB 7.5: What that I can't swim?
HB7.5: You can trust me I wouldn't lie
Me: Lol calm down! Omg you're freaking out :p
HB:7.5: No I'm chill I just text hella fast now

And i text without thinking it's like text vomit
HB7.5:

Me: lol you are too much Cheeks. I'm gonna go swim. Try not to think about me too much

ok?
HB:7.5: Oh trust me reading about chemistry is so much more netertaining. But yeah have fun.
Me: Later yo
1.5 hours go by as i swim...
HB7.5: Hey I'm off
HB7.5: Can you talk on the phone?
HB:7.5: Sorry Captain I was texting my friend ___ but I sent it to you on accident

Me: Lol. It's all good. I just got done swimming so I got all your messages at once. Man there are some badass kids in that pool!
HB7.5: Are the tatted up hawaiians?
Me: Lol no! THey're like 8 years old and faster than me!
HB 7.5: LOL how old are u?
Me: 12
Me: Hey, what side of town do you live on?
HB7.5: The ghetto one with the drug dealers
Me: Nice! I'm thinking about going to a coffee place on the west end to prepare a study guide. Would you like to meet up with me?
HB7.5: Sorry dude I'm busy tonight. My boyfriend just got off football practice but another night would be great

Me: Ahh football was fun... No problem. I'll see you on Friday.
I don't get it. Why the hell did she put so much time into texting me with all of these smiley faces (mind you she initiated the conversation) if she has a boyfriend?? At the end i tried to reframe the situation to make it sound like football is something kids play and to make it seem like i'm grown up and I have real priorities now (in reality i like football a lot). I also tried to make it seem like i didn't really care if she had a boyfriend.
What does this all mean? Clearly she cares enough to put some time into our conversations. I just gave her my number today and just talked to her for the first time yesterday. I'm definately confused. Suppose she is interested in me. Did she bring up the bf factor as a shit test? how do i get rid of him?
Thanks for reading to the end.
