Hey, everyone.

I have read books and been following the community of pick ups and the mystery method for a long time through videos, tv shows, books, etc.
About myself, I am 20 years old and would definitely classify myself as an AFC. I have modeled my avatar pretty well, though. I am a gym rat, have a muscular physique and wear "tight" shirts, bracelets etc. So I am physically confident and this is demonstrated in my body language. Now, I am somewhat shy -- mainly my energy level is not very high, my personality is more on the down low.

There is this girl in my class that I am very attracted to. She sits the seat next to me everyday and we do talk regularly about the class, etc. The problem is she seems very reserved and the conversation will occasionaly die down,etc. it is also not meaningful at all. I tried asking her what she would do on a weekend, etc, bvut she mainly replies with a "nothing." So, I try to engage her, but she tends to keep it short and rarely engages me. When she does, it is mainly comments about the lecture.

The problem I am having is I had a class with her before, and from a distance she also seems very closed off and quiet. I am not sure is she is being that way because she is shy and does not know what to say or if she is showing disinterested.

We do rub elbows a lot in class, I have touched her hand briefly and she also touched mine when discussing notes, but eye contact is lacking.
So, I need your advice, how can I escalate this girl? I don't want to come forth as annoying since she sits right next to me and it may be awkward in the future. I think a few compliaces test would do the job. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I was thinking about asking her to give my hand for whatever reason or something along the lines of, "my hands are freezing, and put it out to see if she grabs it."

Please I need advice.

I am no pro, but you really just need to overcome your approach anxiety. If you sit next to her, at the end of class, just ask her if she wants to work on an assignment with you. Or see if maybe she wants to get together for coffee and study for a test.

Something like studying or coffee will seem very non threatening, and then when your sipping on your latte at starbucks, you use that opportunity to get to know her better. If you want a little kino, just touch her on the shoulder to get her attention as you ask her. It really doesn't need to be something too complex.

If she says no, just respond with something C&F like "Oh thats fine, I just thought you could use a little help was all" then throw her a little wink (the wink makes you not a douche btw) and then walk away. good luck man.

Hey, I'm in college right now, and I've been in your shoes before. I think the best thing for you to do is to escalate. I agree with Rosewood. You just need to ask for her number. If she responds positively, then that's great. From there, just ask her to get coffee or something, but make your intentions clear. Don't try to mask your intentions.

If she responds negatively or says she has a boyfriend, then that's okay too. You can either continue to pursue her with bf destroying material or go after some other girl.

Thanks guys. Approaching her is not a problem. We talk as classmates, discussing problems, etc. The problem is that she seems very dry when talking to me, and does not want to find out any information about me. For instance, I have asked her what she would do that weekend, how her weekend was, and even tried a gambit, but she does not inquire about me and is very succint in her replies. Yet, I feel as though she is comfortable touching me, but verbally it is not at all good. She also strokes her hair and puts her pencil in her mouth often, but it is hard to know if it is an IOI since we are not at a bar and this might just be a habit.

I agree that asking if she wants to study might work later on when the course gets thougher, but do you guys of any compliance test or interest test I can use?
