Hi everyone, new here.
Its currently week eight (I know...) in my college courses (third year student) and there is this cute girl that I'm interested in in my class. Not hook up only etc. but like actually hang out and so on..
So she was in my English class a year and a half ago but I'm not sure if she remembers me (we talked only the first day because the prof made us and my confidence was non existent). Now she's in my current sophomore english class and we just started talking consistently a week or so ago. I'm no good at talking to girls I'm attracted to (honestly I feel I can attract girls I'm not interested in great because I shut down when she's cute) so it's only been small talk about random stuff.
The thing is that I can't tell is if she likes me. She sits next to me. In the first couple weeks she kind of hovered around in my proximity. I sit in the back and sort of center to the teacher. Its only a 30 student class and people kind of pick a seat and dont move around much. Now she is sitting next to me and I don't know if it's partially because of me or because she has a fellow Russian girl/ friend I guess she made that sits in front of her.
I've watched a couple youtube vids about stuff to try to recognize signs but I'm shy and bad at it. We've joked about stuff almost every class. I've teased her about being a bad student. I dont notice any head tilt ?IOI's? and she hasn't hit me or touched my arm etc. She's initiated conversation after I sat down before class once or twice. It seems like I talk to her the most in that class but I can't figure it out.
Basically, where should I go from here to not get friend zoned? I wanted to get more confirmation that she's interested before I say hey lets hang out because I haven't really noticed anything saying she's interested but I have "bitch butterflies" all the time so..
Side note- I found her on twitter and her profile is blocked but she has a photo of her and a guy, then on a site called twtrland or somethin, it shows random posts, some talking about a bf, but they are 4 months old and it doesn't show anything recent. Soo...I dunno what the status is on that..
If she does have a bf, should I make this a learning experince and try something? (IF so, what?) I don't really want it to be awkward between us because she's the only person I really talk to anyways. Not interested in chatting with the others around me. I can be social but just don't really feel like being friends with those that are around me. And I know there are more girls in the world, I just wanted to try her because she's really cute and Russia!! (sexy

)
I'll see her again friday (mon, wed, fri) so what shall I do?!
