update.
same same, i think its ok but not progressing. she always says hi and talks to me, thats good, i think just means that she thinks of me as friend.

but thats the issue, i want more. so last time i saw her tried to talk a bit more, but at first all my friends pressure me until i couldnt let out a word and just blindly stare, jialat. so i just stared until she said something, thankfully she did. so i talked to her a bit more, i keep trying to take interest in whats shes doing, but she doesnt give very long replies, a bit dry. so even though i had quite a few things to talk to her about, 70% of the time its silence.
and i notice a few weird things.
1. i ask her something, she replies me 2 sentence, then only elaborates to her best friend whos sitting next to her. cant say im not jealous, but this is expected la, im just another junior while shes her best friend. except that im the one talking to her.
2. she does laugh at the dumb things i say, but i cannot tell what kind of laugh it is.
3. when i asked when shes going clubbing, (since last year she wanted to invite some poeple including me to clubbing, but no one ever went because of miscommunication). maybe she misheard what i asked, since got loud music playing, but she said that clubbing is an activity you usually go with people you are close to, and trust, and would want to get closer with.(she said this in a more agitated way, but not angry. like she wants it to be made totally clear) but when i asked her again whether shes going this sem, she just said very busy, in a more bored tone. which is not wrong, she got a lot of school things going on
interpretation of her signals:
1. shes not comfortable with me, probably after i stared at her for so long. at least i stared at her eyes la not her chest.
2.real laughs because of my attempt at comedy, but again, not comfortable
3. she knows that im interested, and is saying that i have a long way to go still.

am i correct in mind reading? but how to proceed from here? valentines day coming up, should i say something indirectly about it? (what u doing for v day???) or should i just continue on like before, just trying to keep it natural? but problem with second approach is it takes time

thanks bro. for me i think i will take the advice quite a lot of ppl tell me, which is to not try so hard. i am looking at other girls la but none other seem to fit "my type" as much as her... except for a phd student who ta'd once for one of the classes i went to, but age gap a bit big and no more chance to see her. i felt that i should have done something back then? but nothing came to my mind that wouldnt be weird.
