Therein lies the dilemma. I am so used to the logical, predictable, and static nature of computer programming and business analysis. :wink:

It will definitely take some getting used to gaining more experience with that emotional, dynamic side of myself, but it is certainly something that deserves attention sooner than later.

I thank everyone, especially the women and NT's, for the input given in this thread. It's certainly not concrete enough to satisfy my love for certainty, but I still feel much more confident going in knowing that I at least picked up on the signals and can identify the friendly interest. Ahead lies a call to a journey out of my social comfort zone, but it is certainly a journey worth exploring. :)

She obviously seems to be interested in talking to you. Keep talking to her, and see if she gives off more body language that might indicate that she likes you more than a friend.

Good news! I asked her after class, and she said yes to eating dinner. She was busy today, but she gave me her number and we have a time set up to meet and eat Tuesday after class. :D

Turns out she already has a boyfriend, but it lists her as single on facebook. Like, seriously, people don't make any sense to me. :roll:

That does seem kinda weird, but perhaps she doesn't use or update her Facebook too often. Sorry though, that sucks man.
