Not sure about this girl in my class.
So I'm in my second semester at a new community college. There's this girl in my math class who has been showing signs that she likes me, at least that's what my NT friend tells me when I tell him about it. She started talking to me, then moved to seat closer to me, always talks to me, listens to music with me on my ipod, and other things that are not coming to mind right now. Anyway, she just called me and asked me to ditch class with her to go see some music recital thing in the music building and I agreed to go.
I'm just nervous and have anxiety right now because my only experience with these kind of things is the one date I've ever been on years ago. I'm not even sure if I like her yet. I'm sorry, I'm not even sure what I'm trying to get at or ask here, maybe advice or something. I've just been focusing entirely on school, and this was unexpected. Am I just worrying over nothing?

If you know she digs you, you really shouldn't have anything to worry about. Just keep in mind that she likes and remain confident. And be cool. Be Fonzie cool. Ayyyyyyy!
CAUTION!! Follow your instinct of feeling uncomfortable about this. Everybody here seems to say jump on that pony! You have nothing to lose! You have EVERYTHING to lose! Keep your mind on your work. If you're like me, you just may lose your heart and much worse - your mind over somebody you didn't even like in the first place. Then you end up depressed and OUT of college with your dreams of a better life all smashed up. Keep your guard up. Some girls go to college to snag a husband with a sure future - their own education is just an incidental. Some try to hook these guys by getting pregnant. When these guys are finished school, the girl's family EXPECTS him to marry their daughter. A lot of girls are just simply afraid of school, life and success and would rather sit home and let you do all the work and support them. Pay heed to what I'm saying to you. Think only of yourself. Once, you are finished your education and are settled, you can take romantic risks because you have already achieved your own personal success. You MUST put yourself first until you have reached your goal. I gave the same advice to my son who is 25 now. He listened and has achieved a good station in life. My 13 year old did not listen and suffered a lot of pain and public humiliation. He did learn finally but had to learn the hard way. My college-age nephew got held back from his education for more than two years supporting a girl who had a baby that wasn't even his. He was gullible and trusting. He was VERY hurt but got over it and went back to school. Now, he's an apprentice engineer for an aerospace firm. If that baby was his, it would have taken him more than 15 years to do what he did in just 3 years. A lot of guys can be with a girl and not get truly involved - they just go for the sex. YOU might be different. I don't like it that she asked you to ditch class. That's a VERY bad sign of someone that's unstable. She's a music head and goes to a community college? WTF! She's on a downward spiral and wants to take you with her. I'm not putting community colleges down. I went to one myself and the majority of students there were wasting their parents' money or the government's money. Most dropped out. You're better off with an introverted intellectual who REFUSES to miss class. There are many demure, beautiful women in 4 year universities who wouldn't DARE miss a class to go to an amateurish music recital. Think about it? She thought only of what she wanted to do at that moment. What about you? Were you supposed to be SOOO taken back by her that you missed your OWN class to be with her? Who's she? Rihanna or Kesha? Really?! You'd better buy a condom machine for this one!! Don't let the idea that you may be lonely cause you to think that this is SO great because many of us Aspies are lonely - it's no excuse to lay down with a dog. You'll get fleas.
She just might be cheating on her guy with you because she found out he was. I SMELL a RAT! And so do you. You know it. That's why you posted.
You're assuming far too much about this girl and the dynamics of their relationship based on a post. A young person needs relationships to build developmental and coping skills when dealing with others.
Perhaps having a relationship will fulfill his needs and sense of purpose better than being an aerospace engineer or rocket scientist.

I posted because I have no idea what to do in these situations. But, I know I shouldn't miss class, I just agreed to because no girl has ever asked me to go do something with them, but I have no plans to willingly miss class again. I was even hesitant to say yes, but whatever. I may have poor instincts when it comes to judging character, but I don't feel she's the type of person you described. But hey, I may be wrong, although I don't think I am. You're right that there's a lot of people who are not serious at community colleges. I'm going there to get my general eds done so I can transfer to a 4-year. But, you say to follow my instinct about feeling uncomfortable about this, and that it's because I smell a rat. I'm simply uncomfortable because it's an unfamiliar situation to me, but I will take caution like you said. Plus, I usually get a little nervous around girls.

are you joking here

Yeah, or do this, too.
Heh, it's funny, when a girl expresses interest in me, it's a combination of "You sure?" and "Why would you wanna do that?" I don't know, I tend to be really "testy" with girls, as with a woman, you put a lot on the line, especially once you get sexually involved (that's why premarital sex is a bad idea, I know obviously in practice, everyone has it, but really, waiting for marriage would be best for society/etc, just it's hard and I highly doubt my willpower to not have it.) I figure if a girl is going to get put off by my oddness or whatever in a few minutes, I don't know, in between class, then how will we have a relationship or be married when she'll be around me all the time?
Thanks for all the advice guys. There really was no reason for me to worry about it. Here's a little snippet from our conversation as we walked over to the recital hall:
"Blah blah blah my boyfriend blah blah blah..." Then the guy shows up to watch the thing with us.
Oh inability to figure people's intentions correctly, why do you hate me. Well this is the second time something like this has happened. Oh well, I didn't let it ruin my day.

I can never tell either, if they are hitting on me, I think they are just being nice.

Yes, exactly. I tell my friend about stuff that happens (not that stuff happens often) and he says oh she likes you or she's just being nice, but I can never tell the difference!

So, you gonna ride that pony? (At least we can tell it's a pony, err, I mean girl.)
If that means sex, then I wouldn't think so.
