Asking a girl if she likes me

I think, the best thing you can do is play to HER strengths. If she is solitary, do something solitary (I am not being perverted). Why not offer to study together in a library or something? It seems to me that as she is not really outgoing, the best thing is to let it come naturally. If she likes you, maybe you will be able to break a barrier and go to the movies with her or maybe just go for a walk. If she feels that you are someone she can be alone with, then you can talk more openly.

However, if you think that it is time to break the silence, do it gently so that you can get a feel for what the situation is and can back out without too much embarrassment.

Yeah, that is a pretty sensible and logical response to be fair, cheers.

Could offer to study together, I do a different course but I would be happy doing that. But if she doesn't like me, it might seems a bit desperate(?) that I would offer to study with her just to spend time with her, so maybe I should be sure of her feelings more beforr that.

When I offered to go to a film she said she really wanted to see Black Panther, came up again yesterday in convo whilst we were playing badminton and she said she didn't go with her friends when they went to see it (after we first talked about it).

Maybe I could message her one time asked if she wants to go for a walk when I am coming back from the gym/sports centre as I pass hers omw

How best would I break the silence? I figured mentioning my dates and saying, I just thought I'd rather be doing them with you sounded nice but wouldn't lead me to finding out

From what you've written it seems she's into you. I think you should ask her directly, face to face, rather than online. Maybe slowly bring it up in an already established conversation..? Just be confident in yourself

Are you going to uni as well, or are you in a full-time job? If you go to the same uni it might get awkward if she rejects you but idk

But hey ho, I’m pretty sure she likes you back anyway 😊

This is great. She wants to go and see Black Panther, so take the opportunity - she asked to see it, so you won’t seem desperate. The reason for doing the study in a public library is that it is disguising your approach to her, you are not in her room or anything, so she thinks nothing awkward can come of it. If she says no then you sort of know what she feels, i.e. she isn’t quite ready, but if she says yes then you are one step up the ladder, and best of all, it won’t interfere with your or her daily study.
You do have to be really careful though not to let her think of you as too much of a best friend. I think if you leave it too long, then she might start just seeing you as her BFF; I would say, leave a maximum of two weeks before making an official date.
The worst thing you could do is store it up inside you, it could leave you feeling depressed and you will probably lose your drive. If you feel you can’t hold it in then take advantage of the passion and say it in person. This may seem old fashioned, but written words can be misinterpreted a lot easier.

Best of luck

Flirt a little. If she reciprocates, you're in.

Send her nudes, if she doesn't call the police then she likes you.

why wait to ask her? she could die next week and you'd feel guilty for years, no point waiting just tell her!

Just plainly, 'Do you like me?' would be awkward if not, even if she said yeah would rather ask more subtly

Black Panther is excellent by the way :P

It is the best Marvel film in a while. They have finally figured out that it is better not to make extemely serious films.

We have in person plenty, that's why I am confused with the rest of what I said
