There are over 3 billion women in the world, and many of them are both attractive and intelligent. Don't get too hung up on a single person. And let me tell you a dirty little secret: all animals have built-in behaviors that limit populations. For most mammals, it's the existence of a mating season. For humans, it's that men and women drive each other nuts and make each other miserable. Go ahead and date this and other girls, and go ahead and fall head over heels during the fantasy romance phase of the relationship, but don't do anything stupid like get married to someone you didn't really know and had unrealistic expectations of, only to end up in a situation where you spend all your time in the garage or watching TV and shunning your wife and she criticizes and seeks to change you all the time. That's the way an unfortunate majority of relationships end up, you know.
Ok, so you've decided to ask her out on friday (which saves me from making the suggestion, as Knife and Mike beat me to it ), now you just need to push things in your favour. You mentioned that a female friend of yours already knew about this flirting... this is gold my friend. Tell her during the week that your thinking of asking the young lady out to see if things can go further and that you will be hoping to get her Phone number as well.
1. This ensures you have some moral support.
2. Don't be surprised if the young lady your interested in develops mazing psychic powers and not only is ready for you to ask her out but has her phone number written down ready to hand to you. The Grapevine can be your friend and a powerful tool, use it!
BTW, how do you think she got your number? Did she ask? Or did a 'friend' provide it?

On the Friday driving home (I take her home because it's 9:00pm and public transport is not safe and it's lonely as well), she seemed enthused by the idea that she was flirting with me.
Different story Monday- basically she said she didn't really like the idea of me going out with this girl that much for a number of reasons- she was obviously afraid of offending me and said so but I didn't care, I've known her for 5 years and she means much more to me than someone I've known for the equivalent of a few hours. Still- it's precisely *because* I don't know this girl that well that I am willing to give it a shot- I may be surprised or disappointed, but nothing ventured is nothing gained.

She asked me for it in a "so we can talk about uni group work" context- like a dumbass I gave it without asking for the favor back.

Very true...nice fram of mind to keep and have.

Oh well, here's hoping I haven't totally misread.
True...but then ask again, because you missed it the first time(yeah it sounds awkward but I've done it couple times and they never considered it intrusion...though to yourself it makes you feel rather foolish)

Isn't it possible he meant this as a joke, even with the lack of smilies? I mean, I've seen far more tasteless comments go by on here before.
If he means it for real, that's different, but if it's a joke... *shrug*

Even so, as the resident tasteless joke artist, I'm declaring this a tasteless joke.

No, I meant it quite seriously. I'm not sure what "philosophy" of dating this is, but is a realistic, and based upon my actual college experiences.
Lemme break this down for you - college, and school in general, is a very busy time. Guys (and girls) are focused upon getting an education, and forced relaxation in the "breaks".
You have to make the most of the time and the money that you have in order to make the most of precious little of both that you have.
So, in order:
1. Never spend more than $40
If you are in college, you, at best have a part time or "labor-intensive" full time job. So, with books, tutition and all the other stuff, I doubt he has lots of money to burn. So, $40 is a logical limit. What can you do? Coffee shops, picnics, study dates, fraternity parties - a whole lot of stuff. Heck, I bet more than one "Black Angus" has a "Happy Hour". You can treat a girl to a fine time at a happy hour. If she wants to go someplace nice, you can offer to split it. If she balks, its obvious that she has no interest in you, only what your money can provide.
2. If you haven't gotten laid by the third date, dump her.
You ask any girl (being honest) and she will tell you she decides on sex with a person right in the beginning. So if he wants to go out with you, that means that (under the right circumstances, she might consent to sex). If by the third date you haven't found the right circumstances in three dates, toss her back into the water, metaphorically speaking. Now, if your religion precludes pre-marital sex, then substitute "going steady" for "getting laid" and it still works. By the third date, you should have a good idea.
When Rebecca and I were dating, I routinely skipped classes in order to get some. You can always check out one of your study partners' notes or read the text afterwards.
Haven't you often been heard to speak on the hellish nightmare of engineering classes and how you can't miss one?
Or are you talking about non-engineering classes?

In taking Mechanical Engineering, you have wonderful hard classes like "Fluid Mechanics", "Aerodynamics", "System Analysis", etc.
And then you have Materials I & II
And Production Management I & II
Believe me, some classes are an insult to your intelligence. It's better just not to go there.
Production Mgt - I aced the final in record time. While the class spent its time creating formula's to meet production. I graphed it, then got the equation from the line like an eighth grader.
There were people that didn't speak to me for days after that. The prof laughed. Then he wrote me a whale of a recc'd. letter.

Funny as hell.
I had 18/20 in the final exame. The classes were a waste of time. The idiots teaching us never realize that we learn all the necessary math for the fucking chair in the first year of college, and that a week study is more than enough to memorize the theorical concepts they hold so dear.
