Hi bluesummer
"What? Of course I didn't just give my number out to guys only, and certainly not to every single one that missed a class, or even only attractive ones."
AHA. So you do confirm that you are very SELECTIVE with people to whom you entrust your mobile number! (People who might appear of certain interest or appeal in some way even if on intellectual level?) Very true, why would anyone give their number to just about anybody? (Especially to someone who looks like they might eat your entire family - my link)
So basically, you give out your number with friendly intentions. To stay in touch, catch up on some studies from now and then that type of thing, be friends so to speak, right? Funny thing about being friends (As opposed to being strangers) with somebody is that, you never know what can happen between two people when they spend time with each other (Especially when there are certain interests and common interests in play). Sometimes the more time you spend with the person the more you get repulsed by that person and the more you just want to get away. Sometimes the more time you spend with the person the more you start to find that person interesting and in some ways attractive. I am discussing the scenario of strangers to friends to possibly something else development here (No rushing, no going past the telling signs).
It is quite possible for Klip to get disenchanted with this girl once they both start seeing each other as friends and he himself may not want to pursue this any further.
"The way I see it, if I offer some dorky looking guy my notes, and he wants to read into it, that's his problem." by bluesummer
So what, if the dorky looking guy did some work on himself and asked you to catch up on some studies outside of study hours and turned up looking like this
http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id...520370&intl=us and you just happened to be single at the time, are you saying you would be completely cold and uninterested? (And tell him things like "Look, just so both of us are on the same level, there is no chance in hell a guy like you could ever BE with me"). Getting back to the original Klip's question "Think she is interested?", no one is proposing jumping head over heals here, but to acknowledge that there is SOME form of interest here (From both parties) and that this interest should be explored to find out if this can be taken further.
I think i may have over generalized when i said "Noone in their right mind would give out their number just to be a little bit helpful". But, in doing so you do impower the other partys to A. Develop relationship outside of colledge with you, using joint study as the reason B. Become friends with you. C. Once friends, try to seduce you in a very laid back/friendly manner (And if that fails, take steps back). Should they or shouldn't they be doing that, thats a whole different question that will vary greatly between individual preferences.
Okay it's probably too late now, but i should warn you I am a terrible person to argue with. My stuborness knows no boundary and has no equal (It probably won't surprise anybody that i'm a Taurus), so i would like to apologise in advance
