Does this girl like me?

I started college in England about 5 weeks ago and I started to like this girl in one of my class a couple of weeks ago. I added her on Facebook and we usually talk 3 days out of 4 with her starting the conversation about the same number of times I do. Recently we have been messaging each other for longer sending one another about 6 x's a time and a variety of emoji's usually the winky face 😉, one of the monkey ones 🙈, and one of the smiling ones ☺️. When we are in class we usually stare at each other when the other isn't looking and smiling and laughing together when we make eye contact. But the thing is she doesn't really speak to me in person, so I am not convinced she likes me. We have a lot of shared interests and seem to get on great via messaging but she doesn't seem that confident to talk to me. Any responses will be much appreciated. Also what should I do next should I ask her if she wants to go out for lunch one day or what. I'm 16 by the way

If I were in your situation, I'd be under the same impression too. Just be careful not to confuse certain emoji's for physical feelings, as I've often found that it is their personality type to use them, sometimes without any intended emotion. But as for staring at each other with smiling and laughing, then I think it is very likely that she likes the person she texts, so I'd say get to know her better as a person, because ultimately if you want to date her or such, physical interaction will be required. In my opinion, be the Gentleman, treat her like a the lady you feel she is, make her comfortable around you and be able to see who you really are. As for asking her out, something like lunch or so never hurts, but I strongly recommend being comfortable to talk in person, and I'd maybe do a coffee shop date, because I like to keep first dates a bit shorter. Good luck man.

Possibly, but I would try to get to know her better.
All the best bud

Congratulations there buddy. Well I would be mindful. She seems to be interested in you only when chatting online, not so much in person. If she did like you more than a friend she would talk to you in person. Plan B would be she is waiting for you to ask her to hang out when you see each other in person. Ask her to go get coffee or for a nice walk round town.

I don't think that you can read too much into small mannerisms of online talking, such as emojis. It sounds like she is shy to speak to you in person maybe, who knows. The only way to find out is to speak to her more, in person, or maybe even bring up the subject of how she views your relationship while messaging her. It sounds like she may be interested, so maybe ask her if she wants to go out for a coffee and chat or something, not necessarily romantically, just as a casual encounter between friends. See where it takes you.

Good luck.

Ok we are texting now and she sends me this �� kissing emoji and has asked me if I want to go to a theme park with her, has the situation changed at all?
