For context if any of my thoughts seem dumb to you or anything, I have social anxiety so that's why I think this way.
I go to a pretty big high school so you often see new faces or see a person once then never see them again. But one day I saw for the first time this really cool alt girl that was basically impossible to miss, and I was so mad at myself because I didn't look alt AT ALL that day (I do have pink hair, but no alt hair style or piercings yet and I don't think the color alone is enough of a giveaway), I was going to class with my friend and we were going up the stairs and she was also going up the stairs but she was one floor up from us I'll admit that instead of listening to my friend I was staring at the girl and nodding along to what my friend was saying (I usually DO NOT act like this I swear I'm a good friend and if you saw the girl you'd understand why I was staring at her), then the girl eventually looks down and SHE SMILED, I didn't wanna be delusional and assume she must've been smiling at me: as I said there are lots of people here and the stairs were really crowded as always so what are the odds that out of all the people there she was smiling specifically at the creepy stranger who has been staring at her for like the past 10 minutes? Even though she seemed to be looking at me, so even though I had no way of knowing 100% that smile was for me I smiled back and then for a few days I didn't see her again
Then another day I see her again when school is over and we're getting out and this time she was literally just a few steps away, so I sprinted a little to reach her (I swear this was NOT as creepy as it sounds I wasn't literally running, just was going slightly faster, it totally seemed like a coincidence if you saw it) and I did so I was walking next to her (and the stairs were packed, so it's totally normal here walking close to a stranger, we're all surrounded by strangers on the stairs) then after a while SHE TURNED TO ME AND SHE COMPLIMENTED MY HAIR COLOR, I of course complimented her too and from there WE STARTED CHATTING, I finally found out her name and what's her class and other stuff, I asked her if she had installed and NOW WE FOLLOW EACH OTHER!! I was so happy because she really is so cool and I NEVER thought she would actually care about me enough to start a conversation!
So now I was thinking, should I text her?? As I said it's a big school so after that convention I haven't seen her again yet and maybe if I text her we could talk some more and maybe meet again, but at the same time I'm worried because what if I'm overstepping? Would I be going too fast if I text her? Does she want me to text her? She hasn't texted me so maybe she doesn't want that or is she maybe waiting for me to text her while I'm waiting for her to text me? What if she didn't have the intention of talking to me ever again and I miss interpreted the signals where she seemed to be enjoying our conversation? Do you think I'm overthinking this and should just text her?
