So there's a freshman girl from my phil class with whom I had a short conversation while walking around campus after class. It went well so I got her number and texted her, intimating that we should hang out sometime (likely a mistake to show that much investment from the get go in retrospect). She said sounds good but since then we've exchanged texts like once a day (today no response) and I am feeling like I'm making her uncomfortable. And right now I'm less afraid of her not reciprocating interest (which is a trivial and obvious matter, and one that I care less about) but that she'll drop the class entirely due to what she perceives as a creepy upperclassmen hitting on her and feeling no other way out of the situation. I am this close to sending her a text saying 'Sorry if I was being too much, don't get the wrong idea, I just wanted to get to know you, but if not mutual that's cool', because one time a girl completely changed her tutoring hours because of my interest. I am also weighing the option of just not giving a fuck whether she drops the class or not, and just taking it on the chin and moving on (I guess that's the most masculine, independent option I could proceed with, but knowing myself if she dropped the class I'd be mired in self-loathing and guilt).
