The next step

[Bert Stare]

Hello again guys.

After this thread http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=183368 I started talking to said girl again over facebook (just some casual fun and about school) and a few days after she invited me to sit besides her on a trip with friends and from this point on, things started to go well again. We were always laughing, high-fiving and stuff. It was like I didn't even have to think about what to say next, everything felt natural and smooth. But over the curse of the next days, things started to slow down more and more and this is where I would like to ask you for advice.
1) What do if you run out of things to say? We talked like 4h a day straight for days, sitting in the car and after the second day it started to get pretty hard to find interesting things to talk about. Epsecially when all your friends (and not so much friends) are listening to every single word. This brings me to my next question:
2) How to isolate her. Once I was pretty close, when we were all alone, besides her ****ing AFC "best friend". He just didn't get that we wanted to be alone, and the whole situation was pretty awkward, but what should I've done? The rest of the group was far ahead and he wouldn't have had any friends there to talk to anyway. I laid my arm around her shoulder but I didn't do anything more, because I wasn't sure how she would react with him around.
3) Kino. When we were walking, she would often walk dirctly besides me and "randomly" rub her shoulder on me. How should I react? I did nothing, which is probably the worst reaction. Should I lay my arm around her? Even in front of the whole group? Should I just start holding hands? What if she rejects me?
4) The last day of the trip was really bad. I was really tired and just wanted to relax and sleep in the car so I didn't really talk much and we basically just sat there without talking much. I once tried to but my arm around her but she said it was uncomfortable and another time I put my hand on her knee, but she was like "don't touch me". I let go, touched her again shortly afterwards as a joke and we both laughed it off (I think?). After the next stop she switched seats to play some game and I continued to sleep. What do you make of how she acts? Did I mess up with my inexperienced and probably pretty clumsy attempts?
5) What is my next step? Should I text her and suggest a date or just a casual meeting (coffe or icecream)? If I texted her, it would be the first time that my intentions are this clear. Should I really put myself out there like this, because I'm not sure if she is sexually interested in me or if she just wants to make me another one of her beta guy friends who orbit around her. Should I wait for her to make a step? How long should I wait?

Please keep in mind that I don't just want to hook up with her (althaugh that would be nice too). She is really great and she is girlfriend material for sure. I don't want to mess this up (oneitis? maybe...)

I know it is a relly long text and probably really confusing, as I'm pretty confused myself (and still tired), but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Lol when you run out of things to say, you might want to start kissing her. That doesn't require any talking, ya know?

Here's my advice: 1) Think about other things ; 2) Invite her somewhere with you so you two can hang out. I'd say movies are alright since you two already have a good rapport, so she's obviously comfortable around you.

Also, you sound very insecure about yourself so, 3) Go build some confidence!

Good luck man!

Oh also, don't worry about being in the friendzone or not. To find out, you must make a physical move on her (e.g. holding her and giving her a kiss). No one can tell you for sure whether you are in the friendzone or not. You must find out yourself.
