What should i do with this girl?

[Georg]

There is this girl in my painting classes that i like. We see each other every week. About 3 months ago i asked for her Facebook account and she gave it , no problem. When we're in class she acts completely indifferent to me compared to the other boys. Maybe a little bit more special since we chatted for a while.

When in class she usually wears headphones and doesn't talk if you don't talk to her first. She's always nice to me, she always chats back very fast on Facebook. She makes some effort to keep the convo going, but she NEVER texts first. If i stop texting her we'll probably stop texting forever. Except this one time when she said she was busy and she'll chat me later and she did.

This one time I asked her out , because i want to get to know her in person ,not trough facebook. But I got rejected. She said she has to study during the winter vacation and the days around Christmas. So we keep on chatting and there's no problem but I started thinking since im rejected ill just let this the **** go and dont chat her anymore. Since she doesnt chat me first we'll probably never talk again.
But i didnt want things to end this way.

Should i tell her how I feel or ask her out again? Because i really like her I keep thinking about her and just cant get over the fact of letting go since she's really smart and pretty. Unlike other times I've been rejected on the first attempt of asking out, i go "Screw this" and move on, i cant in this situation.

She doesnt have lots of guy friends (probably 2 or 3) and i know she doesnt have a boyfriend ,but i always feel like im budding in when i chat to her while she's chatting with her girlfriends. Even though she responds fast and kind.

What do you guys think? I think this is a classic case of "Im not interested ,but im to polite to cut you off" Alt east thats what it feels like. I know she's not doing it for attention ,since she doesnt look for it. And im not friendzoned since i havent been trying to be her buddy and listen to her bullshit problems, I sent mostly flirty texts.

The question is ... should i give this girl a 2nd chance and ask again? Or swallow my feelings , cut of the chats and move on, even though is gonna be super hard.

Hi Georg,
Guys are supposed to text girls first. If the girl messages
you 1st, awesome, still don't count on women to do it
(even if she has feelings for you).

Advice: Try to keep things light and playful like cool
friends, (no stiff and formal relationship stuff)

Also, a rejection is only a rejection if you feel it is.
If she says she has to study around some days it's only
a "not yet" not a forever no.

Try sending her something like:
"Just ate a pancake that changed my life."

and once you spark an emotion, propose a get together for
that same day. Not "sometime" in the future.

Try it out, good luck.
