Search Results: signs that she wants to be chased

A week ago I walked away from her when she came up to say hi at a party (stupid I know) and overheard her talking to her friends how she must not be my type.
Yesterday she came up to me and my group of friends and pulled me away to go study with her as everyone watched on and in particular the guys that have been chasing her for a while. This is VERY forward and out of the ordinary.

Today she seemed distant and I essentially got the cold shoulder. I mean she occasionally looked over to me and at one point we were leaning on each other and had a quick little chat before she jumped off. I'll admit the room was packed with people.

My friend who's good with woman gave me a kick up the butt saying I've not picked up on the signs and she's now starting to lose interest.

I want to get her number, ask her out and not be as hesitant but realistically, have I just missed the boat?

I am 19 and my crush is 19 as well. I've been liking this girl for couple of months now. I am a type of a guy who makes people laugh, being positive around people and friendly. I actually have a lot of upper-class friends, a lot of people know me and they actually want me to nominate as the "best freshman of the year", so i guess i have some reputation in the school. Additionally, I am an average looking guy, who has some relationship experiences, and I am 5 foot 7. My crush is Ms. Independent, very beautiful, and a lot of guys chase her. Very stylish, and committed to her studies for now due to the fact that she says she is ambitious. I've been taking/chatting with her for a while casually for 2 - 3 times a week, but I always have to start a conversation :\ We talk about some ordinary, funny stuff, and sometimes some really deep philosophy things. Recently, I had a chance to talk with her alone during a lunch break. I was "studying" with my notes, but I couldn't concentrate lol Then we started talking stuff and at one point I asked her what's her impression of me. Then she replied that I am cute and mysterious. As she said that I blushed, then replied to her that she is actually mysterious as well, and she is one of those miss independent woman. After that we kept n talking until the next class time. I suck at flirting I know lol, but can this mean anything? Or am I just being Mr. Brightside now, and taking this as a sign? P. S I gave her few signs but I don't know if she knows that I am interested on her.
