Search Results: he chats with other women

So, there is this girl that I go to school with. She majors in Animation. This detail will be relevant in a bit.
If I'm honest, she is one of the most beautiful, adorable, lovely women I've ever met. But we don't know each other that well. We do get along as I work in my school's media resource center and she used to come by quite often for a stylus for the tablet computers we have, and we would chat a bit then, but mostly just "Hi, how are you" types of convos. We haven't interacted much in the last year or so because she got her own stylus, but when we see each other we still smile and wave and such.
The reason why her being an Animation major is important is as thus: she's probably the most beautiful of them all. This will sound rude, but most of the other ladies in our Animation department are far less attractive for a variety of reasons, not just looks. But this girl is both beautiful and nice, so naturally she gets a lot of attention. The guys in our Animation department aren't... Well, most of them are really not mature. But they fawn over her day in and day out.
I really want to get to know her better, but I'm worried that all of the unnecessary attention she gets from those guys might make her less likely to want more. I saw her today and she gave me the cutest smile and wave and all I want is to ask her out. Should I go for it? I'm also worried I'm not her type... But that's a concern for another time.
