I'm a college guy in my early 20's. I used to have this lab partner that I took five semester's worth of classes with. We'd study for 15-25 hours a week alone together, and I fell for her pretty hard. I never made any kind of move because she had a boyfriend. Eventually she left to study abroad for a year and recently came back.
My question is, how do I do something about this? I saw and spoke to her for the first time in a year today and I treated it pretty much like she'd never left and didn't show much emotion or anything. I have no idea why, considering I was super hyped to see her despite not expressing it outwardly.
It's like I forget how to function around her. I try to avoid texting her as much as possible, I didn't contact her the entire time she was gone, and I went full autist when I saw her.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
I like her a lot and I would like to be in a relationship with her, but I feel like at this point there's no way to accomplish that.
I mean, she seemed happy to see me and our conversations were fine. We're also taking a class and a lab together, so I'll see her a lot over the next semester, but I completely lose my mind when I'm around her.
These things seem so simple when I'm looking from the outside in, but now that I'm in a situation such as this myself, I literally cannot think clearly.
Also, it might be worth noting that I've never had a girlfriend of any kind, so I don't have any experience to go off of.

A little more detail. In the year she's been gone I've put on a significant amount more muscle and I'm pretty sure (although not positive, I should really confirm this) that she's not seeing anyone right now.
Another big problem is that we don't really share any interests other than our major and what careers we want to work toward.

I'm going to bump it once before I go to sleep. Hopefully there'll be something in the morningg

I agree and I want to do something about this, I just don't know what. That's the big problem here.

Ask her if she is seeing anyone. If she says no then ask her if she would like to go see a movie (or any other nonschool related activity couples do on dates). I think she will get the idea that you would like to pursue a relationship without you straight out saying it. This will take a bit of nerve, but it will be worth it.

Wouldn't that make things weird though? Especially if she is seeing someone?

What?

No because you could just say you were curious if she was still with that one guy you mentioned earlier. You can easily switch the topic if she is with someone. If someone said this too me I wouldn't analyze it too much, especially if I wasn't into them. People ask about people's relationship status without being interested all the time, and since you're not some stranger and actually know her it wouldn't be too weird for you to ask at all.
