I started trying to talk to this cute girl in my classes a few

And right after this, silence. Like, dead silence, neither of us talking, and then I fucking start whispering to myself like I'm retarded or I'm Brick Heck or some shit. And like, these answers may seem long, but they're kinda short or something, something just feels off and I don't know what it is. Her friend usually shows up and talks to us now too, and she asks questions and I feel like the cute girl is just totally detached. I mentioned we didn't have to go to class the next few weeks cause of schedule changes, and the cute girl is just like, "Oh yeah same here". I dunno, maybe I'm overthinking it.

But despite all this, I've still talked to her the past few classes, and the last one she even said hi to me first. I noticed that I'll catch her looking at me more often, it being passing through buildings to get to class or just noticing her quickly look at me from across the room in one of our other classes. So it's not like I'm forcing it, she is acknowledging me now, so the fuck is with this?

Should I keep talking to her? How do I stop being retarded and actually hold a conversation with her?

Blah blah blah
Get to the Bones of what you mean first, young nigga.

You mean like starting the thread off with what I mean?

In all communication, know the core of what you want to get across to others, and think of how best to do that. Everything else is secondary fluff that on text medium can only discourage potential readers; no one cares about the miniature details and backgrounds.
Be direct to save everyone's time.
Which wasnt intended to be, but thats also a cure for ur lil trip on this girl. Just focus on directly expressing exactly what you want, how you want it.
Straight on. That way if u brancg out in a direction u dont like, ur more aware of the fact that its U doing it. Ur in control.

Ight, I'll probably make another more direct thread then. It's just, it's hard for me to explain how I feel about this situation. I feel like she's not interested and the conversations feel like they're cold, one word responses, but no, they're actually not. It's hard to explain.

Relax. You're doing fine. What you are describing is two shy people both trying, awkwardly, to make conversation. Here's a big secret - two un-shy people aren't a whole lot better at it at the beginning.

Stop kicking yourself and don't give up and declare yourself a loser so quickly. Since you talk mainly before class, you have a natural opening to say something like "We don't have time to really chat here. Would you like to get together later? I'll buy the coffee."

You've got loads of things to talk about - you just have to both relax enough to get past the one-sentence barrier. Ask how she likes the class you share. Tell her your favorite or least favorite thing about it - that might inspire her to give her favorite and least. Tell her why you chose this major, what you hope to do with it, what future classes you look forward to or dread.

(What you're doing when you do that is implicitly asking her questions without sounding like an interrogation.)
