    I'm in general agreement. DON"T OVER THINK IT. Just let it happen and ENJOY it. Believe it or not, she's probably already decided if she's interested or not.
    So just play along. It works or it doesn't.

      But just playing along is what I am doing. She talks to me and I talk back. I think most people would argue that this is a bad strategy and that I need to show initiative at some point in order to make things happen.

        All you have to do is smile and return the conversation for now. Down the road, if she hasn't lost interest, just start making the conversation a tad more personal and see where it goes.
        Yes, eventually you'll have to ask her out. But by then you'll already know what the answer will be.

          The whole point--at least, my whole point--is that you should stop trying to "make things happen," because you really suck at that and because relationships are not things you can have control over unless you're a morally repulsive billionaire from a wildly popular but badly written book series.

            OTOH, my wife is the first woman I ever seriously dated and I can't fathom why anybody would want to bother with dating long-term if they had the option to settle down and skip the drama.

                I'm genuinely confused here, because what you all are telling me to do doesn't sound any different than what I'm already doing, yet I am confident that what I'm doing is probably bad. So let me illustrate why I think my actions might need modification. Because she's still a student, she spends most of her on-campus time (when not in class or the TA office) in the astronomy study room. This room is directly adjacent to the TA office. Whenever I walk to my office, I walk past this room.

                My current "strategy" of interacting with my fellow TA is to talk back when she talks to me, and I mean that quite literally. So when I walk past the astronomy study room, I don't look in, don't wave, don't smile, don't acknowledge the existence of anyone in that room in any way whatsoever. My only interaction with her is to talk back when she talks to me. This is clearly a stupid way of going about making a friend. At the very least, if I wanted to reciprocate the interest she has shown in me thus far, when I walk by the study room and see her in there I could say hi and ask how classes are going and that kind of thing.

                I suspect there are a wide variety of other ways I might go about casually enjoying interaction with her that require only a smidgen more engagement than not being mute. Yes?

                  You will bang this chick and it will be a big bang ... at least if your name is Leonard and she is named Penny

                    Yes, then, you should stop ignoring her. I thought that was a given.

                      Yes... VERY BAD. But nobody is really telling you to do exactly what you are doing now.

                      Yes... VERY STUPID. Look in... get her attention, SMILE, say hello, maybe even step in and say ANYTHING.

                      At the very least, if I wanted to reciprocate the interest she has shown in me thus far, when I walk by the study room and see her in there I could say hi and ask how classes are going and that kind of thing.

                      YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But again, be simple at first... smile, say hello, casual conversation... and see how she reacts. Who knows, this may be all you need to do. If things stall, then you may have to step up your game even more... but I expect it won't be necessary if you just do a few simple things.

                      GOOD LUCK!

                        Yes, reading back, my comments seem a touch too passive. But I never said don't smile when you see her. Acknowledging her is a must.

                          Nothing should be taken as a given when it concerns my interactions with humans. I'm very good with cats, though.

                            Honestly, if you walked up to her, gave her a dead mouse, and started rubbing against her while going MRRROOOOOOOWWWW, it might be an improvement over what you have described.

                                But if I don't ignore her, THEY'LL KNOW.
