Normally I couldn't care less about dating and the like, but given my boredom (even though I've been so busy) I figured I'd ask the girl of my fancy to homecoming. I realized that I have no clue what homecoming entails or how interested I might be in going regardless of company, so I was actually kind of relieved when she said that she already had plans for that day. A friend told me that her response meant definite rejection, and it seems that he's right.

I go to my Lutheran church on Wednesdays to play bass in the music group that plays a few songs during the Wednesday service. I'm not sure how much I agree with the subject matter (I'm mostly agnostic), but it's really fun to play those songs. Now, before these services, the church hosts a dinner every night. At tonight's dinner, a girl who must have been trying to get my attention for a few weeks now at these services walks over to me while I'm eating and asks me for help with her math homework. I'm in calculus and she's in algebra, so when I review her homework I can't help but think "Only an idiot couldn't understand this."

Anyway. After I'm done helping her with her math homework, she starts asking me a bunch of questions like where I plan to go to college and what classes I'm in. After almost every one of my answers she says something along the lines of "that's so cool." I don't ask her any questions like she's been asking me, because frankly I'm more interested in my delicious spaghetti. At some point she thanks me for helping her with her homework and leaves.

This may be a very, very dumb question, but was she flirting with me? I have no idea. Like I already said, dating and having a girlfriend has never interested me much (I've never been on a date, never asked a girl out until today, etc...), and consequently have no idea if she was just striking up a casual conversation or was flirting.
