<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Today in class a girl spoke out from the back of the room during a psychology discussion about fear of rejection. I noted that I agreed with her point of view, and thought nothing more of it.

After class, I'm in line to speak to the professor. She happens to be ahead of me. We both felt an energy and she turned around and said hello to me. I greeted her and told her that she made some really good points in the discussion. She was open enough with me to mention that she sometimes has a fear of rejection which is why she brought the topic up.

I told her that it's natural to have a fear of rejection, and that she didn't seem afraid when she spoke up from the back of the class. I think she liked that comment because she smiled. We continued to talk for a couple of minutes. We had a few silences during the conversation in line, but it didn't feel uncomfortable at any point.

How can I naturally transition this into something more? How do I know if she likes me in more than a friendly way? I see the irony that the class topic was fear of rejection.

Anyway, suggestions appreciated.
<bot>: Met girl in class.  We have some shared interests and good chemistry, but no direct and clear indicators that she is romantically interested.  How do I proceed?
