Right now I'm in the acquaintance zone, but I would really like to talk more and be friends with my crush. He's a sweetheart and also the brightest guy in my class. We have a paper to write and I was wondering if asking him for help on it would be a good way to get closer to him. I do not intend on pretending to be "dumb," but rather just asking for some feedback and revising. The problem is that he knows I'm smart and that writing this paper isn't going to be a huge issue for me, haha, but I'm just asking for a little assistance right? I have to email him to ask because we're not in school right now. And I definitely never see him outside of school so I can't use this as an excuse to "hang out." I'm honestly just looking for an excuse to talk to him because in person I'm a bit more shy because he makes me nervous. The point is that I don't want to come off as creepy. (My previous crush thought I was creepy :/). Am I over thinking this?
Thanks. (link)

No matter how carefully you put it, you are preparing to play dumb. Don't go there! On behalf of all the women ahead of you who had to fight to prove their minds and to be taken seriously, don't go there!
Not to mention, it's a lie.
However, to ask if he'd want to get together so you could proofread and critique each others papers, that's a whole different matter.
------------------------------
It's fine to ask if he wants to join you in a critique of each others papers. Don't email it until he agrees...

Excellent point. So maybe if I send it to him after I've finished writing it and ask for critique it would be less like "playing dumb?"
Thanks :).
