Getting close to crush
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.

No, you are not overthinking, you're just going in the wrong direction. This is a boy you are romantically interested in, so you should hope to catch his attention in that way, not as a student/tutor. School just started, so take it easy for a minute. The best way to get a boy is to make him think he's the one chasing you. All you have to do is give him a couple of flirty smiles for now. No out of the blue emailing because you want your communication to be real life. Neither one of you are looking for a cyber relationship.

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...
