It's fun to talk to each other while we draw and paint. I'm friends with everyone there.Around the end of last year, a new student showed up. She was quiet and shy and nervous, so I talked to her and tried to be nice and fun. She seemed to warm up to me and whenever I came to the lessons she'd smile and wave, but she was still shy and quiet.Recently I've noticed she's been a bit more shy and nervous than usual around me, like when I went up to her to greet her, she smiled said hi quickly, glanced up at me, and then looked away. I didn't think much of it.Then during the lessons I'll catch her staring at me from across the room. When our eyes meet I'll smile and say hi, and she'll smile and quietly say hi back. She'll compliment my artwork ("That's really good" in a quiet voice) and nobody else's. When I compliment her artwork she'll shake her head.Sooo, I think it's obvious what my question is.Does she have a crush on me? Or does she just regard me as a good artist and respects me to the point that it just makes her nervous or shy?I don't know her sexual orientation. I've never seen her show any interest in guys but I've never seen her show interest in girls either (or maybe she's a closet?).

I think this is simple really.
Asking her about her sexuality or if she likes you out right would put her on the stop and of course be very awkward.
Instead try and talk to her one on one a bit more and try and start up a conversation about what celebrities she finds attractive, maybe let her know about your sexuality and see how she reacts. If she seems comfortable maybe ask her to go somewhere or do something outside of the class and get to know her more.
Hope this helps.
