If you guys can have a talk now and again, and she is your lab partner, and she lives in the USA, she should not have too many problems with comminucating with you in English, ne? But aside from that, my personal recommendation is, if you really, REALLY like her, as in, if you seriously think she's "the one", blah blah blah, and you really want to go out with her, then yeah, course, go ahead and learn some Chinese! It's going to be hard, and it'll need some commitment... I mean, as a Chinese girl myself, I find Chinese tricky. sweatdrop But if there are plenty other fish in the sea, and you most probably will move on from this, then I don't think you should. If you want to imprrove your general knowledge, then of course, learning Chinese would be a good thing, especially with China growing at such a fast rate and overcoming the USA sooner or later. But my advice is, if you're not THAT into her, then... don't bother if you can't be bothered. But I think, if you really like her and do go learn some Chinese, she may find that really touching. 3nodding As a girl, I probably would, that a guy went to such lengths. I also recommend learning not just the language, but more about the culture, ya know? I do find there are plenty of differences, being what I am - feeling half Chinese, half English, gah... So yep, do your best whatever the case. And keep trying; don't just freak out cause she gave you an odd look. You may have misinterpreted it. 3nodding As long as you're not too overbearing, then... she should get it. And if she returns those feelings, you should be fine!

thanks,the truth is that i've never even asked anyone else out before because i don't really like to many of the people at our school but i do really like this one. I was already thinking about learning some of the culture and thats actually why i got on to this guild! blaugh

It doesn't seem like she doesn't understand.

-this may sound harsh-

Maybe she's just not interested? :/

Calm down.

You are still young, and this is probably nothing more than a crush.

-Tosh has like no right to say this- XD

Your best choice would be to talk to her again.

And be more direct. Don't beat around the bush.

This might sound a bit mnn, but isn't it her responsibility to learn English if she's lived in the US for so long?

My advice would be to just try to get to know her better and become friends first, hang out together - not like on a formal 'date' just hanging out - and then when you know each other well and when she's comfortable with you ask her.
