First of all -- calm down. If you get too antsy and stressed about this, you'll lose your mind trying to analyse her reactions. Trust me, I was at the "zero experience" level just a few years ago. That said, you're very lucky that .. that's how I met my girlfriend, thats how my roommate met his girlfriend, and as a matter of fact thats how most of my friends got with who they're with. It's always easiest to relate to someone who has something in common with you. Sharing a dorm creates a lot of opportunity for conversation, and you could simply invite her up or down or over to your dorm to hang out and watch TV. She may not be looking for anything at all, and might simply want a friend -- so you have to be ready for that. Having a "relationship" with a girl is realistically no different than your "relationship" with your male friends. It doesn't have to be a formal declaration of "I WANT YOU" to be recognized. Hang out with her as much as you realistically can, and if you feel that you'd both benefit from becoming exclusive, THEN you can make that declaration.
