How do I work up the courage to make a move?

I like a girl, and I'm fairly sure that she likes me, but I don't know how (or if) I should make my move. We make lots of quality eye contact, but very little physical contact, and it makes me doubt that she actually does like me. Then again, she might be shy in company (which is what we're usually in, since on a college campus you're never alone) or just have a personal bubble like mine- which is to say, nearly impermeable. If I was to break the touch barrier, what do you think would be the least threatening thing I could try? I really like this girl and every time I see her and fail to get beyond friendly conversation I feel like kicking something afterward. It doesn't help that I'm also shy and inexperienced in relationships. So I guess another question is in order- if I find she's receptive to getting closer, when is about the right time to go for a kiss?

    If you're serious about her, which you should be, then you should start worrying about making a move.

    If you're not serious at all, go ahead and get her drunk.

    Anyway, I think she likes you. And you obviously like her. Maybe just start slow. No kissing plans for now unless you're absolutely sure she won't end up slapping you. You could try going out; just the two of you. Then.. Clue her in? Then go with the flow.

    You know when some people say, to one's utter annoyance, "I know how you feel"...well I'm not kidding here: I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL!

    I do the same with the woman I am smitten head over heals in love with!! I am also very eloquent, but around her Im like a puddle!!! I blush, plan conversations that NEVER come out right, need my friends to give me the courage to talk to her (bless their souls) and I also am left kicking myself (metaphorically) thinking of why I said this or why I didnt say that.

    But my advice is: rather REGRET SAYING (OR DOING) TOO MUCH than NOT SAYING/DOING ANYTHING AT ALL!! (Ive also had this experience with her)

    Also: She will admire your COURAGE...no one admires the TIMID.

    So Just. Do. It.
