In university, many people got attached during the mugging period
before exams, because they spend alot of time studying together and
somehow grew closer admist the shared stress and difficult times.
Go figure 
So maybe you can learn from this and instead of aggressively
"dating" her, try to share what she's going through. Let her talk
to you about her project problems, go to library with her, meet her
for lunch or dinner near school, etc. This creates opportunity for
you both to grow closer without giving her undue pressure, and she
discovers how ahem caring
and supportive you are
