Flatmate dilemma

Ok. So I end up hanging out with her after our classes in the morning... We watched a series while I massaged her back. We get chatting and she is a little flirtatious. Then we decide to go to the botanical gardens. We go there and just look at plants, having conversation, but pretty much entirely alone, chilling very privately. We sit on a bench surrounded by a beautiful kinda scenery. She's sitting close to me, talking about personal stuff, mostly pertaining to her relationships with men... I end up doing very little, because I wanna tell her how I feel and kiss her in this romantic setting. But should I? How do I bring that about?
 
If you can't bring yourself to let her know you want more, then you just enjoy what IS and when you two part ways forget her and move on.

You should have given the girl a kiss.
 
I think most heterosexual men can be classified in one of two ways: guys that go for the gusto and sometimes get slapped away, but sometimes get what they're going after; and the guys who never make the move.

I won't even go into detail on the first group. Outside of the scope of this topic. But the second group has two subgroups: guys that never make a move but eventually the girl does, and guys that end up alone.

OK, this is a gross generalization, I know, but we already know you're in the second group, but which subgroup? Believe it or not, it's not difficult to move from Group II to Group I. Just open your mouth and tell her.
 
No coz that could be misread i agree with Ellie tell her how you feel. Can you communicate better verbally or written
 
Not really at least you can keep rewriting wat you want to say to her imho
 
So I should've kissed her...
But what do I say? Or should I just grab her and go straight for it? I don't wanna take her off guard and get slapped.

Lean in, soft, sweet kiss. Or kiss the top of her head. Or take her hand in yours. No one is advocating jumping on her and ramming your tongue down her throat. Something sweet, romantic and spontaneous isn't going to get you slapped.

How will she react? We don't know. But one thing is for sure, you will step out of the "friend" zone. For better or worse.
 
Now she's backed off and not really spoken to me for a few days. I'm assuming I should leave her alone and I am, but I don't want to.

She probably thinks you're gay at this point.

Seriously though, a little more info, as in, did she back off after you told her how you felt or are you still playing the mute masseur?

Cut to her talking to her friend:

"Hell yeah I gave him all the signs. Fuck I've been letting him put his hands all over my body for weeks and rub me raw and not once did he make move. I even laid on my bed when he was doing it and wore those little satin shorts that make my butt look fabulous, moaned a little, and still nothing. I feel like such a fool. I really don't think he's into me. Maybe he plays for the other team? Couple days ago I so just wanted to give him the mother of all sloppy blowjobs but instead he took me to the gardens and we just looked at plants. He could have thrown me in a briar patch and I still have let him have at it six different ways till Sunday. Oh well, think I'll give Kevin a go. Shame, I so wanted to experiment and get crazy in bed with (insert your name here). You still up for that 3 way we talked about Beth even if Kevin is our man candy?"
 
Shit. I better do something...
I'm not totally mute. It's just that she constantly talks about how annoyed she gets when guys hit on her and pretty much imagine a "chemistry" when it's not there and I don't wanna be that idiot who just read too many 'signs', but really she felt nothing...
She's been studying for tests, so that's why we aren't spending time together... but she seems to be quite dismissive even if i start talking to her about something that's really just small talk...
