Dear Tempting Fate, First of all let me say that I am a firm believer in the greater forces that shape our lives, and sometimes it's wise to pay attention and pick up on the signals and omens that punctuate our existence. Although in your case I think that societal forces will win out over any efforts some invisible cupid might be exerting. You're probably right in thinking that you're not quite in this girl's prospective dating pool, even if it seems like fate is telling you something different. I'd advise against making your feelings known to her. Of course, if the next time you see her you happen to mention in passing that you're decidedly single, there's no harm in seeing if her attitude towards you changes. But let it be her that makes any sort of a first move.
