lol, I do that sometimes
the easily angered and arguing thing.
Anyways, it depends on what you mean by "deal with". If you mean communicate effectively, than your best bet is to just be level headed with them and try to avoid saying anything that you know will set them off.
It sucks to have to trim your words for people, and in most cases I would not suggest it to anyone for any reason. But eh, if you know someone will flip the fuck out over nothing, you might be able to reach them better by being coy and using your words cautiously.
If you mean "how do I get a point across to this person and make them see what I mean" my advice would be to give up now. People, and especially people on the internet very rarely change their point of view. And one thing about the internet is that even if they do, they can go on posting like they didnt, just to save face. So, when debating something on the interbuts, state your opinion, give points and counter arguments when you can, but in the long run dont plan on changing anyones outlook. The best you can hope for is to spread information and hope it sticks somewhere.

What can i do to try to increase her interest in my without being desperate, OR should in blow her off and make her jealous with somebody else?
hmmmmm...so, the girl likes you, she hugs you in public, and when you are out of school is I'm guessing MORE intimate? Reanimator, it sounds like all you have to do is keep this going. Return her a affection a bit, and if she is more close to you in private than in public, be happy because most people are like that and those people who are super mushy and kissy in public are annoying.
If I am wrong, and she is ONLY hugging and saying hi and being nice in public, that's another situation, and could stem from a number of reasons. Anything from her wanting to impress someone else, to her being into you, but only feeling comfortable when others are around because she knows things wont get out of hand.
Either way, I say go for it. How exactly you do that will be up to you to figure out, but there is no sense in not at least trying. One general piece of advice I can give is to not put too much pressure on her. Even if she likes you, if you get all weird on her she may very well stop, so no acting creepy and being quiet or randomly grabbing her somewhere you shouldn't or something. Normally talking about things openly is a safe bet, but some girls are also sticklers for letting things happen without being spoken on. You will have to figure out on your own what sort of girl she is, and move from there.
What I REALLY want to get across though (since it was the first thing you said in your post), is that you need to kick that "Im not the best looking guy" shit out of your head. Nobody is the best looking guy, and one wonderful thing about many women is that looks can be secondary to them (at least they are more likely to be like that than men are). But even so, even if you are horribly disfigured, being self assured will do more for a person than good looks could ever do, that's why you see so many ugly d-bags with smokin hot girlfriends. Those ugly d-bags aren't worried about whether or not they are ugly d-bags, and people (including women) see that and are naturally drawn to it and respect it. So yeah, first things first, and above all else,
don't worry about whether or not she likes you not only is there nothing you can do to change it if she doesn't, but 9 times out of 10 doing that only lowers your chances because instead of being yourself (which is what any person wants in a significant other) you are more worried about being someone YOU think the person will like.
Seriously man, it sounds like you have this one in the bag. Just DOOO EEETT!
