How can I make this girl my girlfriend?

[jimgriffin]

First if all I'd just like to say in advance that I'm sorry if this is a little long. There's this girl that sits in front of me in my English honors class. She is 15 and a freshman and I'm 16 and a sophomore. I really like her. I don't know what to do about it though. To start with, I'll tell you the interactions we've already had. She will occasionally turn around and ask me a question about the work and I will sometimes do the same. Also, she was once paired with me for some work and her friends smiled at her. Finally, she seems to stare at me. She will kind of turn her head to see me from the corner of her eye. It looks that way at least. There is no one behind me so she couldn't be looking at anyone else. Also, she will sometimes look up at me when I walk past her to get to my desk. So as you can see, we aren't really friends, but I guess we know each other. I really want to further my relationship with her. I know if she got to know me I could win her over. I know it sounds lame, but I'm a nice guy. I want a long lasting relationship where I can talk to her, text her, compliment her, comfort her, protect her, and just love her. I'm not just trying to use her for sex. So how can I go about this. I only have until June 24th so I need to act fast. I would usually have a problem talking to her, but she is surrounded by her friends to it is almost impossible to get her one on one. I'm a little shy when I know people are listening . Even if I can get her alone, what do I say so I don't come off as weird? Please help me. I want a relationship with this girl so bad. Sorry again for the length and thank you.:)

You have any other classes with her?
Ask her how she's doing and how her day's been going. Ask her about herself. If you know anything she likes that you like (like you two share the same favorite show) talk about it or something. Just let her know that you're interested in knowing her better.
Then if she has a Facebook account, or G+, or whatever you kids have, friend her. Chat with her about whatever. Just be natural and open and be yourself. :)

Don't feel embarrassed from other people because you like her. Most girls like confidence. :)
Just be yourself.

Just ask her. She seems to like you. You sound like you really love this girl and you treat her with respect so tell her before school lets out. You should try to be friends with her before thinking about making her your girlfriend.

I don't have any other classes with her. I'll try to talk to her about her interests I guess. How do I find those out without it being weird. Do I just ask what she likes or do I mention things I like and see if I get a response?

I know this sounds really lame coming from someone who is a hermit. But I believe that you should seize this opportunity that you have while it lasts and take the imitative to start a conversation. You won't get anywhere by just playing out these scenarios and over thinking these kinds of situations in your mind. Just be up front wit yourself, and talk to her as if you were talking to someone you knew or to a friend. Yes. I know that is a lot to as for, but I think that is probably one of the only ways to ease your yearning for her.

Another problem is that is doesn't always seem like she likes me. She doesn't talk to me too often and she never seems very bubbly when we do. She may just be shy too; she doesn't seem super outgoing anyway. I don't know.

Well..only one way to find out.:D
