I like a Shy Girl

[STEALTHy]

Alright so to start off my high school year has just started it's my 2nd year. Last year I had a terrible experience with trying to get with this girl that I've never felt the same way for with anybody before, and I'm recovering from it. Now though there's this one girl I keep having dreams about and being with her. For this let's just call her Andra Summers (not her real name but I know her real name) So I've known Andra for awhile but never real got to know her. We've been going to the same school ever since Pre-Kindergarten. The first time I saw her I always had a thing for her ever since I was a little 5 year old.

We're both in high school now and I've developed a thing for her that I've never had for her before. We have 1 class together and my question is. How can I approach and talk to her without it being awkward or weird.

What I was thinking of is just saying "Ohh hey Andra" as I walk passed her in class and then sit down in my seat 2 places away from her hoping she says Hi back or something. I really don't know what to do though because I've never had a girlfriend. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

If you have known each other since Pre-Kindergarten, surely she could not bear to ignore you at your ''Ohh hey Andra''. That idea might just be a decent one to start off a conversation with her. Just make sure that she is not occupied or talking to her friends whenever you want to say Hi. You wouldn't want to be a busybody who interrupts good conversations between girls now would you? So suffice it to say that the best time is probably when she is not doing anything or simply put 'open' for conversations.

You could tell her how surprised you are at this situation. I mean you can remind her of all other places that she could've been, yet she is here studying as your schoolmate. Let the conversation flow and more importantly be yourself. After all, you like this girl and I bet you want her to like you for who you truly are.

I don't think that saying Hi would be awkward. The last time I did something like this, I ended up getting the girl's number by night. So you can do just fine bro. Best of luck.

The trick is to treat her like you would any other female friend and talk to her the same way. Try and put aside your thoughts about her as a potential girlfriend, and just have a conversation. It could even be just about your class work as that would be something you have in common? Talking is a good basis to start from for any potential relationship.
