I need advice on how to talk to my crush, and how to get her number (we're bothshy)

[LazyAlex22]

Hello, this is my first post here, I hope it'll start to feel like home soon.So, I'm a 16 years old kid, she's 15. Our parents are friends, so sometimes they come over to my house on Saturday evening to eat with us. I'm pretty bad at starting conversations, and so is she from what I've seen, but we have a lot of common interests like art for example. I want to get her number because it's frustrating having to wait for our parents to call each other just to see her. Can you guys suggest a way to ask for her number without it beign weird? Or even how to start a conversation with her with our parents around? For now we rarely spoke to each other, but I noticed she laugs sometimes when I say something, so she must find me funny I think. When I'm at her house she always leaves after she's done eating, but since we're very similair I can assume why, since I try to ignore her to not raise any suspicions she must be doing the same (I hope). Our parents wants us to be friends, but it's ackward as f trying to start a conversation with them around all the time. I promised myself that I'm not gonna give up this time, I WILL be able to talk to her. Do you guys have any tricks? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long read

U both like art-that is something in
common. When she comes over ask
her if she would like to draw some
thing for u and then u draw some
thing for her. In the process ask
her for her number. Better yet
give her urs. Its not weird-ur
not strangers.

That’s a god sign that you have the same interests. After dinner one time if your parents are in a conversation ask her quickly if you can add her on snapchat because you want to talk to her. Or get her phone number.... if the parents leave the table then you could maybe ask if she wants to do any art with you. I’m shit at starting conversations as well and I just got a girlfriend that’s why. Once you get to know her it gets way easier to talk to her... the hardest part is initially starting the conversation. I asked how her day was and it triggered a conversation. Now we’re in love.

Your parents are friends.
They call each other to coordinate those Saturday evening dinners, right?
She lives with her parents, right?
Ask your mom or dad for their number.
Call.

Btw, there are no "tricks." Just be yourself. Be open. Talk.

Stay true to yourself, that's the first thing. Don't try to be some extroverted social butterfly. If she likes you, then she likes you like you are. Trust me, despite my demeanor online I am actually quite shy, so I know a thing or two.

I would look into doing some activity with her. Perhaps instead of just standing around staring at each-other awkwardly, invite her to your room to do some art project together. I've noticed that it is much easier to start a conversation if you are doing something together, since there really isn't that awkward pressure to keep a constant conversation going.

And when you do talk to her, ask her open-ended questions about herself. Don't ask simple yes/no questions, ask something that makes her say a sentence or two. And just keep asking those kind of questions, and if you notice something she seems to like then delve a bit more into it. Slowly of course, don't start asking her fifty questions immediately, just let it flow naturally. Eventually you'll get to the point where is would be less awkward to ask more detailed or intimate things of her, like say her phone number.

You have to realize you can do anything your mind tells you not to do because you have physical control. It only takes 1 second of courage and it’s never gonna happen unless you make it happen. You got it and good luck

That isn't the only interaction we had. I talked to her from the beginning of the year up until then and slowly worked my way up. We became friends, and then I asked her to chill and on the second hang out I asked her out.
