there's a girl in my class that i've a crush on. the problem is we don't talk at all. we're not enemies or something, we just aren't friends. you know, just neutural, only connection's that we're classmates. i'd like to ask her out so i want some advice on that. do you guys believe i could just go straight ahead and simply ask her out, or i should "prepare" the situation a bit, like chatting via facebook etc.?

You should probably start chatting beforehand, but in real life. Too many guys revert to chatting through Facebook, texting, etc and while that's not always a bad thing, talking face to face is always better.

Why don't you go up and ask her how her day has been? Or if an assignment has been assigned in a class you share with her, you could talk to her about that. The conversation can just flow from that point on.

You say you like her a a lot, but what are you basing this off if you haven't really talked to her that much? To get anywhere you do have to start talking, she isn't really going to take small hints like that as an invitation to talk.
Once you do start talking though, you have to realise you don't know this person yet so you can't jump in and say (even in your own head) that you want a relationship. Create a friendship first and then see if you're compatible for a relationship. Don't assume that you two are compatible from what you think you know about her.
Try talking to her a bit more and see if you can actually hold a conversation with her then once you're talking pretty regularly try asking if she wants to go to a movie or something (as friends) and see where everything goes from there.
Good luck.
Basically what I said in that post.
You can try just skipping to the movie part but it does have its drawbacks as well. It breaks the ice a bit because it's a pretty easy answer and it leaves room for more conversation. The problem with it is if the answer is no things can get kind of awkward when you try to talk in the future. I would really suggest at least talking a bit first.
It's worth a shot though I guess.

having thought of it a bit, the obvious answer is to talk to her in advance. i mostly see her at the school corridors waiting to get in the classroom. see's usually with her friend/s talking so it seems a little weird to just go and tell her anything. imagine having a stranger interrupting your conversation. i don't know, maybe i'm too decent :P

are there any times she's alone?? is she in any of your classes? try to find any opportunities to talk to her. You just have to man up and talk to her even if she's with her friends.

Yes, she's in most classes with me. What would you suggest telling her (to start a conversation)? I guess something about school would be a good idea

I'd actually like to know how to ask that too.

The following isn't answering the question, it's just related to this thread. It's a similar situation that I'm currently in:

I sort of like someone too. I've liked her for over a year now but I never really realised it until this week - my feelings for her increased incredibly. I sometimes talk to her on facebook and in real life. She's always cheerful and I don't think she's ever had a boyfriend before. I've never had a real life girlfriend. She's 18 like me and school ends in about two weeks... after that I don't think I'll ever see her again. So if I want to get with her or make any sort of move, I would have to act fast.

If you can be considered friends even in the slightest sense, just ask her out
Damn, its easier to give advice than to apply it :P

I would... but I don't have anywhere near the courage to do that. I also never ever leave my house except for school because of my extreme socially awkwardness, my parents would immediately ask questions and everything will be awkward. Even if she rejects me which she probably would that would bother me a bit.

you have to. only by experiencing awkward and stressful situations you are going to learn how deal with them and ultimately become confident. you have to press yourself. as for your parents just tell them the truth, what's the big deal if you want to go on a date? every parent should be proud of that.

anyway, if you want more advice, make a new thread, please don't post anything non related here
