This girl...

[Underground_Network]

At lunch today, I was talking with one of my friends and out of the corner of my eye I saw this girl, I turned my head to look at her and noticed she was staring back at me. In that moment I simply froze, stopped talking, looked down at the ground, and kind of stayed silent for a few minutes, then looked back at her to see she had stopped staring at me and was talking to her friends, but was still looking at me out of the corner of her eye. I've liked this girl for quite awhile, but after this experience, I like her even more, when I saw her it was like a light was beaming down on her.

I suck at approaching people, and at one point I think she may have even made a gesture to get me to come over to her. One thing about her is that I know she isn't too bright, but she makes up for it in that she's kind, bubbly, outgoing, and just an all-around nice person to be with (though her friends don't make it seem that way). I've only talked to her twice since I've known [of] her, and as most of you know I suck around girls, but I know she's single, and even if I don't go as far as to date her I'd just like to talk to her and befriend her, but I just don't know how.

She's a really accepting person, and for once I think she's a girl I could have a chance with, but she's so damn beautiful and so damn nice that I feel she's way out of my league... I don't know at this point, I feel with how lacking in confidence and outgoingness I am, I have no chance with any girls at this point, let alone someone as amazing as her...

Adam, buddy, all you can do is go talk to her. Well, another possibility would be to find out her MSN or something like that. You could just sit back and wait for her to talk to you, but I think you should try talking to her.

From how you describe, she is an approachable person, so that should make it easier. Don't over think it. Just have a normal conversation.

Good luck! I hope you find the courage to go talk to her, because it sounds like she would be great for you.

You could start by just saying "Hey" when you walk past her, and then after a few encounters move on and ask "How has your day been?" and stuff like that. If you can handle this then Im sure it wont be hard to create conversation in the future.

i feel your pain a bit here adam. i'm like you, i'm not good at approaching people to befriend, they have to approach me. but i know that that isn't the way to make friends and in the end find a girl to date. i know its not easy, but you need to try and mentally build yourself upand try and talk to her. you don't have to come up with a convo starter or anything. a simple "hey" is all you need. if she seems to be respondant to that, then maybe a "how are you?" you don't need anything in depth. you're going to be nervous, and i'm like that always when i meet new people. you just need to try and somehow turn that nervous energy into a positive energy. what you have to remember is adam, in these situations, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. good luck mate, and don't back out of it when the opportunity comes to speak to her. make that nervous energy, positive energy!!!

I know, I'm going to try eventually, I have off of school today, so I'll probably try tomorrow. I have a friend who is friends with one of her friends (if that makes any sense), and I'm going to try and use him to talk to her, because when I talk to new people I like to be around someone that both they and I know, because it makes getting to know them a lot easier; but yeah, we'll see. For once I'm really set on talking to this girl, and I really don't want to back down, but I'm not sure. I'll try, and I guess that's really all I can do; try.

having a mutual friend with you can help a lot. especially with intros and convo starters. that would be a great idea if a mutual friend can help you. i'm glad you don't want to back down and thats it, you can only try, and remember you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

I dont normally post here but thought I'd give some advice [well it works for me]

Find out if the 2 of you have anything in common, Favourite TV show, Fav songs, Favourite sport ect... something like that then you can realy get talking especially if the 2 of you have something in common that you both like...

Well it works for me anyway when making new friends, I just find something we both have in common. ;)

dude i feel your pain but in the same way again and different and the advise i give you is talk to her and first practice what you will say before you talk to her so when you start to talk you won't sound like an idiot second look good when you see her ok so just if you want to take the advise hehe
