How do I introduce myself??

[Rex99]

Hi this is my first of hopefully many posts on this forum...anyway, there's this girl at school who looks at me, or at least in my general direction, almost everyday. This has happened for a few weeks now. She is new here this year, and from what I can tell, has already established her group of friends (of which I am not a part of). I'm not sure if she likes me or not, but lately I've been trying to look back at her. She doesn't look away until I look away, which takes around 2 seconds, because I'm very shy, but she doesn't even smile (even when I smile at her), she's just emotionless. I'd definitely like to introduce myself, but seeing we don't share any classes in common, never spoken a word to each other, and have no mutual friends how should I go about achieving such a task? :what:

You go up and talk to her...

There is no easy way to really do it you suck it up and introduce yourself to her usually if your compatible you will find something interesting to talk about if not try again new topic haha.

Here is a little story of how i met my girlfriend I walked up to her and said an incredibly eloquent hello that went something like hi...uh..so...um..........Hi! she thought it was cute (BTW this approach is not recommended haha) and we eventually started talking about our favorite bands and here i sit today a happy man.

In conclusion just go up and say hi hopefully you will find something to talk about lol

Haha nice...I can't say I'm very confident though, as I do have a bit of acne (not very noticeable but still enough to really put me down). Problem is she is always hanging out with her friends (as girls normally do), and I don't think it would be all that great to introduce myself in front of them.

Now that I think about it, I've never introduced myself to a girl that I like, which I guess is the reason I've never had a gf (although I know I'm still a bit young), so I guess I'll just take a chance this time, thanks for your advice Delusion15.

Its ok that you dont have a ton of confidence, ive seen the shyest guys in my grade go up and ask a girl out. Just tell yourself that you can do it, and if she says no thats ok. She might like you but she doesnt want to admit it quite yet. Give it time, and see if you can get her number or add her on Facebook and talk to her on there. Get to know her a little. Best of Luck! :D

Just make up an excuse to talk to her. Talk to her online to avoid silent awkwardness. Then maybe tell her you'll say hi to her tomorrow, or make a situation that has to be done in person (example: a staring contest.)

I wish I could be of more help, but I guess I'll rake a whack at it.
Well, guys are always obsessing over what they should say to a girl, when the truth is it really doesn't matter what you say. If shes the right girl, then she'll be happy to even get to know you regardless of how it starts. And if she somehow turns up her nose or something, then she probably wasn't worth it anyway. Also, I highly recommend facebook or something of that nature for conversations. You can basically hide behind your computer which gives you more freedom to say what you want. This helps boost at least my own notably low self esteem, so you never know. Also if any of your friends has gone out with her or you're close with any of her friends, then it might be good to do your research. Find out her type, figure out what she likes and that might lead you onto the path of her heart.

Ok thank you to you all,I managed to introduce myself earlier this week, so now that at least put me on the map, im so glad! Anyway, i think i made a breakthrough earlier today, she said hi to me first when she saw me, instead of the other way round, then we had quite a long conversation. I can definately see something happening in the future, thank you guys sooo much!

Start off by makin an excuse, like askin for somethin like a pencil. Look at her every once in a while and if she looks back, smile and look down. eventually tell her your name and ask for hers, if you two don't already know eachothers. Haha, finally, just be yourself. Don't be too open, but don't be a wall. Have a fun sense of humor, but don't be ridiculously immature the entire time. Haha, I'm not so great with this but yeah :P

Jesus Christ, you guys have no idea what you're talking about. Just walk up to her and say "Hey, what's up? I'm ____", and go from there. You don't need an excuse. Women love spontaneous guys. I can't make it any simpler.

YOU DON'T NEED AN EXCUSE.

Haha lol, anyway how long am I suppose to wait before I ask for a date? I am clueless when it comes to this...I will probably try to ask her out in the next 2 weeks because her friends say that there are "other guys" and they think I'd be the best for her, so maybe she's giving me hints? I don't know.

Ask whenever you feel it's right, and be casual about it. If she says no, just say "oh, alright, maybe some other time then." or something like that.

Drop the stare contest, you're better off in a staring match with a cobra. Walk up to her locker and introduce yourself, "Hi, I'm Rex99, what your name? I just thought rather than giving each other blank stares, we can say hello". Give her your cell number and tell her it's alright to text you if she wants (don't ask for hers), then walk away! When you see her again don't make a big deal about, you didn't exchange DNA at the lockers, a simple nod in her direction will do and don't go back to staring matches.

LOL, uh im already past that stage, but i'll be sure to take that into consideration next time, thanks!

I'm a pretty confident, strait forward person, so I'd say something like this: "hey, I'm Daniel, I saw you looking my way, and thought I'd introduce myself. " after that, give her a nice confident smile, and keep making eye contact. Be confident, but not cocky, nice but not sappy, and friendly but not flirty. Unless she is just mean, you will find yourself a new friend, and maybe a new GF. :P

I hope I helped. :D
