<< ok...so how would you approach a girl you hardly know??? Oh, and by the time i do so, i think she may realize who i am (i hope not). >>



You have a few options. You could walk up and introduce yourself, and make small converstaion about the class you share with her. Or you could just say hi to her when you see her, and work your way up to a conversation.

Introducing oneself is always awkward. Perhaps you could ask her to lunch?

Approach her, and be yourself ... don't set your hopes too high. Keep things casual and see how things work out.

Dont worry about rejection until it happens. Get to know her. If she doesnt want to get to know you for some reason she isnt worth the time or effort. If you drag this out any longer you will go blind.

dude8604: NOthing has happened yet....but i will certainly try and talk to her....maybe things will work out, maybe they wont.

She's just a girl...and if she's not interested...it's not like she'll make fun of me the rest of my high school career, or will she??

Ok, I think the first step is destroying all the computer equipment in your household. Thanks to your computer, you're a loner with no social skills. ;)

You can not learn how to speak to people from AnandTech or any other website. Being told how to act will not make you act it. You have to experience it yourself and learn from your own bloody mistakes. That's how life works. So, instead of wasting my time explaining what I think you shoul do, I'll leave it at that. Because I know that regardless of what any one of us here says, it will not change your life. Only you can do that. You have to want to change. Otherwise, you remain the same.

Good luck...

n0cmonkey and the rest of the pimps on this forum ;) Please tell me you're talking from experience???

I mean, i hear this "be yourself" speech all the time.... But it's kind of difficult when your heart is skipping beats, your limbs are shaking, and your voice is cracking..

I don't know why i react this way...but i do. Maybe i should invent a name for my "disease." Anyway...i have a reputation of being VERy quiet. Any girl i approach for any conversation would probably immediately assume i like them, because what else reason would i have to talk to a girl?? I don't want her to have this impression of me anymore. dammit...i feel like i have the weight of the world on my shoulder.....not just because of this ONE girl...but because i'm like this with all girls.

I am definitely no pimp. Being yourself works though. On the rare occassions I have been able to do it I have gotten it to work. I almost always end u p screwing up somewhere though ;)

In my senior year of high school I decided I was tired of sleeping through all my classes and would actually talk in some of them. I got in a debate in my English class. I didnt do too poorly. I had atleast one hottie approach me after the class and say something to the effect that she never knew I could speak until then. If you see me on these boards you will know I dont stay quiet anymore. Not much point in most situations. You just have to get over the fear of looking like an idiot. It will happen. You will get over it. No big deal. You will approach women (hopefully), you will get rejected, you will get over it. Dont put pressure on yourself here. You have a friend or two right? Approach her the same way. Casual and relaxed. You may not get her into bed that day, but if she becomes a friend you have done well enough. No reason to get all worked up over it.

Lol....you're soooooo right....i think i have a plan...

i think i will just say... "Hi jennifer....um...My name is Sam, and i'm the Dude that blah blah told you likes you..."

I hope she doesn't walk away and laugh

You may not get her into bed that day, but if she becomes a friend you have done well enough. No reason to get all worked up over it.

Dude, i'm not trying to sleep with her!!! I just wanted to get to know her and stuff.
