There's this *really* fine girl in my precalc class (damn maybe that's why I don't understand anything!) but she doesn't know me and I don't know how to talk to her. She's a senior (i'm a junior) so I don't even think she knows my name... And she sits across the room so it's not like I can turn around and ask her a math question or something. What to do (other than quit being a shy pansy ass)?

College or high school? I'm guessing high school because you think that a junior/senior difference is a big deal.

Walk up to her, look down at your crotch, then look at her again and say:"well.......... It won't suck itself.....". :D (I give credit to whoever came up with that 'cuz it's gold).

On a more serious note, try something like "I know this is out of the blue, but I saw you from across the room and thought you were cute. My name is (insert name). (begin small talk or ask her out depending on what you're more comfortable with)"

Yes high school and it's not really a big deal I just mentioned that cause if I was in her grade she might at least know who I was...

Study group? Um not in one.

icecool83, the day I say that (the serious one) is the day I, uh, <insert activity with a .01% chance of doing>. That seems weird to walk up to her and say shes cute...

Well, Sparky, it seems to me you've got one of two options. 1, you can just admire her from a distance, never knowing if there might have been something between you, or 2, you can hang your cojones out and talk to her. But you know that already, don't you? There's nothing people on a message board can say that's gonna make her throw her underwear at you. So, to be cliche, it's up to you. And speaking from experience, #1 is a bad road to start down, cause you won't be able to stop going down it easily. I lost a girl that I was madly in love with because I was too chicken to say anything, even though everyone and their grandmother told me that she was into me. My loss, and it was a big one. So, don't die many deaths; take your skirt off. :)

Oh, and LMFAO at that "not gonna suck itself" comment. Everytime I see it I start rolling. :)

I have never understood this. My friend took 2 weeks to ask out a girl she had tole him she liked him, and if he asked, shed go out with him, and he wanted to go out with her bad. Every time someone has told me a girl like me and she wasnt fugly, I've asked her out within 15 mins of the next time I saw her...

Heh. Yeah, it definitely is not one of my shining moments. But I'd get all sorts of weird vibes off her. Think that was just me misreading things, though.

Move our feet to come within a few feet of her. Make mouth noises understood by anglophone humans.

Go up and talk to her. What do you have to lose? She's just going to dump you for some guy with a Harley, anyway. :|

look at what you're (probably) dealing with in this situation first (speaking from personal experience):
your shyness
lack of confidence
lack of experience
the fear of initiating a new experience on your part.
the fear of being rejected
the fear of the unknown
the fear of being publicly humiliated in front of the class.
not knowing what her reaction will be no matter what you say or how you say it
the fear of being dumbfounded (brain-lock) in a highly emotional and sensitive encounter
the thought that maybe not knowing if she likes you is better than finding out that she actually hates everything about you
the fear that if you do nothing, you will regret it for the rest of your life
etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.

all of those fears can be overcome by:
your self-confidence
your optimism
your sincere expressed desire to get to know this beautiful girl

ask yourself:

what do you really want from her?
what realistic results can you expect from getting to know her?
is imposing yourself on her feelings of personal privacy worth the risk?
does her body language tell you that she is generally friendly and sociable?

if after this short introspection you still feel that the rewards outweigh the risks, which from what i gather you definetly do feel, then before or after class just walk up to her and introduce yourself and tell her that you find her really interesting and would she mind if the two of you could become friends? (as a safe harmless way of gradually entering into a relationship, rather than the "in-your-face-take-me-or-leave-me-approach")

you'll never know unless you give it a shot, so what're you wait'in for? go for it. :D
*just be emotionally prepared for any and all eventualities- because you can't make up her mind for her* :D

shy pansy ass or not, i dont think anyone in high school would do that.
Well... I'm in college but I would do that. Maybe not exactly those words maybe something like hey I thought you looked pretty good or wow girl you sexy.

I think the 'QUit being a shy pansy ass' is probably best.

I had the distinct displeasure of having a long discussion with a friend the year after I got married.

He proceeded to tell me about 4 or 5 REALLY great girls who I would have totally worshipped back in high school that wanted to date me. But I was a shy pansy ass and never ever got up the courage to ask them out.

Just start talking to her and dont be afraid to ask her out.

Be confidant and secure, even if you dotn feel like it.

Just go straight up to her and talk to her about regular stuff like " This teacher is hard and the exams are unfair" or "Hey, I interested in applying to colleges right now, did you apply to any schools and which are the best one you heard about?" There are tons of topics...just go up and get a conversation going and then later introduce yourself. Best time to do it is before class.

I think you should just walk up to her and yell "What's my name?" That should get you noticed!

I gotta admit that I suck at finding good words when trying to talk to the opposite sex (or at least it used to be like that!). Nowadays, I just walk up to 'em and say: "My gawd, you're beautiful! I just had to tell you that, otherwise I'd never forgive myself later on..." :D

You could try it... :) It won't kill you (I think...) :D
