how old are you? give it some time. I was the same way when I was younger.

Start talking to girls in general. I mean as in, hang out mor ewith people in general and talk to them. Talk to girl in general. Keep it simple. Don't overthink it because it is just a conversation.

And finally, just ask the girl out to hang out after the final. Get a bunch of people from your physics class or some friends to go out right after the final is done and invite her along. Chances are she will say okay unless she is too busy with other classes. I am sure you have a rec center or entertainment place at your college, so ask a few friends and some people, like your roommate to hang out after the final and ask her to come along. Tell her it is a good way to blow off steam after a final. Then just talk to her when you guys are hanging out. Problem solved! Just do it already.

From what you're saying, I think you might have a shot. Catch up to her after class and just talk to her. Don't ask to be her boyfriend or tell her to stick out her hand; just talk to her.

If it feels right and you can work up the nerve, ask where she's headed off to (casually) and maybe ask her if she wants to grab lunch/dinner/coffee/whatever if she's free at the moment. If she rejects, don't make a big deal. Sit near her the next day and see what happens.

Report back.

Good luck!

Class if over for the semester besides the final..which I won't be doing much talking in. I could maybe work up the nerve to ask her if she wants to get some dinner after the exam.

Should I leave Facebook messaging out of this? I think that's why my confidence is ****** because I talk to too many people over the internet.

Does she know your name? If you really need an excuse to talk to her, you can message her on facebook and ask to study together. That can easily segui into dinner if you plan the study session in the afternoon. But dont talk to her on facebook if she hasn't introduced herself to you and you only found her because you're a stalker .

and getting to know the girl isn't hard at all, jsut introduce yourself and she'll naturally introduce herself. IF she doesn't, its a good sign she's shrugging you off

I like that scene a lot.
 
You're dumb. Ask her for her name (if you don't already know) and ask for her phone #. If she declines then you've been rejected obviously, if not, woot for you.

I'm 18. I've been shy all my life around people I don't know. If I'm with a group of people in the public that I'm too familiar with, I hardly talk at all. Even with people I am friends with, I just don't talk a lot. I guess it comes from being content with life and pretty laid back, I never really cared too much about having hundreds of friends. Around girls, it gets even worse. Plus, I tend to just say dumb ass things when I talk. 🙂

I don't think she knows my name. Thanks, to StalkerBook, I know hers though. I'm trying to leave Facebook out of this because I don't want to rely on it when talking to girls.

 
These guys all give good advice. Go for it, just ask her if she wants to go eat sometime, or whatever.

You don't want to look back on this years from now and wish you had done something about it.

Dacalo's sig really says it really well...

I am stealing that for my sig. 🙂
 
Don't message her over facebook or anything else on the Internet. She's gonna freak out over your stalker skilz.

Example: I have a good friend. We know each other. We hang out. We spend hours on the phone. The other night I was talking to her on the phone and I talked about how her email handle is a misspelling of a common word. I asked what it meant as I was Googling it.

Google turns up her ebay ratings and one of her Yahoo photo albums within the first four results. She kind of flipped out because she had no idea, and I stopped looking at her stuff. She's my friend. We know each other.


Finals looks like your last chance for the year. Nothing to lose.

Good luck.
 
What do you have to lose? Are you scared you'll get turned down? You're only 18 and will probably be turned down many times. You can break the cycle of being shy if you just put yourself out there. Hard at first but you'll get the hang of it.
