There's this cute girl who's in most of my classes and one of my labs. I really want to talk to her, but I don't know how to approach the situation.
>Be in advanced placement since 4th grade so my class was the same 15 people until university
>Go to university with high school/elementary school friends so still no need to meet new people
Long story short, I don't know how to talk to strangers. This girl is usually quiet and sits on her own in the back of the lecture hall or far off in our labs. I've caught her staring at me a few times and she's caught me stating at her a couple of times, but again, I just don't know how to actually talk to her. Any advice?
>Go sit next to her
>Ask her name, ask her how her days going
>Ask her general questions /conversate until things progress further
>Ask FORD questions (family, occupation, relationships, dreams)
>Ask her for her number
>Take her on a date
>Repeat above process on date

Well, what are some things that happen in class you can ask her about? Think of some convo starters
Ask her what grade she got on something, ask her if she's good at this kind of stuff, ask her major, ask her what classes she's taking
Try to smile sincerely, but not only that - sound, and look sincere in your speech
Well the approach layout would go something like this
>hey, are / do you (ask something)?
>she answers, you ask follow up
An entire conversation can go on in this format, some would say it's the superior tactic, to keep the other person talking
I mean I'm fucking hideous and even I manage it just by doing these, you can too anon

Thanks anon, I'll give it a shot next time I see her. My only worry now is whether or not I can keep the conversation going without coming off as annoying and if I'm interesting or not.
But I might just be able to do this, thanks again.

no, don't do any of that, you'll look like a creep plopping yourself down to her without even asking and then asking about her family, job, relationship and DREAMS in all one sitting, nowadays people don't even ask people they've known for years that shit
>>17658534
That's really good advice, I never really put much thought into the way I'd sound and look when talking to her. Would appearance trump the actual content of the conversation during first impressions?
I could ask her about the tasks we have to complete for one of our labs I guess? Thanks for everything, anon!

Should I do it gradually over time? Like slowly get to know her over small talk and stuff and let those things come about naturally?
>>17658556
No. It's a good medium of both. You don't want to dress like a slob, or go over the top like an autist; but she doesn't want to talk to a snob, or someone who seems retarded.
Don't overthink things, brush your teeth, eat a mint, put on deodorant and cologne, shave your neckbeard, do your hair, etc. Put on regular clothes that fit well, and just have a regular conversation w/ her.

technically every small detail matters, but to focus on so many things is impossible, and luckily our innate intelligence as humans (our common sense) compensates adequatley
Goes without saying nice clothes help, it;s fall so wear a flannel that fits nicely, they're rather cheap, 20 bucks a pop, 12 or so if you're short on cash
Of course girls would never admit it, but you could look like Brad Pitt and it wouldn't matter if you wore the same sweatpants every day, but if you dressed like Don Draper, it wouldn't matter if you looked like Steve Buscemi
Know your qualities and your weak points, since you're not the polar opposites like I described, press your advantages and repress your weak points
Apparently smell is really a strong factor too, if you could get some quality cologne and use it when you know you'll talk to her, I think it'll go a long way
