hello /adv/, there's a cute girl in one of my courses who i'd like to get to know. she's into nerd shit, and i'm going to a nerd shit-related event on our campus in a couple days.
would it be a good approach to just ask if she's interested in checking it out with me? she seems nice, but i haven't had an opportunity to talk to her because it's a foreign language course conducted in that language.
please excuse my retardation. i've never dated, but i ended up in a pretty unhealthy long-term relationship with a borderline girl, and it's made approaching and opening up to people much more difficult.
i appreciate any reassurance or advice
if there's one thing i hate about being approached by strangers, is that they put it on too heavy and it feels borderline creepy
you sort of think, 'oh, okay, it's this again'
worst scenario she says no and has a couple giggles with her friends, but you would've given it a shot and that's a lot more than most people
good luck!

>ask if she's interested in checking it out with me?
Yes, and exactly like that!

>friends
i'm safe there. none of us know each other well.
this is what i'm worried about. when i'm nervous, i tend to (like a lot of people) overexplain or rationalize what it is i'm saying. i'm guessing i just keep it simple like >>18698779 said?
