Okay. Need some advice about how I can approach this girl at school i've encountered recently.

So these past few days (a week ago) I've noticed this girl at school who is showing subtle signs that she might be interested in me. (I highly suspect it.) I have seen her making eye contact with me, and there was this one time I caught her friends playfully pushing her towards me in the hallways while i was waiting to go to class. (I think thats subtle enough.)

I find her very cute and attractive. Petite, nice body, glasses, nice straight black hair with bangs, etc. I can't stop thinking about her. The fact that her friends were pushing her, and she had a really shy/embarassed look on her face really caught me off guard... That was the moment i fell in love with her.

I noticed that she has a rilakkuma pin on her turquoise backpack, so she might like anime (hopefully)

At first, i wanted to approach her by buying a rilakumma doll and giving it to her, but after thinking about it, i think thats would be a bit too much for someone you just met and it might freak her out x. x.

I wanted to try and approach her sometime later this week, I know that I just need to act natural and talk like we're friends, but this is easier said than done. I feel like i might chicken out "in the moment" It is like jumping into cold water...

What advice can you guys give me for approaching this girl? Does asking her out for lunch outside school sound alright upon meeting her for the first time? And if she says yes, I could take her to pizza pizza or subway near the school and get her lunch/have a casual conversation with her, personal stuff, then give her the plushie.

Rape her

That's the easiest way to get to know her.


How old is she anyway, I might be interested.

How to approach? Talking to the person generally works. People always seem to over-think these things, and end up just making it harder upon themselves.

Go get her, tiger. How about you just talk to her at school first? You don't need to take her out.

When you score, stop making threads about girls.

I've honestly never seen her before.

Shes probably grade 9 or 10.

Most likely grade 9 since shes not in the yearbook, or if she just moved to the school, grade 10.

^That's a win win situation for you, i mean call her back in the ball if she starts bitchin'!

joke apart...

If you got a class with her, try to do some project/work with her, that should get some conversation started.
edit: sorry seems like she isn't in your class, my bad. but try talking to her at lunch :D?

Shes usually with her friends during lunch.
It would be awkward for me to intrude and talk to her whiles shes in the circle.

I wanted to take her out so it'll be a one on one moment.

I'm actually going to take you seriously this time Daniel. Be proud.

1) Talk to her. Unless you look like Channing Tatum or Zac Efron, or whoever else girls are obsessed with nowadays, randomly approaching a girl and giving her a gift won't work. If you see her in the hallways, just strike up a random conversation. It doesn't have to be anything big. You can just talk about a random event that happened in your town/city or something, anything. Get to know her a bit, and if possible, find out if she actually does like anime.

2) After you talk to her a couple times, man up, gather whatever amount of courage you have, and ask her if she wants to hang out. Make sure you ask her in person though, not through a text or over the phone.

3) After hanging out a couple times, and getting to know her a little better, then you can ask her out for real. Be careful though, try not to fall into the endless pit of depression and.... death that is the friend zone.

Ah. Well you said you noticed her pin right? You could start off from that and branch off to many other topics.

Don't buy the present until after you are actually officially a couple. Personally, I suggest next time you pass her, smile and say hi. When you cross paths again, if she initiates smiling at you and saying hi, you are probably in. Introduce yourself and comment on her kilarumma doll pin. If the conversation goes well, then ask if she wants to go out for coffee (or whatever highschoolers drink now) after school or even meet up on the weekend. You could ask her out for lunch outside school but it depends if she is the type to skip school or not. I don't recommend lunch at school because too many people will know you or her and interrupt. Keep us updated.

Edited to add: You can probably skip the first hi and talk to her straight away. Work out your initial conversation and exit excuse beforehand.
Hi, you are Daniel. You have noticed her around school and wanted to say hi. You like her doll pin and go from there. When you are finished talking or the conversation is lagging, just casually say you need to catch up with your friends and you will see her around.

If you have to, come up with a list of conversation topics (in your head) beforehand. Asking if she's new to the school would be a start, since you don't even seem to know that. Asking what she thinks of the school. Telling her what you think of it. Etc.
Just try to talk about things which are relevant to both of you, at least at first.

Hell I was drinking at the pub (underage) and smoking when I was in grade 9... Organize a party somewhere with a few slabs of booze invite everyone and then just chat to her while at the party.

If you don’t want to do that just chat to her when she’s not with her friends i.e. when she’s going to class or in the library. It’s not going to kill you mate.

Don't listen to some of these people who are taking this as a joke. This is what you do. Despite the embarrassment that you might feel when near her, you have to start out by talking. After you start to feel even the slightest of comfort when talking to her, you then take it slowly and ask her to hang out with some friends or something(reinforce the comfort between each other). Lastly, after all that if you still feel she likes you and you like her, you can ask her out. Don't buy too many things for her until you get past the first 2 steps. Also, most girls don't like desperate guys. Girls want guys to have reasons for picking them and not just half assed guys who pick the girl because they will take any girl.

Oh and before i stop I forgot to say that despite what I said, if you know a girl wants something(make sure you are positive of what she wants) it is best to give it to her but do not spoil them. Hope this helps you and hope you can get the girl you love.

Seriously though, listen to Itami. You'll both be more comfortable if you're in a group and it'll be way easier to facilitate natural conversation. Once you've met her once then you should feel comfortable approaching her when she's by herself, because, ya know, that's what friends do.

Daniel, if you've learned anything from anime it should be that if a girl is interested in you she'd put a love letter in your shoe locker. Do nothing until then.


This, or she pulls him out onto a hill above a town on a warm, starry summer night and confesses her love to him as the wind rustles her hair.

Seriously dude, the first step to having a possibility of dating her is to talk to her. In case you're not feeling motivated yet, (I'm paraphrasing) "It's better to have done something and regretted it, then regretting not doing something."

In other words, if you don't take this chance, 30 years from now you might be balding, have a beer belly, live in a small, rundown apartment with a low paying job, and still a virgin and single thinking back "why did I never take the chance to talk to that girl in high school?".

Feelin' motivated now?

Nah.. Don't do the friend option. That usually creeps girls out and the friend you ask will probably laugh when they ask. If you like her, you confront herself. Be a man.

You first have to talk to her yourself. Don't give her anything yet - that's kinda strange. Start by smiling when you see her around the halls or at lunch. If you see you have something in common with her or even compliment something about her (like that pin you mentioned). Gotta get the ball rolling. Good luck, buddy.

Anyways, Danny I can't help too much since I don't have too much experience dating myself, but I can definitely say that you need to start by talking to her. Don't rush it too much and make yourself look desperate, but don't go too slow and risk getting friend zoned. I'd definitely advise that you don't say you love her. You mentioned that in your first post, but you've never even met her before and I feel like you would be the kind of person to say I love you on the first date and make it really awkward.

Just a slight suggestion to add to what others have said, perhaps refrain from saying "I can't stop thinking about you, I love you" as an opening sentence. I'm already convinced you're a stalker, but maybe you can fool her.

just recently had the same thing happen to me, just man up and talk to her.
you probably should not introduce yourself to her by getting her a gift, that's too much. Find out why she likes you and act off that, if it's just looks then you're golden to do whatever. (People say looks don't matter, and that's bullshit. They may not break a relationship, but they sure as hell can make it.)

K so, you're going to be embarrassed and she likely will be too, make it sweet and short, get outta there quick, but not too quick. Also, act on this as fast as you can or she's going to lose interest, these "subtle hints" are "HEY, MAKE A MOVE ALREADY." So yeah, just do it. You don't lose anything if you fuck it up.

love is also way too strong a word for this little scenario.
best advice: man the fuck up
