Hi, There's a girl in my arts class who's really attrracting me. She always looks so calm(I like calm people), and she always sits alone. I've been thinkin about sitting with her and talking to her, but I have big problems when it comes to socializing. I have no idea what I could say to approach her, how not to be too boring, etc... I also really want to avoid looking like flirting. Any tips? (Note that I want her as a friend, I'm not trying to seduce her or anything...)

Haha, I know guys are supposed to be courageous, take the initiative and all, but... I don't fit the mold at all... Well, I'll have to try anyway, or I won't get anything. I'm just not really comfortable with approaching people I don't know... Well, to say the truth, absolutely NOT comfortable. Yay, I fail. And thanks for your answer~

The best advice I can give you is to just be yourself. Chat about something she likes, or something that you two might have in common. For me, as a girl I like a guy that just acts himself. Hope this helps!

The problem is that I don't know anything about her. I don't know what she does or doesn't like, or what we could have in common. To talk about she likes, I'd need to know her a bit first, but I can't without talking to her anyway... Well, thanks anyway~
