    There's a girl at school that I think I'm starting to like. From what I know she seems really nice and intelligent. Problem is, I've only talked to her like once or twice. We sit next to each other in class, but I just don't know how to talk to her. I feel like I'm gonna say the wrong thing and she'll get a wrong impression. Also, it's at school which is more of a professional environment, so that makes it even more confusing. Has anyone been in that situation? If so, I need some advice on how to handle it.

    If you don't know what to do with her just become friends with everyone else in the room... tell jokes/stories/quips etc. Up your social cred with them and you will become the center of attention and the aura will pull others in.

    Most students do it the other way around, where they don't say much the whole semester in that class but out of the blue try to hit up the hot chick with no leadup... it can feel out of place and often fails unless you're really smooth.

    Only issue is... I hate being the center of attention.

    Yeah, that is the main problem for people in this situation. I remember when I was a teen and porn wasn't fast streaming, there wasn't social media sites, and youtube wasn't big at all... in those days you could have social awkwardness but it was much smaller and you could fake it until it lowered.

    Even if I wasn't socially awkward, I still wouldn't want to be the center of attention. There's gotta be a balance I think

    Yeah then you will have to go straight for the 1 on 1 approach. If you are trying to start a conversation I wouldn't lead with a question because questions can get shot down with a yes or no answer plus she probably doesn't know much about you yet to be comfortable talking.

    One of my favorite tricks is to start informally as if we already know each other, and begin the communication as if it was picking back up from where you left off before. This not only keeps things relaxed but if gives the other person a glimpse of what knowing you on that level would be like.

    In an ideal world, what are the types of things you'd like to talk to her about?

    I think I'd just like to get to know her as a person. Interests, what gives her joy, things like that.

    Ok, that is good... just know that she might be timid at first to share her interests so you might want to talk about your interests first to make her comfortable with who you are. What happened in the first 1-2 conversions you had with her?

    So when I talked to her first it was just about something in class. But good news today! I finally manned up and started a conversation today. It was mostly about what she's doing school-wise. Then, after class, she actually started another conversation and we talked for a bit. I think things are starting to flow.

    I know I can't get too excited. I don't even know if I like her or if I'm simply just attracted (I believe there's a difference). So we'll see what happens. Thanks for your advice by the way!
