<p>What was your experience saying Hi to a girl you liked?</p>
<p>Did you start off by asking her out or giving her flowers?
Did you say "hey wait - I remember you from ________!"
Did you "accidently" bump into her?
Or did you try to muster something but couldn't?</p>
<p>More specifically, what was your FIRST experience asking a girl out, or getting her to know you?</p>
<p>Ummmm…I was just really friendly, and then when I got the right vibe, I asked her at a party (which is good, because you can have a private convo, but there are also people, and it feels less forced). And I guess it all worked out there.</p>
<p>I try and become their friend first (but not so much that I’m in the friend zone; don’t go there), and then, when they have some sense of comfort around me, it makes it so that a) I am more open to them and b) they feel less pressured by you. I think the more important thing is setting the stage, rather than the asking out part. Don’t be too over-the-top, though. I have jsut alwyas thought that it looks really fake (like it works for stuff like prom and homecoming, but that’s because they are so phony).</p>
<p>Go up to her, stop obsessing over it, and say hi. Do you know how creeped out the girl would be if she knew you were planning this, like some kind of assassination?</p>
<p>Yeah… if it takes this much planning for you to simply say hello, maybe you shouldn’t pursue the relationship. Relationships should be effortless… not mechanical like this!</p>
<p>Well, the guy I liked read my blog regularly, so I posted a note talking about how I liked someone and wanted to get to know him better. Of course he asked me who it was, so I told him it was him. :)</p>
<p>(This coming from a girl who asked out a guy.)</p>
<p>yeah don’t PLAN it. and don’t give her flowers if you’re going to ask her out. most girls like the chase…so if you know she’s interested, play hard to get. but not for TOO long. then ask her out.</p>
<p>Ack… I haven’t done it yet. I’m just too nervous. My main concern: will she think I’m weird if I just go up and randomly say hi? For the girls: if a guy one day just randomly came up to you, do you feel awkward?</p>
<p>And look at it this way: If you’re being self conscious, you’re under the false impression that everyone is constantly thinking about you because you’re THAT popular. </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>It’s easy to be spur of the moment.</p>
<p>You can even be cheap. Drop your pencil, pick it up, tap her on the shoulder and ask if she had just dropped the pencil, and then when she says no say something like “oh aren’t you in my ____ class?”… And hopefully you have a nut sack decent enough to carry on the convo. :P</p>
<p>You can’t explain how to say “Hi” on the internet. It comes from experience. And yes, you will be creepy and strange. Life sucks but let’s have fun. So stop giving a **** and become free of doing anything you want. Regardless of anyone’s opinion.</p>
<p>Actually you won’t be creep and strange. I know in your head the only thing you’re thinking is “How creepy am I?” but 99% of the time time she’ll just think you’re confident and outgoing, with a decent nut sack. :P</p>
<p>You’re just saying hi. “Hi” thats it. People do it all the time. You need to get in the right mindframe- that is just be yourself. Forget everything. Forget everyone. </p>
<p>Just do it man. If you’re confident, there’s no way you can go wrong because people can feel if someone else is confident or self-concious. </p>
<p>And btw, I am a girl, and I have dozens of guys do that to me and no, it’s never awkward. We always end up becoming friends within an hour. =)</p>
<p>Wow, some actual thoughtful and helpful responses! Thanks to kelper, Armando, mr_chipset, and MetdetGNR. (I was expecting some type of response like, “what, you haven’t done it yet… that’s lame!”)</p>
<p>I think she might already know that I’m obsessed w/ her since I stare at her whenever she’s near me, lol. I hope she isn’t already creeped out.</p>
<p>I don’t exactly think I want to do the drop pencil, ask her is this yours thing, that’s too cliche for me. I’ll just go straight up to her, hopefully sometime next week.</p>
