College Question: Reborn

[evolvingnerd]

ok fellas
now there's this surpsingly good looking chick in class, yet for two weeks she's been sitting on her own
tomorrow, possibly day after, i am GOING TO INTRO MYSELF

now i know she's seen me around, but i was wondering what to do and say
i want her as a friend, but like a good friend
i'm pretty sure she's smart, studious like, and damn i could use some smart friends

anyhoo, entrance to the lecture theatre is from the back, so it's hard to get EC when i walk in (unless i walk to the front of the lecture theatre (past the zillions of empty seats) and then walk back up)

I need a gameplan ppl
*edit* and what do i do at the end of the lecture?
cheers

but then what?
i've found that i give out the vibe tha i've been wanting to meet them for a while, and hence act desperate

try coming in sort of late, then maybe there might be an empty seat by her or a seat someone was afraid to take next to her. hell, walk in and drop your book, maybe she'll look back and when she does make eye contact and smile. then walk by and say somethin funny about it and grab a seat sort of close to hers.

now i know she's a smart gal
when the lecturer baffles us, and everyone's like wtf?
she's calmly writing it down, and going ahead with the proof before the lecturer

now i definitley do'nt wanna look like i'm stagin a scene

so perhaps something more direct, like just wakling straight up and sitting right next to her is in order?

btw, shes' always there early, and she sits just off centre with free seats by both her sides

(why she hasn't got friends is beyond me, perhaps i'll find out after meeting her eh)

and also, what do i do afterwards?
if she's doing the same course as me, then we'll have quite a few frees together

ideas??

Dood, you worry too much.

The only thing worrying about pregames and consequences does is ruin your confidence. Just make the approach as quickly and with as little thought as possible. Don't treat it carefully, and don't think of the consequences. ~Zappa

Why not catch her on the way out of class and ask her to help you study for the next test or for help with a current assignment? That way, you don't offend her by invading her space, she might not want to be bothered during class.

It sounds like you are nervous about doing this when others are around...

If she shows up to class early why don't you do the same? This should be easy stuff man. You said you want her for a friend so what's so hard about making a new friend eh?

Walk her to class and get to know her as a person, not a classmate. Don't let your confidence suffer; just go up to her all relaxed and say something like:

"Hi there, my name is evolvingnerd. What's yours?"
If you walk into class with her then it should be that much easier for you to sit beside her.

When the lecture ends just do a basic close.
"We should have coffee sometime. Why don't you write down your number and i'll give you a call?"

Remember, have fun with it. If it doesn't work out you aren't obligated to sit beside her for the rest of the year.
Also your grades may improve

Just dont get all oneitis on your new 'friend'

Some news, ALL COLLEGE GIRLS ARE INCREDIBLY SELF AWARE AND LACK SELF ESTEEM. especially the ones who don't sit with friends in class. if you walk up and introduce yourself to her you will probably make her day because she'll figure she will not have to sit through class alone again. sit down RIGHT NEXT TO HER say hi and ask about how she takes notes or something, make fun of the proffessor or the book, if she gives you the cold shoulder, sitting in class is the best time to place a good neg hit. "how you doing with the reading, bet you could use some pictures in the book." lol
Don't stress it, more than likely she'll be thrilled to speak to someone. CONFIDENCE
