Being a community college student can be pretty tough when it comes to making new connections wheather it be friendships or relationships. So here's my problem, theres this girl in one of my classes who I really want to get to know. Luckily for me it's still early in the year and sometimes we would see each other while waiting for class to start. Unfortunatly in class we rarely have time to socialize and to make matters worse she's extremely quiet.

So does it sound like an impossible situation and I should just give up on this?
You know since, everyones so caught up on their own lives in community college.

haa, thanks for reading.

Just go up to her and ask a random question like, "So what'd you think about the last midterm?" or "Did you understand how to do homework?" Then introduce yourself and remember to smile!
Eventually ask, "Hey do you want to study together some time?" so that you can start hanging out with her.
And take it from there~

Look at it this way: no competition from other guys. Hope she's single.

Since you two are in the same class, that would make the situation extremely easier.

Haa, I meant socializing as in working in groups.

&Thanks guys, I never thought about it like that. I'll make sure to talk her, the next time I see her around.

Wait, wait... do guys actually get a relationship going by trying to get closer to the girl by 'studying'?
I mean, I'm certain the girl will realize you have ulterior motives. It's just so suspicious...

You don't have ulterior motives, unless you think you do. She can be paranoid all she wants, you just want a study buddy.

In college, yes. People are really serious when they want to study.

^ I agree. This actually works. I approached a girl in a similar manner cause she was really really cute but apparently she's too old for me LOL. We're really good friends now though. But if you want to approach her, you could just sit next to her... It is college after all. I wouldn't ask to "study" right away though. You probably wouldn't want to ask to study with the person until you know each other for at least a week or so because it would be too obvious you are attracted to her.

LOLOLOL! i'd totally fall for that haha

chances are she's probably quiet in class cause she doesn't know anyone ?
so one day if the seat next to her is avail then sit there, make small talk with her till she's
comfortable. And if you see her around outside of class then make eye contact, smile and greet her.

it takes time to build a friendship, don't jump the gun and ask her out right away or she'll def think your
a creep haha~

if you take the time to approach her she'll eventually open up. I for one really appreciate it when
the guy initiates conversation haha cause i'm just so awkward when dealing with strangers >.<

This is a really good post. Things as simple as small talk, smiles, and eye contact can really say a lot to a person. She might not know that you're interested in her specifically, but she'll definitely know that you're picking her out of an entire class to get to know her.

How do you know if she is really quiet or not if you barely talk to her to begin with. You won't know for sure until you actually try and communicate with her. Some people won't just open up until they feel comfortable with you.

What are you giving up if you never even got started lol. You have to get started first before you can determine if it's an impossible situation or not, but I can pretty much bet you that it's not impossible. I bet it's more improbable because of your lack of courage.

Listen dude...Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and take a chance because you never know. Either way, you will know if you give it a shot, one way or the other. It's easier said than done, but you will kick yourself if you don't at least give it a try.

Instead of trying to come up with all this ways and ideas of trying to talk to her and using some sort of lines....

I say you K.I.S.S. it...Keep It Simple Stupid wink.gif

Start by saying...."HI, my name is______." "What's your name?" "I've noticed you in this class, so I thought I would introduce myself".........

Then you can talk about the class and just let it flow from there my brotha! JUST BE YOURSELF and don't try so hard; in other words, LESS IS BETTER! It's a lot easier than you think. You have to start somewhere, so why not now. Better late than never.

Good luck!!!

Seriously, you guys thanks!
I guess you can say it is a lack of courage and confidence.
But I'm in college now, and just as plegend2007 said, it's time to bite the bullet

good luck, shouldn't be too hard. Just talk to her, she won't think you're creepy, unless you make a complete idiot of yourself.
