When is the best time to approach a girl at school?

Question:
How would you approach a girl at school? When do you think is the best time to approach her (after school)? Also, how should I present myself (Hi! I’m a guy from your chemistry class.. My name is ‘X’ )?

Answer:
You want to make sure to catch her at the most convenient time for her, not yourself - that’s the best time to approach. Don’t try it when she’s in a hurry or in the middle of conversation with others.

You’re probably going to roll your eyes at this but the best way to approach her is to be yourself. Yeah, I know, you’ve heard that before. Yeah, I know, you might be thinking, “But being myself doesn’t work!”

Trust me, it works!

Just play it cool, by which I mean don’t look nervous. Go up to her and say “Hey, you’re in my chemistry class. I’m Shawn.” She’ll respond, probably by introducing herself. When she does try to keep the conversation going using some of the techniques in the article How to start a conversation.

Good luck man!

    Welcome Ehis. Sorry for the late reply but my personal life has been hectic lately. Again, I am really sorry and I hope the information I provide is helpful.

    I know how you feel. I think your problem might be simple and yet complicated at the same time. It could be that you are simply psyching yourself out. It sounds as if you’re putting too much pressure on yourself to come up with something witty/funny/interesting to say. This keeps you from enjoying the natural ebb and flow of a good date/conversation.

    The key is to stay calm and have a good time. If you can do those two things, your date will feel more at ease (not to mention yourself) and before you know it the both of you will be laughing and having fun.

    Remember, don’t worry so much about it. Concentrate on being relaxed, the fun will follow.

    Good luck Ehis!

    Hey! I’m a girl, and I wanted to see what guys think. Being yourself really does work…because it shows the girl that your not afraid to be who you really are around her. Ask the girl questions, and she will answer them, and then you will get into a great conversation. Ask her about her schedule, her friends, and possible vacations that she has recently had. Coming from a girl, this advice really works!!!
    Try it out. Good luck on your next date!

    I’ve known this girl for 4 years now, but really only as an acquaintance. She’s in my homeroom which meets for only 20 minutes every Thursday. I sat next to her last year in a class and we talked a little but then I got really shy. I don’t know anything about her. I’ve really liked her since then but I don’t know how to talk to her. What should I do?
