Advice on how to approach this...

[Sneaklemming]

Be direct - put yourself out there and be confident. Let her make the next move. Just don't be creepy about it, ask her if she wants to get a coffee sometime or a drink or w/e.

If she says no - then you can at least hold your head high in the thought that you tried.

Try to be friends first, if that is going too slowly, then just be honest. Ask to speak to her sometime, and just tell her how you feel, if she takes it well, ask her out some time, if not, then at least you tried and didn't wait until she moved on. Waiting too long just causes problems both ways.

Just make sure you seize the day, and quickly before you get put on the friend zone.

There's this girl, you see, and she's really special. I really like her, and I think she likes me as well (this is just a guess, cos she's been acting more... affectionate toward me lately), but I don't know how to tell her how I really feel. We are friends, and we talk frequently, but it's never just me and her, there's always other people around. This is a big problem, cos she always seems to be surrounded by someone, and I can't get a minute alone with her. But the thing is that I've been here before. I've been with girls before, but none of them were so hard to talk to about my feelings. Don't take this as me asking you for pick-up lines or something, but just a way to get her attention. As I've said, she is very special to me, so I want to make sure to get her attention in a special way. Perhaps something that you did and worked for you?

Many thanks in advance.

Aww man, i know how you feel, i was in the exact situation 2 years ago. Never a moment alone, always around people... twas frustrating. But, i finally told her the instant we were alone one day... i was pretty awkward about it, but i just flat out told her how i felt and, now, two years later we're still together...

So yeah, seize the first opportunity you get and tell her straight out; If she says no, at least you tried.

I believe this will rightly solve your particular situation...

And if he needs the motivation I've got this to add:


OT: Sounds like you've got to pick the right moment. Sometime in the hallway while she's walking catch her and ask if she wants to hang out with you after school or something. Just explain that you want to talk to her alone. Then be completely honest. If she feels the same way, she'll be glad you took the first steps. If she doesn't see you in that way, well don't worry. It hurts way more to shy away each time there is an opportunity. Trust me, in Highschool I went through my graduation without an escort because I was too nervous ask the girl until it was too late.

My advice would be there is a time and place for everything. However, getting a womens attention is very easy. IF you truely do enjoy her company, make a bold statement. Friends around or not breifly explain how you enjoy spending time with her and ask her out in front of the friends.Crazy move yes. Very much so but I guantee it will work and send the statement to her right away you really like her alot. Im not saying tell her you love her and proclaim victory in fron of her friends but I am saying make a bold statement and ask her out in front of the friends an walk away for a few. Pretend you got a call or something on your cell. By walking away you let girls do what they do best. Talk an consult each other.

When you return say something like hey sorry about that, mom calling me to remind me to be home at X time. Then jump right back to the question. "So would you like to go hangout sometime with me at a movie or something? I really enjoy your company and I'd like to get to know you a little better." (Knod your head yes). Why knod the head? Well a sale person told me a little trick along time ago about getting people to agree. Lets say I'm selling you a TV. An the price is nice but your still not sure. Or your kinda walking on a fence. You can jump off to the left or the right. Knoding the head will subbliminaly make you answer yes. Knoding no will make you say no. If your on the line so to speak.

Also if her friends like you. that will be in your favor as well. Girls relie on each other for answers. Having two sisters taught me alot about how women think and react. Its really not that hard to understand women. But know younger women relie on there little girl click to answer their problems. Thus why you never see girls alone.

Another option- Invite everyone to a party. Assuming she doesn't get rip roaring drunk, you can end up being the last two awake as the two of you chat under a blanket in the dark. Spend the night cuddled together, hey, presto, and you didn't even have to actually ask her out.

Good ideas but it's always good to get some sort of agreement verbally or otherwise. Else you still don't necessarily know what's going on.

OP: You might regret trying, but you'll definitely regret not trying. Ask her the fuck out.

Whatever you do, don't wet yourself in front of her.

Best advice I've got...

Wow so true lol

The people before me have made all the arguments I find necessary. 'specially Yureina and InterAirplay.

I know already that this girl likes a guy like you when he's willing to take the lead, confident. You're a sweet guy, and sweet confident guys get all the right girls.

Walk up to her and say "Hey, come here for a minute," and lead her away from her friends. Don't worry about having other people besides them around, because they won't care what you have to say to her and will ignore you. Then when you're alone with her, ask her to something specific (doesn't matter what, just matters that you have something in mind and that it isn't a movie), for "just you and me." Then when you're out with her, tell her how you feel. It's just that easy.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Do something out of the ordinary when you know she's watching: juggle bowling pins, balance strange items, or stand on your head.

When she asks what you are doing, say you were just doing something so she would talk to you.

And thus, the ice is broken.

"Do you like me"

Blunt as the broad end of a shovel, but if you know how to work it, it'll almost always work and get you somewhere good. My romantic exploits are incredibly limited (I'd say literally if you knew me,) but I still somehow end up attracting a girl every month or two, so I almost always use that to get where I want to go. Which is usually out but sometimes just meandering around.

 

[krimson_dropz]

well i'm no casanova but the way i'd handle it is just get the proverbial balls up and ask her out, like a headbutt to the face. however if you want something more...refined or subtle you could frame it as a hypothetical situation asking for advice, and watch her reaction when bringing up "this girl that i like" or however you phrase it and after she says whatever she says ask her what she would say if it was her you were talking about. or finally schedual some time to hang out alone and ask her then.

 

[Daffy F]

cos she always seems to be surrounded by someone

How can you be surrounded by one person?
[/flippant internet quip]
I'd say just ask her if you can have a quick word away from the others. Worked for me
