How to pick up a girl in said situation..(yeah yeah another one)

[Anah'ya]

--insert question here--

--elaborate locker trick--

Do what he said. Seriously. Any girl that's worth your time will appreciate the effort put into this. And if she can't, then she aint good material.

...the only issue there is Murphy. He likes to mess things up.

I'd go up to her at some point just before she's due to go to her locker and, as casually as possible, ask her if she's seen some valuable page of notes/assignment or homework sheet that you have lost. If she asks why you're asking her just say you last saw it near your locker and thought since she's close by she might have seen something. Anyway, just keep chatting small talk about how annoying it is when people pinch stuff until she opens her locker, and voila- inside her locker is your sheet of notes, slipped under the door earlier by *someone*... (that's you by the way). Pick it up and give her a sly grin and start playfully accusing her of stealing it herself. She'll either be astonished that it was there and be focused on proving her innocence to you, or will figure out it was you and accuse you of doing it just to talk with her.

Whichever it is, just hear none of it and keep playfully accusing her of doing it just to talk with you as you slip it into a folder and get ready to go to a class (real or imagined). Cut her off at some point and casually say that you have to get to class, but that the matter ain't over. Make sure you say all that with plenty of tongue in cheek, as if even if she had done it you didn't really mind. Make your exit, and she'll be thinking about you for the rest of the day.

Better still, next time you're both at your lockers you're pretty much guaranteed that she'll strike up a conversation with you, either to continue pleading her innocence or continue labeling you as the culprit. If she's a bit shy about doing so just flash her that sly smile without saying anything when you're both at your lockers. Throw in a slow head shake as you return focus back to your locker too and it should do the trick. Continue to pretend it's all a ploy from her with plenty of 'yeah, yeah, yeahs' etc.

You can either wait through several of these encounters to ease into a date proposition, which is fun but risks her putting you in the friend zone, or you can grab the bull by the horns and on the second or third (but NOT the first!) such conversation just say (again casually) "Alright, how about we sort this out once and for all over coffee/lunch/dinner sometime? Which you ask depends on the girl really, just make sure it's something away from school with just the two of you. After that you'll be cruising.

Let me know if this proves helpful. Good luck, mate!

That is.....Brilliant

hats off to you mate.

You: "Hi, do you know how much a polar bear weighs?"
Her: "No."
You: "I don't know either, but I thought it might help to break the ice!"

There have been some very good suggestions on here, but I think I prefer simplicity. That being said, here is my simple plan for you to get a date.

First, you'll need to obtain 50 yards of rope, a microwave, a large bowl of cherry gelatin, 3 puppies, a plastic dinosaur, a copy of Catcher in the Rye, a swivel chair, and a surf board.

Second, take said supplies to your locker and begin stacking them.

Lastly, when she asks why you have all those things, tell her it's because you thought it would be a good way to get to talk to her...which you are doing now.

What you choose to do with the items after that is up to you. You are already talking to her and she totally doesn't think you're a creep...or maybe she does. On second thought, maybe you should stick to a "hi".

Pure genius!

If you're not going to listen with regular information (like freaking talking to her >.>) do this.

Step 1. Introduce yourself
Step 2. Gradually increase amount and depth of conversation
Step 3. Ask her out

This.

Seriously, don't try and make a big production of this. Elaborate schemes for getting someone to date you is for sitcoms and lonely people who aspire to supervillainy. How good you look is not a major factor either (though this is high school, and I'm sure it doesn't hurt if you're moderately attractive).

Start with the introduction. Just say 'Hi, my name is (insert here)'. If she shows something beyond apathy towards you, continue the conversation with something natural. If you don't have anything to say, you can follow up with, 'It's kind of odd our lockers have been so close to each other's for four years and we've never said hi.' A little humor and a show of friendliness. Or the standard, 'Can't wait for this day to be over.' That'll serve you well into your adult life.

Let the conversation flow naturally, or you'll sound like a random creep trying to pick her up. Been there, done that, gone home embarrassed and ashamed, so trust me on that. If you can talk to girls at parties so easily, this won't be that hard.

And if you feel like you've got a shot after all that, start asking what she likes to do for fun, and if something she says strikes your fancy, ask if you can take her out to wherever.


Short version: Just say hi, make a little small talk (just experiment and learn by doing; you're 17, you're not supposed to be suave yet), and if she seems interested in you, ask her out. The rest is up to her and God, mate, so good luck. If it sounds obvious, it's because it is, and you can't rely on group tactics forever.
