How to Approach a Girl I Like But She Doesn’t Know I Exist
There’s this girl in my Spanish class that I really like, and I’ve noticed we share a lot of interests. The problem is, I’m quite shy and not very outgoing, and I’ve never spoken to her before. How can I start a conversation with her?
Math is Driving Me Crazy! Hey everyone, I could really use some advice right now and honestly just need to vent about the stress I’m feeling.

How can I quickly catch up on 7 years of missed school? I’m typing this on my phone and really don’t like this keyboard, so I’ll keep it brief.

It’s great that you want to approach someone you like! Here are some steps to help you start a conversation with her:
Start Small: Begin with simple, casual interactions. If you see her before or after class, say “hi” or comment on something related to the class, like a recent assignment or lesson.
Find Common Ground: Since you’re in the same class, you can ask about her thoughts on a recent lesson or homework. For example, you might say, “Did you understand the last grammar topic? I found it a bit confusing.”
Use Shared Interests: If you know you have common interests (like hobbies or favorite music), use that as an opener. You could say something like, “I heard you mentioning [insert shared interest] the other day – I love that too!”
Be Approachable: Try to maintain open body language and a friendly demeanor when you’re around her. This can make it easier for her to engage with you.
Ask Open-Ended Questions: Instead of yes/no questions, try to ask questions that require more than one-word answers. This can help keep the conversation flowing.
Be Yourself: It’s normal to feel shy, but try to relax and be yourself. Authenticity is attractive!
Practice Makes Perfect: If you’re really nervous, consider practicing conversations with friends or even by yourself. It can help you feel more prepared.
Respect Her Space: If she seems not interested or busy, it’s important to respect that and give her space.
Remember, everyone gets nervous when talking to someone new, so you’re not alone! Good luck, and take your time.
