How to start talking to this girl... but problem...
Here's a unique one...
There is this girl that I worked with at a day camp last summer. I thought she was pretty cute and had a really nice personality, but I really didn't get to know her that well when working with each other. I'm the pretty shy type--the usual circumstance of these sorts of things.
Also, I started dating another girl at the end of last summer, which would have impeded any notion at the time to try and get to know this girl a little better had I been interested, in which I really wasn't at the time.
A semester went by. I think I added her to facebook.com (a myspace.com type deal for college students) over that semester. And over the Christmas break, I saw her working at a Macy's and I stopped to have a little conversation with her. It was brief, mostly about work and such. At this time, I was about two days away from breaking up with my girlfriend from the summer and fall (in a matter totally unrelated to this at all... and we did break up), and during my conversation with her, I couldn't help but notice how attractive she was and how I liked her personality. I think if I had been single at that moment, I would have asked her out for a cup of coffee or something or asked her to hang out sometime.
Maybe I should have anyway.
Anyways, now. I haven't been obsessing over this (I am not like a stalker or anything), but the thought crosses my mind every once in a while when I see her picture on facebook.com. I could probably live the rest of my life and it would not phase me either way if I tried to get to know her better, but a part of me says that I should not pass over any of life's potential opportunities (even if it is just a chance to get to know a new friend). The problem is that although she lives around this area, she goes to school three hours away from where I live. Perhaps I could simply start talking to her, as I have her IM name.
Should I try talking to her on IM? How would I start the conversation? Do you think this is even worth it? What do you think?
Thanks!
