So, I first came on here a few months ago, confessing that I had developed a crush on a girl I know from class who already had a boyfriend. As suggested, I never said anything to her about it, we finished the project we were working on together, and that was that. Well, about 2-3 months ago, over winter break, this girl I've had a thing for broke up with her boyfriend and has been single ever since.

 

Anyways, I still reallly like this girl, and I've been dieing to find some way to get her attention for a while and start up a conversation. The only problem is I just don't have the same opportunities to do so that I did last semester and I can't seem to figure out what it is I need to do.

 

The only time I ever see her around now is once a week when we are both in the same 2 hour lecture with about 175 students in it. I might see her go past me on her scooter on the way to or from class, or maybe sitting by herself in class but that's it. We sometimes talk a little over facebook, but never more than just a few lines worth of comments.

 

I can't seem to take it to the next level though. I always end up chickening out when I see a seat next to her in class, or when she passes me by on the way there. I have her number from when we were working on a group project together last semester, but I can't seem to think of any excuse to call or text her either.

 

When I think about her meeting someone else before I ever work up the courage to make some kind of move though my stomach drops. The longer I let this go on the worse I feel too, and I know for damn sure if I let this opportunity pass me by I will regret it for a very long time.

 

I could really use some solid advice on how to go from here. I just keep over-thinking my situation and letting my shyness hold me back. Any suggestions would be really helpful right now.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this by way.

If you're nervous about trying to ask her out, you could start small I suppose. If there is an empty seat next to her in class, I would snag that

Ask her a question about the class? Say you lost a handout or your syllabus or something and ask if you can make a copy of hers? Go from there and ask how she's been and do some small talk. Then you can ask her if she wants to go get coffee with you. "Thanks for letting me make a copy, you're a life saver. I owe you one. Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
