So there is this girl who is super cute and is in a couple of my classes at college. I had been thinking of ways to break the ice with her for a little bit when there was a seat open next to her in class so I took it.

 

I made a few comments about the class and had her laughing, then had a small conversations with her here and there making her laugh throughout the class. I also brought up another class we had and already knew I was in there with her so she had obviously noticed me too.

 

The next day I walked past her and she smiled at me and I smiled back, but since then I just haven't talked to her. After every class she puts in her headphones and walks at a fast pace to her next class. I'm finding it difficult to just simply walk up to her and start a conversation.

 

I want to just talk to her, but I just can't seem to break this shyness of mine. I feel like I'll just end up being awkward or creepy, which is the very LAST thing I want to do.

 

What's the best way to approach this?

When class is breaking up, offer to walk her to her next class before she pops her headphones in. Or, if you want to be less direct, ask her where her next class is and once she answers, say "Oh, I'm heading in that direction too, I'll walk with you". Just act natural, and casual. Humour is a great way to break the ice, so keep making her laugh! Girls love funny guys. Good luck :)

Ask her what she's listening to in her headphones before she puts them in, what's her favorite music, songs etc. Ask if she's ever been to a concert. Ask her her favorite clubs. Then tell her to give you her number and next time you go out you can invite her. You don't set up a date. You call her when you have something good planned and tell her you want her to come with you. You lead. She follows.

 

You can be funny as well but don't be a clown. Girls like funny guys but not clowns. You have to mix in serious interest in them (question them and LISTEN) aws well as humor at times. If she laughs at simple things you say that you don't even think are really funny she is probably liking you.

I say just go up to her while she has her headphones on. You guys already have a rapport going. Ask her what she's listening to, and she'll likely take them off to talk if she's interested.

 

There's got to be a situation where you have the opportunity to talk to her. Stop making excuses! (I do the same :()

If she's putting her headphones on as soon as she leaves class, odds are she is not into you.

 

When someone is into you, you can't keep them away with a flaming stick.

 

She probably sees you as a cool guy to talk to during class, but doesn't see you as a romantic option.

It sounds to me like you are not shy, you had her talking and laughing. She smiled at you outside of class. I think you had something going and just didn't close the deal while the iron was hot. Follow the advise above and if it works out great, if not then there are plenty more women out there. You'll never know unless you try......
