Question about an important subject

Well, important to a guy in unversity at least.

Here's the story.

I was sitting in a tutorial and this girl that I've never seen before and she's really cute.

I'm sitting directly across from her and I look up at her from time to time, and most of the times she's looking back at me/my direction.

I was thinking maybe there was a clock over my head, but I didn't think that until I got home.

So what should I do? How should I approach this situation?

No cheesy pick up lines. Just start talking about something that you have in common...

"Did you understand what he was talking about when he said..."

"Have you started studying for the final yet..."

"Did you agree when he said..."


Whatever...just to get the ball rolling. Once you get past the awkward first line, the rest is cake.

Good luck to ya bro...let us know how it goes.

I'd give it a little more time and / or figure out if there is a clock above you before you make a move. If there is no clock and the glances continue, there's no harm in talking to her.

Good advice. I think I'll do that. I'll need some time to grow a pair anyway.

Oh, as well. Is it common for a girl to just be like, "Don't talk to me"

Keep in mind, I've been told by a lot of people that I'm a "good looking guy" or "hot".

I'm not trying to be cocky, just giving some background, since I'm far from cocky.

If you're interested in this girl, dont be too laid back, or you'll end up in the "friend zone"

but the best advice is be yourself around her, and yeah i agree with no cheezy pickup lines

if she likes you for being you, you're golden

Next time you want to know if a person is looking at you, look down at your watch, then look in her direction.

Chances are if she was looking at you, she'll check her watch too. Not foolproof mind you, but it has worked for me on occassion.

This is true too.

Or, just make faces at her or doing something unusual.

If she starts laughing/smiling, or in general reacts, she was definitely looking at you.

If she is looking at you, that is a womans way of saying "come talk to me" and your in. Just be yourself, and don't be too sappy.

I highly doubt that she would do that. Just talk to her some day! See if she wants to study with her, ask to see her notes or something. If she's interested you'll be able to tell, if she's not you'll also notice that.

Don't be nervous. And be sure to grow that pair soon, don't want some other guy to snatch her up Good luck!

Haha no, I don't want another guy to snatch her up (assuming she doesn't have a BF already)

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll see her next week in class.

If anybody else has some advice, I'd certainly like to hear it.

Just donīt wait too long to make a move because if this class is only once a week, then maybe one week you wont be there or she wonīt be there, and after looking back and forth the semester is gone and you didnīt talk to her.

Yep. In the end you're better off regretting talking with her than regretting that you never made a move.

Next time you go to class, walk over to her and ask her if the seat next to her is taken.

Sit down, and introduce yourself.

In a behavioral study, they found that women were the actual initiators of discussion/hookups in bars. The woman cues the guy with eye contact, signaling she's interested/receptive to him. That's the point that he gets the balls to go over and talk to her. All the while, the man thinks he started it.

...that could've been/could be your cue.

if you catch her eyes, if you stare eachother down, dont deflect your gaze first, if she changes her gaze first it's a sign you are confident

Or it could be that she thinks you're creepy for staring her down too intently.

Dude, just be yourself.

Next time you think she's looking at you make eye contact and do like the 'hey' gesture with your head, if she returns your hello consider it your invitation. Thats what I would do anyway.

This is VERY true! I made great eye contact with a beautifule blonde woman last night while I was at Dave & Buster's of all places. My friends were leaving just after the contact initiated so I just left. SILLY of me not to go and at least say "Hi...I think you are very pretty". Now I regret not saying something to her...

That won't happen again!

A WONDERFUL pick-up line if you want to get slapped across the face and lose all chances of getting to know her!

And another bad idea (*sigh*....men)! Well, I think that those 2 are extremely bad lines, and I'ma girl, and I would definatley not be interested in a guy that would say such things to me right off the bat. I would think that he's a jerk/player, roll my eyes at those pathetic lines, and pay no attention to him from then on.

Just smile at her when you make eye contact, and see where that gets you. If she smiles back, then go over and sit by her, and make conversation, using none of the above lines. Just start out by asking her questions that have to do with the class, then ask her about herself, and eventually see if you can set up a date with her sometime...good luck!

Do not do this unless you want to be labelled as an asshole.

Women HATE cheesy pick up lines....humorous or not. Smiles work wonders! If she is interested, she'll smile back - we are that easy! Sit down and say hello (the best pick-up line if we are interested at all)....be yourself.

Don't be an idiot! Don't use the "I'm too good for you" hard-to-get attitude....or don't use the "hey baby...look at me, I'm so hot you should be lucky to talk to me" ....... EWWWW.

Next time you see her, talk to her! Ask if she would like to get together and study. The subject you're both studying is a commonality that you should exploit. It'll give you a chance to get to know her a little better and you can really find out if she's diggin ya. When it feels comfortable, suggest you two get together sometime, see a movie or whatever floats your boat. What the worst that can happen?

For some reason, I never thought about smiling and seeing if she smiles back was something that works. Thanks for that tidbit. I've been in this situation many times and I never know what to do.

Well here's the update, since I had the class today.

Well, I waltz into class 20 minutes late because I overslept...typical.

I sit down in the middle of the room and check the door to see if there was a clock over my head.

There is was no clock over my head.

So I have have until next week to grow some balls and talk to her.
