Q: If you are in similar classes or you've seen her reading a book you read, bring that up so you have something to talk about together. Bonding over something you have in common is a great way to get to know more about her! Introduce yourself to the girl you like if she doesn't know your name. Try walking up to her and saying, "Hey. my name is Sam. What's your name?" One way to do this is to ask her how her classes are going and what her favorite class is. Let her talk about her favorite subject and listen rather than interrupt her. Don't pretend to share the same interests with her just to make her interested in you, because she'll figure it out and you may lose her trust. Ask her if she has any pets, what her hobbies are, and if she's involved in any after-school groups. Don't ask her for her number or say anything about dating right off the bat, because that may make her uncomfortable. Open a conversation with, "How was the test in English?" or "How's your day going?" Don't say, "You look good. Can I get your number?" This isn't a conversation opener. Start by complimenting something that's obvious like her style. Say you like her glasses or hair today. If you know more about her personally, compliment her intelligence or something else you like about her personality. Say something positive about her creativity, her compassion, or anything you like about her. Remember, sexual harassment is not a compliment. Avoid saying anything about sex if you haven't gotten her consent to talk about it with her. If you know that she likes to make art, tell her, "You're very creative. I'd like to see more of your work." If you're in the same class, and she made an insightful comment, tell her, "You're really perceptive." It will make her feel good about herself! Talk about your interests, such as hobbies, music, books, shows, and so on. Don't be insincere and make up stories that you're on the football team when you're not, but don't be afraid to talk about things you've accomplished! A girl will want to know you for who you are. The more you share your interests, the more you'll find out you have in common! Maybe you don't like the same books that she does, but remember that conversation you had where she told you what books she likes? That's where listening is helpful, because you can show your interest by giving her a book by an author she likes as a gift. Anyone would be deeply touched by this. For example, if you've been listening to this girl, you might remember that she likes a certain movie franchise, so maybe you can get two tickets to see the next installment. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. The point is that you're demonstrating you've been listening to her. Once you know more about her, ask her if you can talk to her privately. Then, when you're alone with her, ask her out! Try not to jump straight into the question. Instead, add her about her day, make small talk, then ask her out. You might ask her if she's doing anything this weekend, and then say something like "I'd like to get to know you better, and I was wondering if you'd like to get some coffee with me this weekend?" Another example would be, "That new movie that you've been wanting to see is playing. Would you like to go see it with me?" " If you don't want to show the girl how much you're feeling yet, then inviting her to a party you're hosting or an event with a group of friends will allow you to spend time with her without expressing vulnerable emotions early on. This is a great opportunity to learn more about each other. You're more likely to get a "yes!" if you don't try to play off your request. Even if she says no, say "ok" and respect her decision. It might be tempting to pretend you asker her out as a joke, but that might hurt your friendship in the long run.
A: Find common ground by talking to her. Learn more by talking to her about her life. Compliment her. Be honest about yourself and your accomplishments. Show her that you're listening to her while she talks. Ask her out directly once you've become friends. Ask her to go with you to an event with your friends to make it seem less like a "date. Be sincere when asking her out.

Q: Individuals who have satisfying interpersonal relationships and friendships show reduced depression, a more positive outlook, and a better ability to deal with challenging situations and feelings overall. Social support can help reduce stress that is associated with feeling lonely. Going to therapy and going to family therapy are good ways to work on your relationships. Focus on engaging in social activities that can lead to friendships. Keep away from cynical and negative people if they bring you down. Ask for help when you need it. Rejection can be more of a worry when you feel lonely. Try not to put pressure on yourself to make a new best friend or a fantastic conversation with each social interaction. Instead, try to enjoy the feeling of connecting in the moment. Social networking allows you to connect without having to worry too much about rejection. Try leaving a comment on someone's post, or sending someone a short message. When you're socializing in person, whether with someone you know or a stranger, try making small talk. You can start with the friendly question, "How is your day going?". Asking someone how their day is going may not seem like the start of a profound conversation, but it allows you to make a small connection with anyone you meet. If it leads to a deeper conversation, that's fine; if not, you've still shared a moment with another person. Signing up for a dating website, joining a group or club, volunteering, or taking a class are just a few ways to put yourself in situations where you'll meet new people who share common interests. If you are interested in and connect with someone, a great way to follow up is by adding him or her on a social networking site (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). Remember that the relationships you form may not grow deeper right away, and that's OK. For now, focus on how it feels to connect with people in the moment. It can be tough to get out there and socialize. Each time you make a connection, whether it's making small talk with a stranger or asking someone in your class out for coffee, be proud of yourself for reaching out. Feeling positive about your social achievements will help you continue making an effort to connect with people. As your social needs are increasingly met, you'll begin to feel less lonely.
A:
Develop healthy relationships. Have realistic expectations when you socialize. Be open to meeting new people. Be proud when you make progress.
