No such thing as "just a friend" when it comes to women. With association, feelings will develop. That is how I'm getting into trouble.

Also, bringing a cherry pie around is NOT cool. But I like your idea. Bonus if your cherry pie actually tastes good, then she'd know that you can at least make your way around teh kitchen.

We didn't got on the same bus today. :( but I did saw her and I'm f*cked. I wasn't able to approach her because she was in a hurry it seems weird to approach that way. -_-

Good luck for me tomorrow. :D

No worries. You're making yourself desperate.

Another trick you can try: As she gets off the bus, run after her with a piece of paper and tell her she dropped it. Put your phone number and your name there, and probably say: "I think you're cute. Here's my phone number."

Heh, another stickler for grammar.

[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
If she thinks you're cute too, she'll give you her number. If she doesn't, you have at least tried.

Also, try putting something sweet on the paper and such. Getting her interest is key here :D

Besides, you already went the less alpha way by giving the number indirectly. Some cockiness should be shown.

If you just want to be her friend, then just talk. Find something about her that you think she would like and just carry on a conversation from there. Nothing fancy or long, but make it memorable. you are on the same stop or whatever so you're bound to talk again. I would drop the star wars thing, chicks aren't into that unless they are on the nerdy side. This really isn't the site to get tips from, maybe do some Google search or something. I'm a really outgoing person so i talk to random people all the time, its just normal to me. Make her laugh, thats always a plus.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Used to be quite the ladies man until I reformed. There was a time when I just go around getting their numbers and chatting with them, but never let things develop beyond that. Then I lost control and I'd be spending entire weeks hitting up on girls and doing stuff with them, regardless of weekday/weekend differences.

I really hated myself after that, and then I moved back to stay with my family.

[Off-topic] civicvx94:
I read through the first two pages and saw nothing that could benefit ya, so I'll throw some advice out there.

Alright, so this is what I would do/have done in slightly different circumstances...so you've seen this chick a few times (enough so she would remember seeing you?) and you ride the same bus and go to the same school...

well next time you see her, try to make subtle eye contact(like randomly catch eyes)...if she catches and doesn't look away immediately then here's your chance to approach her... (if she doesnt make contact or looks away quickly, at this point I would just try to give a friendly hello when/if you can get a chance during todays possible contact, but not approach for convo yet and try again tmrw).

So once you get the eye contact, now you approach her....try to seem as nonchalant/ random as possible...walk up and just say 'hey how ya doing' or 'brrr its cold out here' ..whatever..just hope for a friendly response, then respond..then somehow then just get your name out there, "..so I'm dave - whats your name?"...boom..now you've became an acquaintance and the rest is in your hands young skywalker.

Tip 1: all about confidence, even if you sound retarded and say something really dumb/out there...just say it with confidence. posture yourself. dont act desperate.

Tip 2: if she walks away or doesnt respond friendly she's either a ***** or really hard to crack.

And I just read the part where you said you just want to be her friend...yeaaah right! if you just wanted to be her friend you wouldn't be asking a forum how to talk to her ;) Goodluck! haha

Anyhuuuuu , I think I have some tips :p

-If she looks at you , wave at her (I usually wave at girls childishly and they think it's cute :3)

-She should either reply with either a short wave or a "hi"

-Here's your chance , sit opposite her and start asking how is she or how the day is etc . (NOT beside her , girls and guys shouldn't be that close if they're just acquaintances)

-After a few subjects , you could start to introduce yourself and maybe she'll introduce herself as well ;)

here is what i'd do personally:

"hello there, its been a pleasure to meet you. my name is XDAderp."

*pulls out hand acting natural while sorta look like youre demending a handshake

*while having your phone in your other hand, JUST IN CASE things go bad and then

you can just fiddle back with your phone and pretend nothing happened :)

thats what i'd do, usually.

not sure if that works, but in the end its all about you taking the initiative (or whoever, idk lol)

oh and btw, op plz do report on your latest progresses! it would be really entertaining for us to hear :D :D :D :D
[Off-topic] cobraboy85:
Look kid. I don’t know what everybody else has been telling you but let me tell you something right now that you need to remember for the rest of your life.

It doesn’t matter what the hell you say to a girl, as long as your personality comes off as confident (not cocky, there is a difference) and you can make her laugh and have a good time with her. It is scary, but you need to just go up and talk to her because it will give you practice talking to girls and give you more confidence in the end.

Maybe this one will want nothing to do with you… that’s fine bro. Move on to the next broad that looks hot. Get to know them by talking to them. And that doesn’t mean talking to them about your phone and ROMs like a little freak… save that for when you are dating, lol. Talk to her about stupid **** like a teacher you have that is really annoying or something maybe you guys have the same teacher, who knows.. bam, something you have in common to simply engage conversation. Don’t talk about you, either talk about her or something you both have in common. Win.

Hahahaha typical xda troll. I would love to hear your advice or success stories my friend. When I'm on a nerd forum - dominated by males - giving a guy advice on how to pick up, or just TALK TO, a girl, I don't think the fact I said "chick" negates my advice or makes it any worse than 'write your number on a piece of paper and tell her she's pretty' or 'ask if she likes magic and pull a quarter out of her ear'... How about writing down "do you like me?" with a "yes" and "no" check box, then passing it up the bus till it reaches her?... Seriously.....

When it's just guy to guy advice on picking up a CHICK, who the hell cares what you refer to her as, as long as you're respectful in person.

Like I and the guy above me said, just be confident and posture yourself properly. Go out of your comfort zone and let her notice you. Once you talk the first time, you're somewhat of an acquaintance and its not weird for you to approach her next time you see her..

1. There's no way to prove anything in this thread. Just take the merit of my advice based on how easy it is to execute properly, and the fact that most of them are tailored to suit the average geeky guy's best asset: intelligence. I have given advice like these before, and I know of more than a few happy people on XDA because of it.

2. Even if you asked me for proof, and even if I have it, I will never reveal it. The moment you objectify anything, that's where you become a monster. Everyone I've been with is assured of complete and discrete privacy, be it a wingman or the lady I just went home with. And the entire Mafioso knows, I only refer to significant women with codenames.

3. That hair trick is usable, but you'll have to be careful. Last time I tried it, I kept a flat-ish flower I swiped from the table, and I just said that it was stuck on her hair. She smiled and tried to remain sarcastic with a "Really?" but I switched tack and just went honest; "Nah, I swiped this from the table 'coz I just wanted to feel how soft your hair is."

4. Don't EVER rehearse your lines. It'll come out stilted. This is not a stage production.

I don't regret this now as I'm happily married with a little boy on the way but at the time I made the mistake of bottling it with a girl I fancied for months.

I worked with her at a supermarket and went over the scenarios over and over and every time I would lose my nerve and just talk bollocks! Granted I could talk to her but about general less interesting stuff! I even consoled her after an argument with some girl but not to the point of a cuddle just reassured her by talking. Again my nerves got the better of me to act on my feelings. She left the company and I only saw her a couple of times.

It swung the other way too,another girl liked me and didn't say anything,I found out from a male colleague about her but for some stupid reason I bottled it again.

Morale of the story just go for it, I did with my wife at the time I thought bugger it I don't normally do this and asked her out-it was worth it.

I, of course, submit to all your virginal powers of no-getting-laid. I'm sure the Pantheon would be glad that you remain in the ranks of the Vestigial Virgins, but surely your parents must be disappointed in you.

But, of course, since you've been in your mother's womb, that would have surely meant that you're no longer a virgin?

Not that it is much of an achievement anyway.

Just make awkward hello for a few days. Then try to notice something that you two have in common like music or whatever then just strike up casual conversation. Talking is easiest when it's something you're interested in because your more comfortable and can just let it flow.

[Off-topic] hiu115:
when she got off the bus (she's in the same school right?) try to get close with her. or in subject-exchanging time, talk to her. Start with common talking (you know what i mean.) then proceed to a "more" intimate talking (not sex or a kiss, you pervert) like "do you have a boyfriend" or "have you ever liked someone". Don't just talk, do actions like treating her to lunch or be a caring person for her. Until she felt she likes you. Then you can say your fellings.

Remember that you cannot do this all within one day. Don't rush.

terrible advice throughout this thread.

a few people mentioned to just be confident and talk about things you are not interested in at all, but just things to start conversation. do both of those. girls don't give a rip about anything other than confidence (to a certain degree... you can't look like troll, sorry).

just go talk to her man, seriously. you need the practice, apparently. talking to her will give you that... regardless of the outcome.
[Off-topic] Maxamillion:
I've been watching this thread... and some of the advice is good. There is no step by step guide, u just gotta go with the flow. Just go with your instinct. Be confident. Whatever you do don't be cocky, most girls hate that. When you walk by her or she walks by you make eye contact, smile and say hi. Most likely she will smile back and say hi. What the guy before said about having friends introduce u to her is a good idea since you can't do it yourself. Trust me once you to talk to her you'll see its not as hard as you thought it would be. Just do it soon or you'll lose your chance. And you'll regret you didn't make a move earlier.
[Off-topic] hsingh1993:
if u dont get how to start a simple advice here, you can always ask for her notes and tell that i need as mine are incomplete and then while returning her notes put a flower in between the pages, on the next day she will definitely ask why did u put flower in my notes, unless she is very very very very shy as you. Then strike up the conversation and then u are friends, but u need to have courage for that.

Use the same method of approach to this girl as if she is just a buddy whom you don't know just yet. Have fun and just make it very casual.
