    Speak in EXTREME Dutch!

    Y'know, because you're Dutch.

    IK BEN EEN HOND!!

    Apart from that, I've no idea.

    I know, sorta.

    Important: be nice. Obviously, you don't want to say mean things around or to the person you like. Also important: shy girls are not necessarily nice girls, so the previous bit may not apply. It's also important to look and act hygienic around her. All of this is because first impressions are important.

    Now, to business. Just start slow, and be sociable. Talk about her, and at least act interested. You can never predict which way this will go, so be prepared for both rejection and acceptance. If you're smart, you'll go for neither and just be friendly. As for subject matter, make sure to listen and ask questions about anything she brings up. Who knows? Maybe you'll find it interesting.

    I hope these few pointers helped. :smile:

    Make sure to be attentive at all times, if she really is that shy then get the conversation to go the way you want it to, talk about something that you found funny recently, then ask a question, do not lose focus on what her answer is!

    Try and get her to talk about herself a lot. Take her on a walk. Shy people tend to like going for walks. Or at least I do...

    Thanks. It's just hard for me to come up with this conversation-stuff, which makes it hard for me to adress her. Pretty lame... Especially since she's in my class and we see each other every day.
    But once we have something to talk about we get along very well.

    Btw, I just want to be friends with her. We've known each other for a while and really like each other, but we haven't really done anything together yet.
    This weekend I'm going to watch a movie at her place, and I'm kind of nervous of it :s
    But my biggest fear is meeting her at school now, and not knowing anything to say.

    EXTREME Dutch. Why didn't I think of that? :p

    Don't be afraid. I used to be the same way and I still am sort of, and here at college I live in the same building as girls I like. Just talk to her as if you've been doing it for awhile and also as though it were natural for you. Also don't be nervous about going to watch a movie at her house. If you just want to be friends then it's just a movie, no need to be nervous. Now if anything happens, then just let it happen, that's the most precious and wonderful thing is when something good that you didn't expect happens. Just be open and happy to be with her.

    Well, you could always bring up ponies . . . Just kidding. Probably want to wait on that.

    Seriously, I suppose you could start off talking about class. As you may have noticed about discussions, they tend to go off on strange tangents all by themselves. Or, if that don't work, ask her about her hobbies. That's always a good starter.

    But, then again, I'm pretty bad at starting conversations, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me.
