Thanks for the advice, spooned, but she isn't in my grade so I know she doesn't have any of the same classes as me or the same books. Also, she would be like why doesn't this guy ask a friend or somebody in his class for a book? Why is he asking a complete stranger? Anyways, I have the same free period as her and I see her sometimes in the English/social studies learning center and I think I'm gonna initiate conversation with her. The problem is that at my school it isn't the norm to just randomly talk to somebody you don't know, so I'm gonna be cautious to make sure I don't come across as intrusive or threatening. When she's at a computer, I'm gonna go up to one next to hers and ask for help with how to do something on the computer. This sounds like garbage, I know, but it's the only thing that won't seem blatantly obvious that I'm trying to attract her. Then, I'm going to progress by telling her that a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go to the school play and that it doesn't seem like the type of thing that a heterosexual guy would enjoy (the girl I'm talking to happens to be in the play and she has no idea I know this). She'll be excited to talk about it and she could give me a sales pitch type of thing. Then, I'll just talk about what teachers she has and what classes she's taking next year and other bullshit. I'm gonna make sure I maintain eye contact, smile, and have plenty of swagger. BTW, she has given me some damn good eye contact in the hallways so I think she might be interested in me.

Fuck, delta4ce, that's some pretty impressive stuff. I wish I had the balls to do something like that, but that's way too difficult for me with such little experience. Hopefully in college, I'll be able to do shit like this and be straight-up fearless.

Welcome to the forum Introvert. BTW, you might want to think about changing your name to something more positive . . .

Oh.
I'm in Norman, Oklahoma. High School, thought I doubt anyone is out here.
