one more question regarding seeking approval of others
i am becoming more confident, but is it okay to go up to a girl and ask "can i walk with you?" or should it be more direct "i am going to walk with you." ? i have trouble figuring out which key words to take advantage of, should i take "can i...?" out of my vocabulary? both show confidence but show different confidence idk which is more attractive. any thoughts on these topics would be much appreciated. -Rye

Since you know her name, maybe turn this into an ESP opener?

You (walking slightly ahead): Today is your lucky day.
HB : Why is that?
You : I'm gonna walk with you...
Should go right into an opinion opener so it doesn't seem like you are really a complete arrongant ass. ("I'm gonna walk with you and get your feelings on this problem my buddy is having." Closing your cell phone just before you say anything is a nice touch. Looks like you just finished reading a text.)
Name opener is always risky. If she doesn't remember your name don't stumble, just neg her about it "Oh man you must feel terrible you don't remember my name...damn that's rude." Wait until she asks for it before you give it. If she doesn't ask she's probably not interested.

Maybe you could try to work her name into the conversation, if she remembers yours: great! If she doesn´t but remember you, neg her. If she doesn´t even remember you it´d probably suck. Anyway, be sure you´ve made a good enough impression. If she asks for it again: make her work for it. She forgot your name once, why should you give it to her again?
