Last year at university I didn't know anything about pickup, I was the worst AFC EVER.

I use to stare at cute girls from a distance, ocassionally getting caught out and probably being put in the creep zone.

There is this girl at my university. At the beginning of first year I noticed she's cute and seems like a really nice girl. I got A LOT of IOI's from her. Her starring at me from a distance, following me with her eyes as I walk past her. I remember one time I walked out of a lecture and walked past her(I pretended like I didn't notice her) and she literally turned her head and even body and watched me walk past her lol. She has done this a lot of times. She seems like quite a shy girl and unfortunately I am a shy guy(I was even more shy then).

I really fancied her and developed a bad case of one-itis. I kept on getting IOI's but everytime I tried to go approach her I pussied out. Literally the whole academic year went by and I never approached her. Ugghh I feel so ashamed. Towards the end of the year as I kept on trying to push myself to approach her by doing creepy things like staying within her vicinity to wait for a perfect opportunity to make my approach. I DEFINITELY got the vibe that we was trying hard to sum up the courage to approach me herself. Later on it semeed like she started to make an effort to not make eye contact with me and purposely making it look like she didn't notice me when I'm there. I took this as a sign that she's gotten fed up of waiting and labeled me as a creep with no balls(which I absolutely was).

LONG STORY SHORT, what approach can I take to get myself out of the creepzone with a girl? Should I freeze her out?

I'm completely over my one itis and don't really care about gaming this girl, I genuinly just want to get to know her and be friends. We have quite a few mutual friends and we seem to have some cultural stuff in common so I'd like to just make friends with her and get to know her without any intentions of picking her up. If she starts giving me IOI's again then what the hell why not game her. But I'm not even considering that, I genuinly just wanna be friends with her.

Advice for me guys?

My best advice: Man-up and talk to her

You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. The ABSOLUTE worse thing that will happen is she will reject your technique and you will keep moving on with your life. Someone told me this and it helped me: "there are people out there who risk their life to protect your freedom...and you're telling me your too scared to take advantage of that? They face the possibility of death but your too scared to face the possibility of rejection?"

freeze out? she doesn't even know you

go talk to her, for that matter, start facing your social anxiety, talk to more people in general, get over your fears, this is just a first step and it's a rather small one in comparison to what it takes to be good at meeting girls and sleeping with them, talk to this girl, and when you're done that, introduce yourself and talk to some more girls, if you have to start smaller, then do that, do what it takes, but do things that scare you, challenge yourself to improve

at some point you will have to get over
-approaching and talking to a girl
-showing interest in a girl (letting her know in your way, that you are attracted to her)
-kissing girls you like
-trying to have sex with them

so get to work on breaking down your fears, you have your whole life to do it, and if you don't do it, you will not change, and you will have alot of trouble with your dating life

if your the type to stare at girls from a distance and make them uncomfortable then they will put you into 1 of 2 categories, weirdo or pervert and guess what once your in one of either of these categories you aint ever getting out again!!

if you went over and were shy thats more forgivable as they will put some effort into talking to you as youve made effort by going over there, being the starer means you just make me uncomfortable and more likely the mindset will be your a psycho.

dont stare go over there
