How to approach this specific girl.?

Ok, so I have been crushing on this girl on and off (mostly on) for about a year now. She's a very intellectual and seems like a really down to earth girl, so I don't want to approach her with a cheesy line and ruin my possibilities. Her name is Laura and she is a very witty girl and whenever I try to talk to her I just feel like I'm trying too hard and just ruin it.



All I want is a better way to approach her or some cool topics (not cheesy) to start a conversation with her and then we can get it going from there.



If you need anymore details, just post your question.



No obvious or general answer please. And I would prefer this to be girls only, but you can still post if you're a guy and think you have a good opinion.How to approach this specific girl.?
Hi Laura, I'm Lou. If she is interested, she'll make it easy for you from there.How to approach this specific girl.?
dont be afraid. if you just be yourself she will like it and you will have a good chance. i usually ask ';whats up'; or something like that. try to start a convo about school or sports or something. then if that works you can maybe step it up a little. just go with the flow and dont get nervous, act like she is one of your best buds untill u get to know her better. hope i helped
If she is really intellectual then start your conversion by asking her some question regarding subjects. Ask her questions out of de book and make her realize that ur a well read guy.



Plus wen you approach her think that ur talking with a friend dont fancy anything. If u do u may ruin it. So feel as if ur asking a doubt to a friend
i only read the first paragraph, but just approach her like you want to start out as friends but your looking for something more. be sure not to use something like ';girl i wanna grad dem' cheeks! and i'm NOT talking about the one's on yo face'; hah(:



just be yourself.
LOL..... dude u gotta use your environment to ask questions... for example if u r in class with her talk about that. If u r friends with the same people talk about hanging out... noone can really tell you what shes going to like cause females are confused about everything under the sun....DONT APPROACH HER AS FRIENDS OR JUSS 4get it.....
HERES some i find to work...



';Hey hows it going'; then she tells you and it goes from there

or

';how was your weekend'; ';what did you do over the weekend';

If she responds with anything like ';i was bored'; then say well maybe we can get together sometime and go to dinner or a movie...BUT be friendly about it...if you talk a little sometimes you get alot of feedback use that to your advantage..remember YOU talk minimal...she talks alot thats what you want to happen..no long stories about your week or about you...you listen..take in her stuff and use it!!!!
an answer from a guy:



Be brave, walk up to her when there's few or no people around and say ';I am really embarrassed about this but I feel we could be great together but I am a little afraid that in my excitement I'll say something that will ruin my chances with you. What'll you say to helping a guy get to know you much better?';



I think she'll

-feel great that you are a thoughtful person

-feel great that she can take the lead

-feel less defensive than if you had come up to her more boldly and said something stupid.



I feel that being direct and honest is the best policy. It takes guts to do.
