Message boards as dating advice outlets. Be confident and suave. If you spoke to her a few times and coolness was established then just go. Or you could sit around and listen to Half Japanese about it:

I'M NOT MYSELF AROUND GIRRLLLSSS LIKE THATTTTT

I know this dude who is good looking, funny, smart, and is rich. He's 22 and never had a fucking girlfriend in his life because he won't even TALK to one. If one talks to him, he just turns red and walks away. He is fucking retarded. Seriously. I've told that to him to his face a thousand times. He won't even follow any advice anyone gives him so why bother.

I've had the same girlfriend for 6 years now just because I tend to use common fucking sense on most things. It's not that difficult. Most guys are so fucking stupid when it comes to girls. I know plenty of dudes who are with girls who'd blow their brains out if they left them and all this shit. A girl is NOT GOD. Once people understand that, they'll stop worrying about trivialities of life. Besides, if you have to strain and force yourself to talk to a girl and can't think of anything to talk about, there's a good chance you guys aren't compatible. Move along.

i think your advice is useful.

for the record though, its not a matter of intimidation, its more along the lines of what is a good approach.

for instance, interrupting class to ask if she wants to get shit faced and play naked twister may not be a successful tactic.

but now that i think about it...i think that is exactly what i need to do.

Assigned seating? Does she sit with people? Can you approach her before/after class? Charm and interest. Charm and interest.

Or do the old "tell her friend that you like her and have her friend tell her and then have her friend get back to you about what she thinks of you" trick. That works too.

Or get a friend in the chemistry lab to whip you up an aerosol of Rohypnol.

its not assigned seating, but we were assigned into groups of 4 and unfortunately i was not assigned to her group. that would be much easier. anyway, everyone sits in the same seat they did from the first day, which happens to be next to their groups. i was going to ask her to do something tonight after class but she walked to her car with her group most likely discussing the upcoming presentation that we were prompted with in class tonight.

Since a cross is an instrument of torture and therefore probably not a good symbol for a whole religion, I think Christians should make their symbol a blowjob, cuz no one hates blowjobs.

i didnt even do that shit in middle school. plus i dont have friends in real life. i have forums for social interaction

haha, im just kidding guys, i have friends. some even listen to sonic youth, so you know they gotta be cool.

Sonic Youth does not a cool friend make. Although it does help a fuckton sometimes.

agreed. in fact, i think musical tastes are one of the most important factors in a relationship-platonic or otherwise- for me. If someone has horrible tastes in music, i have a really hard time getting past that. I've broken off relationships for that.

Oh okay. Well, some people have to do that, especially really shy people.

i know what you are saying. all too well actually. but there is definitely something about her that intrigues me, and I want to get to know her. She carries herself in a way that says to me "you want to get to know me."

i was discussing this appealing factor in the "how do you know..." thread, which is what prompted me to start this thread. This girl definitely has a "spark"

ONE. Cut a hole in a box.

TWO. Put your junk in that box.

THREE. Make her open the box.

And that's the way you do it!
