Small social problem

entropi

I don't care about posting under my boards name and i'm sorry if this post seems long, but need to get it off my chest:

So i'm 27 and been out of the dating game for many many years due to a crippling shyness and social anxiety i'm overcoming a long time later than i'd have liked due to being a massive nerd, anyway i'd like maybe some advice on where i should go from here about a girl i am really into, although there's a 7 year gap between us (soon to be 6)

Recently started texting a girl from college got her number from a friend in my class (i'd have asked her myself but this is where my problem comes into play) the problem is that i hardly ever get to see her even in college, maybe for 45 mins a week as we are in two different sports related courses with staggered timetables and only during our water safety classes in the pool do we meet.

Have met up for social nights as part of a group, but a nightclub ain't the place to get to know someone, and we both have case studies and exams due in the next few weeks so are busy, and she works weekends Although i have had a v small chat with her one day after a group trip to the waterpark in blanchardstown (which was great to be with her then) and she knows how i feel about her, i can't let her know what i'm really like and we do share some interests/ways of thinking i know but this sucks right now.

Anyways could anyone suggest ways we meet up, or even go out to know each other ? as i'm useless at that aspect myself and only post here as i would really hate to miss this chance with a great girl.

Ask her for coffee. It's the college way. You can chat to her about the class then about different things and ask her out if you want.

So you want her to fall in love with someone who she thinks you are!

Guarenteed by keeping this up, you will fall on your face and end up alone.

Just be you, Girls prefer it than the Cocky Asshole or whatever you want her to think!

She may just fall for who you really are!

Well just to add in some info then, i met up with the girl in question last night, had a good time and have future plans to see her again soon enough so here's to keeping it up.

Oh and nojunkmaill, i aint a cocky asshole or anything like it, i meant that i couldn't actually let her know what i'm like as the words wouldn't come out, that is now sorted.

That's great, best of luck
