    Just introduce yourself and be calm about it. Whatever you do, do not try and attempt to chat them up with one of those "I bet your second name is Jacobs - because you're a real cracker" type of chat up lines. It is guaranteed to fail 99.9% of times. You'll look and feel like a complete fool.

    Oh and definitely, definitely don't buy one of those books that gives you tips on how to become "a player". It's all bullshít.

    Remember, if you can make a girl laugh then you're pretty much on the home stretch.

    I'd suggest a compliment and a question for the first bit, just to get a conversation going. Say you see a name of a band she likes on her tee-shirt or something, say "Oh I see you like XYZ, I like your taste in music, what other bands do you listen to?" Stuff like that.

    And most importantly, just be yourself.:)

    No worries, best of luck with it!
    TGC- is The Gentleman's Club, where you posted this thread originally.
    I've moved your thread to Personal Issues, its a better suited forum for your topic.

    Im totally in love with your post OP its too cute, oh to be 15 again lol

    Girls these days are a different bred to when I was that age, they are much more sure of themselves and gobby...however I think the same principle applies as BE YOURSELF, firstly though are these girls in your school if so talk chat to them about certain teachers, if they do after school activities, or go to the community centre, I take it you box so chat about that, what are they doing for the summer, have your done your junior if so have they? ask how they got on, music, films the list is endless

    However dont and I say that again dont try talk to a big group of girls try get one on their own or in two's three's less intimidating and more chance they wont try be too cool with their mates around

    Best of luck with it OP once your have one conversation the rest with be childs play, honest it will

    Enjoy your summer and peace and love op x

    PM her on Boards :pac:... But seriously, as mentioned before, getting her laughing is one of the big things and stay away from chat-up lines... I've never used one as they make me get a little bit sick in my mouth when I think of them. Be comfortable in your own skin, this kind of relaxed confident appearance is attractive, makes people feel at ease in your presence like chatting away to you is the most natural thing in the world :) Don't go overboard with generic compliments, while it's nice to be nice she's heard it all before most likely from guys that had nothing else to say to her! I'm certainly no Casanova, but I have to mix with strangers and members of the public in my work a fair bit and it really is just another form of flirting :p

    Be yourself and not the sweet version of yourself you might be around relatives. Be the you you are around friends, the you you are when you're comfortable with someone. Ask questions and listen. Listen well and you'll notice if you share interests, you'll find topics you can let her talk away on (it's easier that way ;) ) and you'll find stuff you can tease her on (this is by far the most fun aspect, do not ignore it! ). Don't give her any more leeway than you would your friends though. I'm not saying become an A-hole just don't be a doormat either (it's easy for us guys to do that, I've been there!) deep down it's not appreciated.

    Don't be completely discouraged about reading up on self help in this area either if it's something you think can help. Yes some of it is "player" crap but a lot of it can focus more on confidence building and such and we look to improve in every other area of our life when this is probably the most important one in terms of real happiness.

    Ok you're 15 and probably been distracted by something else by now but if you're still here, short answer: Look to have fun; And if in the pursuit of said fun she seems to add to it and you still feel that you like her, for the love of the universe, tell her. The worst case scenario is not finding out someone else doesn't feel the same way as you, it's missing out on many other opportunities while you're too busy carrying a torch around. Like a million times worse!
