How should I approach this girl I really like?

[Draconis2_5]

So, here are the facts from what Iunderstand so far:
- You are very shy
- This girl is very popular
- This girl is beautiful
- You want to get to know her better
- Due to your shyness, you can't manage to work up the courage to say anything to her.
- Many people here have told you to stop dilly-dallying and talk to the girl already but you can't seem to do it.

My solution:
Take this non-relationship you have to the next level, acquaintenceship. If you can't manage to work up the courage to talk to the girl, why not see if you can work up the courage to maybe wave to her the next time your eyes meet? With a wave, you have managed to say hello without saying a single word.

This waving may have one of two things happen, either she will wave back and continue with what she is doing, or she may come over to talk. If she just waves back, it could mean one of two things. Either she is really busy or has something more important to focus on (remember your bus ride while being sick?). BUT, if she comes over to talk, then you need to have something to talk about. Small talk is always a great ice breaker. Since she is one grade behind you, ask her about her teachers. Maybe she has a class you have taken and you can then give her advice on how to get through it, or you can tell her that you can help her with her homework if she doesn't understand it. Try it and see what happens.

My advice:
- Don't lose hope. It could be that you two are perfect for each other. Don't sell yourself short simply because you see her as out of your league or better than you.
- Don't worry about what your crush's friends will say. They are just jealous that your attentions are not focussed on them. Women can be catty like that.
- Be flexible but keep trying. If the sparks are flying between the two of you, you need to investigate and keep investigating every angle. If you notice those sparks dying, accept it and move on. Life is too short for you to be spending it with someone you don't want to be with (or who doesn't want to be with you).

Good luck with moving forward.

Thanks for the advice! I'll try smiling and waving and see how that goes.

WOW, you're so lucky! Having your crush in your class makes it soo much easier for you to approach her! Just try asking her about homework if you've never talked to her before and see how that goes.
