There's this girl I really like and would love it if we can start out as friends. In my eyes, she's really pretty and attractive. However, the problem is I don't have any classes with her. I only know her because she was in one of my class back in middle school. She's always surrounded by friends so this makes it even more onerous to approach her.
I don't have her for any class, and she is always surrounded by friends. Is there any way to create a conversation between me and her without making it seems awkward? I want to approach her in a well-manner and natural way, however her friends are in the way...
PS: I'm a fairly decent looking guy. A little chubby, and weird. I also have problems with looking at people straight in their face...
Can someone provide me some good advice please?
