Try saying something like, “Hey, can I have your number so we can chat about math class?” Alternatively, you could simply say, “Hey, what’s your phone number?” if she seems friendly.

Friending people from school is pretty common, so if you’re nervous about asking her for her number, this is a great way around that problem! Some people use different last names on social media, so make sure you found the right profile before sending the friend request.

For example, “Are you free on Tuesday or Wednesday evening?” She may ask “Why?” or respond, “Yes. ” Follow up with, “Why don’t we hang out for a bit? I have some free time. ”[2] X Research source If she says yes to hanging out, suggest a time and place. Be prepared for her to suggest a time that works for her, and try to be available when she is. If you aren’t, suggest an alternative to keep the date alive!

For example, ask her, “How about we meet later this week for this play in the park?” Or, “How about we meet later this week for some coffee?” Try different ideas, but stuck with things you’re comfortable with. Don’t suggest rock climbing if it’s something you’ve never done before!

For example, say, “Any chance you’d want to come on an adventure with me on Thursday?" A more humorous approach would be, “Let’s get to know each other better over some caffeine and figure out how much we complement each other in person. ”

For instance, “On Saturday, I’m going to the ball game. Why don’t you join me?”

For example, offer her a piece of gum that’s wrapped in a note with your question written on it. Alternatively, you might try slipping the note into one of her notebooks so she sees it when she gets to class.

Write a note on a blank page that says, “There are 40 more pages in this journal. The first 19 pages were our memories from my perspective. I’d like the remaining to be memories from our perspective. Be mine?” If you don’t know her very well, this may come across as a bit creepy, so make sure she’d like this ask!

Only do this if you know that she won’t be put off by you sneaking into her phone.

Introduce yourself to the girl you like if she doesn’t know your name. Try walking up to her and saying, “Hey. my name is Sam. What’s your name?” One way to do this is to ask her how her classes are going and what her favorite class is. Let her talk about her favorite subject and listen rather than interrupt her. Don’t pretend to share the same interests with her just to make her interested in you, because she’ll figure it out and you may lose her trust.

Open a conversation with, “How was the test in English?” or “How’s your day going?” Don’t say, “You look good. Can I get your number?” This isn’t a conversation opener.

Remember, sexual harassment is not a compliment. Avoid saying anything about sex if you haven’t gotten her consent to talk about it with her. If you know that she likes to make art, tell her, “You’re very creative. I’d like to see more of your work. ” If you’re in the same class, and she made an insightful comment, tell her, “You’re really perceptive. ” It will make her feel good about herself!

The more you share your interests, the more you’ll find out you have in common!

For example, if you’ve been listening to this girl, you might remember that she likes a certain movie franchise, so maybe you can get two tickets to see the next installment. It doesn’t matter whether you like it or not. The point is that you’re demonstrating you’ve been listening to her.

Try not to jump straight into the question. Instead, add her about her day, make small talk, then ask her out. You might ask her if she’s doing anything this weekend, and then say something like “I’d like to get to know you better, and I was wondering if you’d like to get some coffee with me this weekend?” Another example would be, “That new movie that you’ve been wanting to see is playing. Would you like to go see it with me?”

This is a great opportunity to learn more about each other.
