I’ve been in my new school for a couple months and it’s about to end, but I don’t have as many friends as I would like to have. There’s a girl in another class that I’ve wanted to befriend since the beginning of school, but I’m too scared to approach her. After school ends, I don’t know if she’ll go to the same school as me. FOUR people have told me to talk to her because they could see us being friends, but I’m too scared😢. Monday was her birthday and I missed the chance to wish her a happy birthday and start a conversation. I wanted to try talking to her on Tuesday, but I got scared and ran home because, I felt like she would think I’m weird for just walking up to her and starting a conversation. I’m always thinking someone is judging me. I seriously need help making friends, A lot of people have said that she’s nice, but I still don’t know how to approach her because she’s one of those popular and extroverted girls. I need advice on:
1. How to approach her naturally
2. What to start a conversation about
3. How to keep her interested in me, and later, wanting to become friends
