Hi, I'm 16/m I just started at a new school. There is a girl in my Hist. Class that is insanely gorgeous. Like, you don't even know. Crazy gorgeous. Anyway, I don't really know her yet. I'd like to get to know her though. How can I break the ice? And don't tell me to just go up to her and tell her I like her. I know girls like confidence, but you have to at least know them A LITTLE before you start telling them that. So... help?

If she's pretty, people most likely know her, so ask any friends you've made about her. Find out if she has a man, or a crush. Observe her, and not like a stalker, just her reactions to certain things, facial expressions and body language towards certain people. Make sure to catch her eye, and when you do, SMILE [just make sure not to get caught staring dead at her TOo much, cause that can be creepy]. Also, try sitting next to her, or somewhere around her. The closer you are, the more likely you are to exchange words. Another option is to write her a little note simply reading "I think you're insanely gorgeous", which is true. Girls respond to compliments. Good luck. [ DJzmAgUy426's advice column | Ask DJzmAgUy426 A Question ]
From there:
It really varies from girl to girl. Everybody has different preferences and turn ons and turn offs.
Some girls like athletes, some girls like boys in drama. Some girls like funny, outgoing and social guys, some like quiet shy bookworm guys.
Personally? I'd go for the theater guy over the basketball player, and the bookworm over the socialite. But that's just me ;]
Personality wise, here are my top 5:
1. A good sense of humor.
- A good sense of humor is always beneficial. And not a stupid "that's what she said!" sense of humor, somebody who can genuinely make an original joke. Making a girl laugh is one of the best things you can do in an effort to "win her heart".
2. Intelligence.
-Being smart is good, too. Us girls don't want to talk to somebody who can't count higher than 10, or who doesn't understand what's happening in the world. You don't have to be a total know it all, just smart enough to hold a decent conversation.
3. Nice guys.
- Nice guys DON'T finish last. If you compliment a girl, chances are she won't forget it any time soon. However, if you're mean to a girl, she'll remember for A LOT longer.
4. A good appearance.
- I'm not going to lie and don't think I'm shallow, but looks are all you have to go on for the first few minutes of knowing somebody. So if you're shirts half untucked, your shoes are untied, and your hair is unbrushed and a mess, chances are girls won't be into it.
5. Showing interest/having similar interests.
- I cannot tell you how attractive it is when I'm talking to a guy and he asks my favorite band, and the replies with, "I love The Rocket Summer, too!" Ask questions, and tell her when you like something she likes. If you have a lot in common, your relationship will go a lot farther than if you have nothing in common.
Those, however, are just the things I like but like I said, it's different for different girls. But a good sense of humor and giving a girl compliments are DEFINETE ins.
Bottom line:
Just be yourself. If you want this girl to like you, don't be somebody you're not or act a certain way to TRY to impress her. Just let it happen naturally. Start talking to her, and get to know her. Then, start flirting a little and ask her to hang out sometime. Let things go from there. Good luck =]
justina23 answered Friday August 29 2008, 5:44 pm: Aw :) well, I'm a girl and if a boy liked me i would want to know. But you're right, you would want to know her first to not make it awkward haha. You can have a reason to ask her something like, what's the homework? Or even ask her to hang out! Go for it ;) [ justina23's advice column | Ask justina23 A Question ]
HeartedASHollow answered Friday August 29 2008, 3:06 am: Okay one, never just go up to a girl you don't know and confess how you feel. It gets awkward because she thinks you've been stalking her and it will be just...odd...and to avoid the silence I would do the following to build up to that point where it would be normal ^.^
Ask her for help with homework or ask questions you can ask anyone that has to do with your class like "Do you remember when the test is? or when the homework is due?" it will be more natural.
Maybe when you start talking to her in a casual manner such as working together in a group for class but bringing up things you like. Don't be disgusting. Only a few girls love talking about zombies.
And then when it comes off like that you build trust as well. So she would also know that in the future if one of you needed help, it would be normal to work on it together and it wouldn't be so sudden and out of the ordinary.
That is very rare when finding someone you're interested in. To be able to know that you can spend time together but help each other become more successful in a not-as-high area.
rae141307 answered Friday August 29 2008, 1:28 am: well you just started going to a new school that this girls has prob been going to for a longer time than you so she knows her way around.for exapmle she knows friends,teachers (good and bad) and school events that go on at the school.so you can always ask about sports,home coming,what teachers are good and with ones are bad,and what people do for fun.try and get involved in school events that she or her friends are in to spend extra time with her outside of your hist.class.and def ask about home coming bc most girls love it,there's dancing, football games with hot guys and friends,you might even have sprit week during home coming like many schools have.home coming also gives you a reason to hang out with her bc your new and don't really know anyone except her kinda.good luck and don't worry you'll do great [ rae141307's advice column | Ask rae141307 A Question ]
