well i can't be stuffed reading from start to end.
tell you waht... wait for tutes or better yet, if you can try and get to know one her friends who you don't have a crush on or whatever you have on that chick you have your eye on. it'll be easier after that.
I WAS in the same situation as you, i have known one of her friends now... but i think she's scared of knowing me coz me and her were having chronic eye contact games and i think we're both shy
but yeah.. haven't tlked to mine yet.. its about 2 years now! >.< hopefully ill do it this semester =\
don't know her through lectures, won't well at all... try tutes or something...
lol, best idea is to go put on the Joey charm and go "Hey! how you doing?!" hahaha, does work
and then go "what course do you do" then away you go
