Talking to girls on my course during lectures

Yes. To be brutally honest, the majority of girls would think you were a) desperate b) a player or c) plain weird. I mean, I suppose it would depend how you went about it though. If you're thinking of just sitting next to them and going "hi my names xyz" or something, that'd be somewhat awkward as well as weird. Why don't you just make more of an effort to socialise (admittedly this is easier said than done) outside of lectures in a far more "relaxed" setting, like a party or something, instead of just going home straight after lectures?

Are you a girl?

I do need to socialise more, but I don't have anyone to socialise with and my only point of contact with other students is in lectures.

I'm not trying to be a player or get their numbers but just want to know them, so I can at least say hello when walking past and not blank them like a moron. Or get help with studies, I study a difficult degree.

I don't want to sound like a stuck up guy but I am fairly attractive so maybe that'll reduce the creep factor?

Yes, I am. So are you essentially saying you have no friends? Are you socially awkward (that sounds harsh on here but I'm just asking)? And getting them to help you with something may be a good way to get the conversation going.

Oh dear, another person who is impersonating Raj from The Big Bang Theory.

Maybe try joining some of the clubs/activities/societies set up within your uni. I don't actually attend uni yet but apparently they provide for these kind of things and I'm sure they can be good for finding new friends either guy or girl.

I have a few on the course but they're all male. I used to be very shy and still am a but I wouldn't say I am awkward, I can hold a conversation when talking. I mean doing it at the start of the year makes it a bit ok right? You seem narrow minded in the sense you wouldn't like to be approached by a guy? If someone approached me for a chat I would accept them with open hands.



Lol, sshhh.



I want to get to know people on my course, so for example if I need help with studies we can work together, my guy friends aren't exactly as serious as I am about the degree. The girls seem more on it.

Well, as long as you're normal about it, I don't see what is wrong with simply talking to girls on your course before or after lectures. Don't necessarily only talk about the work, otherwise they'll probably think you're a bore and may avoid you in future.

If they signal they don't want to talk to you at all that is fine, I'm sure plenty there will be others happy to talk.

Seminars is your go-to for socialising if you have any or alternatively talk to some of the people outside the lecture theatre before you go in. Just about the reading for the week, upcoming assessment etc
Don't just introduce yourself.

Otherwise, don't underestimate befriending charismatic or good-looking guys who might have more female friends, that they will happily introduce you to.

I am a guy who just goes to uni and comes home after the lecture, I don't have many friends and out of them none are female. I've never had a girlfriend either but this isn't strictly the point of this thread.

I want to start talking to girls in general, I am going to start my second year in September so will start afresh then. But how can I talk to them? I'm thinking of just getting to a lecture early and just introducing myself and sitting next to them (them, so not just one individual girl but rather a small group), would you girls be creeped out by this?

Please do give me tips guys and girls.
