How to approach a girl in the library who’s with her friend?

Im currently in the library and I'm sitting a few tables away from this really cute girl. We’ve looked at each other a few times but I have no idea if she’s into me. She’s also sat with her friend. How can I approach her and possibly ask for her number without being creepy? I’ve never done this before and im pretty socially awkward but this girl is the definition of ‘my type’. I’ve never seen her before and may not see her again (this is my final year at uni). Any suggestions?

Maybe try smiling at her, and see how she responds?

Does the library have a copy of The Joy of Sex that you could carry past where they are sitting?

I’ve tried that, it’s difficult to judge the reaction. We’re only glimpsing at eachother every few minutes so it’s not enough to really gauge her reaction

It says "you may fascinate a woman by giving here a piece of cheese."

This is why you should always carry some emergency Babybel

If she likes you, chances are she'll smile back (even if it's a coy, shy type smile) . If she was into you, she would look at you for a split second longer than natural (it's very subtle, but you'd notice it).

If it's very short but frequent glimpses, it's normally a sign that she's suspicious of your attention (e.g. "Why is this guy looking at me?"). Bear in mind, most people go to libraries to read, study etc... they're not really in the mindset to get hit on.

Having said that, it's possible to get distracted lol.

Ask what sort of books do they enjoy the most? Are they keeping warm inside because today's weather is constant wind and rain? :elmo:

It looks like she’s studying with a friend. I don’t want to interrupt her but I was thinking of approaching when she’s having a break and when I’m about to leave?

Good plan. Make sure you’ve thought of something to say, so you aren't just awkwardly standing in front of her

Yeah me too. I'm sort of dying inside trying to think of suggestions cos they all sound bad. Hopefully someone wiser and less awkward than me might have some ideas
