How best to approach

Just be direct and go for it! No point just being there and nothing happening.

Is it too old school to drop a girl a note asking her if she s open to chatting? I only see her once a week and she keeps herself to herself but we have exchanged glances etc. She does have a close friend who i could approach but there both strangers really. Its difficult to build a rapport with her as i dont see her iften enough abd when i do its too busy and she seems like an introvert anyways.

being an introvert isnt a bad thing.. js shoot ur shot! this is so cheesy but its necessary rn : YOLO !!

Is approaching her friend a good option?

Just go over and say hello, its not that hard. People are facing so much more difficulties in their daily lives and you can't even muster up the confidence to say hello to someone, come on man what are you doing

Yes it sounds very easy but when your surrounded by around 30 people all minding their own business its a bit more difficult especially for introverted people. Things can become awkward very quickly

Well its either that or....you do nothing and nothing happens, so you decide.

yh i know but it just isnt happending for me an opportunity is not presenting itself as i only see her once a week so im stuck hence why im thinking of just sending a note or approaching her friend if it isnt working.

In your life whenever you've been presented with something that you wanted to do, but didn't know how, what did you do?
Ask for advice from a professional in that area? Read a "how to" book? Watch guidance videos? Plunge right ahead and try what you thought would work and then learn from that?

Why should you approaching someone you're attracted to be any different?
Use whatever learning methods have worked well for you in the past.

If you knew how to approach well, would that remove 90% of your hesitation in this area?

If someone is interested then even a hamfisted or awkward approach is going to get a positive response.

If someone is not interested then there is no magic technique that is going to sweep them off their feet and you have your answer, even if it's not the one you hoped for.

Rather than looking for a way to make it a romantic approach from the outset, (and unless I'm missing something, you've literally just exchanged glances with them), just make conversation.

Ive tried all of them to pick up tips but when it comes to applying it its a lot more difficult. Things are not going to fall into place but if i approach her at the wrong time or in the wrong way then ive blown my chance hency why its so difficult because i have approached woman before in similar cases in the wrong way or gone straight in for a convo and blown my chances.

What sort of success vs failure rate are we looking at for you? When it comes to you breaking the ice with women?

What pick up tricks are you referring to?
