I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

As I said, it's hard to work up the courage and to be alone with her :/
Also I'm 14 ;_;
who said you need to be alone? any place in public is fine. You might need to practice it a bit with yourself in front of the mirror though. And i dont think courage is needed for this situation, its all about eliminating anxiety, which means you have to control what youre thinking when your saying all this, its best not to think about it at all when saying it. Remember your doing this for yourself, to get rid of those thoughts and feelings you have about this girl you dont even know (im assuming a bit here) it doesnt matter what her answer is.

We could organize a Benelux-area Bay12 meet sometime ;)

We probably could. I guess the Benelux area is relatively well-represented here.

There's no way I can take the bus to the same stop she uses, and it'd be a different bus anyway. I live on the other side of town from the station I think she uses, so that's not really possible.

And by "alone" i just mean a situation where she's not talking to somebody else...

hmm? then simply ask for a bit of her time and a ear to listen to you, ask her to meet you somewhere later if shes in the company of others. Im assuming you are already acquainted, if not then introduce yourself first.

"Hey Maria, could I talk to you for a minute?"

If she's with girls, USUALLY the other girls will know well enough to leave you alone.

In that case go with Vector's advice. I somehow assumed you couldn't really talk to her at all.

Hm. Can you find an excuse to use the same bus she uses?

If you don't want to do something rushed, you could also use infiltration tactics. You could try to become friendly with someone in her circle of friends, that could lead to a situation where you encounter her casually and - at first - talk to her with other people present. That should be a bit less frightening for the both of you than approaching her out of nowhere.



Listen... I'm socially awkward too, the most socially awkward person I know, and from one awkward bro to the next: just say, "hey, how's it goin?" and see what happens. do it, do it-DO IT!!!-do it. m'kay?

EDIT:

Yes, vector's advice. It is sound.
