huh? I assume she is around your age, what if she is looking for more than just a platonic friendship? Or do you mean you want to be friends FIRST, which of course is the best way to go about these things Being nervous is normal and even if it shows, it's mighty cute

Supposing this all works out, what do I say? "Hi, we were in the same driver's ed class nearly 3 months ago, and I thought you were nice, so I came looking for you at work? Wanna hang out sometime?"
YES, exactly. Be straightforward and honest - girls like that I'd be very impressed if a guy came up with an honest story like that vs. some silly line.

Quote:
Is she gonna think I'm a stalker? Am I going to be giving her reason to think I am a stalker?
NO. Why would she think you are a stalker? A stalker is someone who won't let go even after he/she's been told that their attention is unwanted. She hasn't had that chance yet, so, no you are not coming off as a stalker and she most likely will be totally flattered and impressed.

Should I just forget the whole thing?
No.

Quote:
Or am I over-analyzing the situation as it is my usual tendency to do?
yes, but that is ok. Better to over-analyze than to be annoying and careless


Good luck with it!
