So, there is a chick who I sit in front of sometimes when copying notes in class, since I need to move up in order to see. I've been meaning to talk to her for a while, but I never do. Not because I'm scared or anything like that I'm just not sure where to take a conversation once it is started.

How to strike up a conversation?

Dont do that.Girls dont like it. Try talking to her about something you know she likes.. or try being her partner in a project. Good way to get to know eachother!

start with "hi"trust me, it worksalso, a simple, sincere compliment is usually well received. Especially if it demonstrates that you pay attention or, as Steph points out, you have a common interest."I noticed you were wearing that shirt last week, it's really nice"or"oh, you're wearing a Claddagh ring. are you Irish?"or"you've changed your hair, that looks really good on you"I don't mean them to sound like pick-up lines. Rather just to give you an idea. People feel good when other people notice and approve of the little things. Though it may sound slightly superficial, it's still true.

A Cla-do-ho-da-what ring? How do you know this shit? I had to go look it up.This ancient tradition has unfortunately lost influence in contemporary society, so I felt the need to spread this knowledge to anyone that is pathetically bored enough to read my blog.The Claddagh ring dates back to eighteenth century Ireland, from the fishing village of Claddagh (pronounced clah-dah) in county Galway. Legend has it that a young man, Richard Joyce, was captured by pirates on his way to the slave plantations of the Caribbean, and during his years in exile perfected his metalworking skills, eventually designing the Claddagh ring. Upon his arrival back in Ireland, he presented the ring to the woman who had been waiting all those years for him to return, symbolizing their undying love for each other.The Claddagh is made up of three parts - the heart, hands, and crown. The heart stands for love, the hands for friendship, and the crown for loyalty. Worn on the right hand with the point of the heart facing out and the crown facing in means that your heart has yet to be won, i.e. you are single. Worn on the right hand with the heart facing in means that you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, and worn on the left hand facing in means that you are married.
