Is it better to go up to a girl for the first time when she's alone? or with her friends?

Question

Will going up to a girl for the first time in fornt of her friends be better or worse?

Will her judgment of me change? or will it look better?

or what if I went up to her in front of her friends then asked to talk to her privatley or something?

I'm a sophomore in highschool, and there's a freshman girl I saw who I want to get to know. How should I approach her for the first time?
I don't have any classes with her, and i only see her in between some classes.

Sicne it's just between a few classes, I can't really go up to her because she's with all her friends and we don't get much time to switch classes.

I wanna go up to her, but I can almost never find her during any of the breaks or in the morning or after school.

Answer 1

Talk to her in private

Answer 2

I'd talk to her when she's alone. Mainly because she will probably act different around her friends than if yall were alone.

Asking for a private talk isn't the best way either. She can always so no and then you are forced to talk infront of her friends. That makes you look like an idiot.

Just be truthful and straight with her. And be smooth. Try not to show you're nervous.

Answer 3

I'd talk to her alone. Depends on the two of you.
Usually I'd recommend getting to know a girl better before just asking her out, flirt a little first to see what you're getting into.

Answer 4

Well, it will certainly look like u care about her more if you have the guts to do it infront of her friends. But, if she's shy and blushes easily, maybe you should catch her at a time when she is alone. It also depends how popular she is. If she's really popular, and you ask her infront of all her friends and she says yes, that earns points for you.

Answer 5

Just wait until shes alone. When you approach girls that are in a group it is always more awkward than if you caught her alone.... I think the worst sitch is asking if you can speak to her privately... that should only be used in the most dire circumstances. Just catch her alone or with only like one other person there... no groups....

Answer 6

I take it you're not a Maxim reader. If you were, you would know that unless you're Brad Pitt, you should NEVER approach a group of girls by yourself. They'll make a bunch of inside jokes to each other about YOU!!

Wait' til she's alone. THEN lay the charm on her;)

Answer 7

You can do either or. But do what's comfortable for you becuase think about it if you aproach her in fornt of her friends but you get nevrous and don't know what to say then its a bad impression. If you're calm and relaxed with her by herself its a good impression and she knows you all about her.

Answer 8

How awkward dating can be! I am glad I don't deal with that anymore, but, if you can catch her alone walking in the halls I think you would feel more comfortable. How about calling her on the phone. You never know - she may be wishing you would ask

Answer 9

I don't know, I guess it depends on the girl. I would really appreciate a guy if he approached me while I was with my friends. That tells me he's confident and ballsy, and that's sexy. My friends would think so too. Girls aren't as harsh as men believe when in a pack!

Answer 10

In school, I would try to reach her alone. If she's not interested, then it saves embarassment for you. And, she may feel more comfortable if her friends aren't around.

If it is in a bar, then you pretty much have no choice but to approach with friends around.

Answer 11

wait to approach her when she is alone.
the time will come when you know its just right.
and be yourself. just relax, and things will flow out naturally. its a lot better than getting all worked up, or rehearsing what you are going to say. trust me.
good luck.
