I really like this girl who I've known in my math class since September of last year. We don't talk to each other too much, but there's something I feel for her that is stronger than any attraction I've felt before. As a freshman new to my school, I haven't really made a lot of friends, and my social awkwardness makes things even harder. This affects how I am around this girl; I always feel embarrassed to be caught looking at her. I want to tell her I like her, but she's always with her best friend out of math class, and I can never sum up enough courage, plus she's a sophomore, which makes it harder. To top it all off, my confidence has been ruined by three girls in the past two years. How do I talk to this girl without screwing up a fourth time?

Approach her. Be polite and direct. Don't push it if she looks uncomfortable. We're not gonna -blam!-ing eat you Sphinx-style if we don't like your jokes. All it really takes is decency and a tiny bit of confidence.
