Hello Mam, I like a girl who is a television news anchor and want to make friendship with her first. How can I approach her and get her attention?

Ans: Dear Ramtirath,

It is pretty simple. Start with a Hi and a small but attractive introduction about yourself. The tough part is to make the first move like sending the first message. If your vibes match, the rest will flow easily.

Here are some more tips-

• Compliment her but go easy. For instance, you can say, "I love your smile." But don't go ahead and tell her, "Your lips are beautiful." It can sound vulgar. The key is to balance it.
• Be yourself. Never pretend to impress someone.
• If you are approaching her IRL, make eye contact. It exudes confidence.

Most importantly, if she does not reciprocate or says no, move on. It is crucial to understand that a No does not mean you should convince her some more.

Best Wishes!

I understand your dilemma. It is indeed difficult to cope with sudden exposure to a coed environment and speaking to the opposite sex can feel daunting. But trust me, talking to women isn't all that different from talking to men. They are humans too. You can start with a simple hi, where are you from, where did you study before, etc. If she seems comfortable to be friends, you can slowly let her know you are interested in her. If she doesn't outrightly reject the idea, you can ask her out for a cup of coffee. It doesn't have to be a "date" date; it's just an outing, where two consenting adults sip coffee and discuss life. If you ask her out directly, you can also figure out whether she reciprocates your feelings,

Just a gentle reminder- if she doesn't show interest, please do not try to convince her. You will meet more women in the future who will be equally interested in you.

Best Wishes.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I need the whole picture to give you proper suggestions. But, in general, you can go up to her and ask her if she would be interested in going out with you. If she seems interested, then great. If not, you should not try to force her. Before you plan how to talk to her, it is important to understand if she is interested in you or shares the same feelings.

Best Wishes.

Ans: Dear Prinve,
If she hasn't shown any visible disinterest in you, you can be direct with her. Let her know that you like her and ask if she is interested in going out with you- that's the best way to approach someone you like. If she seems interested, then take it ahead. If not, do not try to convince.
I hope things work out for you.

Best Wishes.
