Reader Question:
I go to a community college and there is a girl I like that goes there as well. The problem is she’s always walking. She’s never sitting at a table so I can just sit with her and talk.
The only way I can talk to her is just wait for her class to end and walk with her as she walks by the lounge.
What can I do to make a move on her without her thinking I’m a creep?

Dr. Wendy Walsh’s Answer:
Dear Shane,
Particles in motion attract other particles in motion.
Obviously if you are standing at her classroom door every time she exits, you will be taken for a creeper. But if you happen to run into her at random intervals, then get in stride and start talking.
After you’ve developed a rapport, ask her to meet for coffee sometime.
On the other hand, if you are having trouble developing a rapport because you find her walking faster when you appear, then you have an answer my dear. Find another target – maybe one who is not moving.
