Making an impression

I’m in my early twenties and there is this guy in my philosophy class. He would normally sit opposite of me in the class room and lately he has been sitting in the seats near me. There’s something about him that stands out from the rest of the guys I liked, something about his voice, or the way he speaks his mind. Thing is timing is never right and I have this week to see him and I don’t know how to make a first impression. And I don’t even know his name. What shall I do?

Why not introduce yourself or ask a question about a past lecture?

Forget your pencilcase and ask for a pencil. You probably know the basics. Smile, thank him and maybe even touch your hair a bit or whatever you prefer to do to get your charm across.

When you give the pencil back you have a chance to ask him “I don’t even know your name… I’m Steph”. If the mood is to continue the conversation after that you’ll know best yourself. Even if he didn’t notice you in particular till that point, eye contact with a smiling girl will make him aware.

You could always.. during lecture or something ask him if he could lend you his notes? Say, I didn’t get the last part did you happen to get it? Or make a comment about the class.. Like “That was so confusing, did you get any of it?”. Not to say you should play “dumb” but just the little things.. and have it build up from there.

Agreed mnm. Being a little bit devious goes a long way when it comes to introductions. When you’re having a conversation with him make sure you give him food for thought. Ideally he’ll want to jump at you, but restrain himself.
