All right I just moved to this new state from a place I new all my life. I start this new school not knowing anybody an I walk into my french class and I see this girl she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, now where I come from you have to act like a gangster just to be able to talk to a beautiful girl, anyway she's a nice girl and I don't know how I should ask her out I've had every opportunity but every time I get the chance I chicken out . Does anyone know what I should do.

You need to make sure isn't seeing any one.

Then you just need to ask her.
Maybe just say hey would you like to eat lunch with me.
You need to keep it simple.

First off, make sure to be yourself. It doesn't matter what the "in" thing to do is.

If you're afraid to ask her out just yet, try asking her for help with french, set up a time to study together. If you would rather just shoot straight to spending time with her, ask her if she'd like to hang out sometime together, as friends. (In your own way, of course.) See where that leads.

The worst she could say is no. If she does, don't let rejection stop you from interacting with other girls, asking them out, etc.

In a new place get the lay of the land first. Find out whose who and what's what. Talk to her as a classmate and find out about her as you make new friends. What's the hurray?

1. Forget the "friend" advice. Big no no! Read through all the relationship threads here if you don't believe me but take my word for it... you need to stake your claim from the get-go. Don't pussyfoot around. You want to take her out... you don't want to tutor her or just be her friend... so don't even start down that road (its a black hole and you may never get out!)

2. Dude, you are new to the school?? YOU SO HAVE THE UPPERHAND! There are no pretenses about who you are... you can be the you that you always wanted to be. You're new... you're unknown... you're mysterious... take advantage of all that.

Confidence is always key... don't be scared... don't be nervous... be confident... cool, calm, collected.

I always LOVED being the new guy around.

**One more thing... there is no magic pick-up line so I hope that's not what you are looking for. You need to empower yourself and just BE yourself. And JUST DO IT! Life is too short to let opportunities pass you by.
