I'm in a weird situation. There's a girl in one of my classes who sits on the opposite side of the classroom. I'd love to approach her but everyone sits in the same seat, so it'd be too strange to randomly sit next to her. It's also hard to approach her before and after class because she comes in kind of late and sits next to the door, so she basically rushes out right after. I'm thinking about just sending a FB message, something along the lines of, "Hi, I'm in your so and so class, would you like to grab some coffee sometime?" In this day and age, do you believe this is non-threatening? Or is this very creepy? We haven't said a word to each other despite making eye contact a few times, so I feel like she might recognize me. However, I'd like to hear more opinions. Has anyone been through a similar situation? "Just go up and talk to her" is easier said than done, let's be honest. Any opinions?

Put forward like that, I'd not find it creepy at all.

I don't think it's creepy.

I'd see it as cowardly more than anything else mate as she's not exactly a million miles away and you didn't have the guts to ask in person..... If you see what I'm getting at?

Granted I'm a bloke but I'm sure a lot of women would look at it that way?

Man up! Stay outside till she comes and say, "Hi. Would you like to go for coffee later?" You will probably shock her, but you will be on her radar. She may not say yes. Give it a little time and ask again.

What's the worst that can happen?

She says:

A. I'm in a relationship, sorry.

B. No, I'm not interested.

C. Yes, that might be nice.

I don't see all this need for sterile electronic communication. Just be yourself. Be human, and know that if in the end, it ain't gonna happen - you at least made the first steps on the path to face to face communication.

Best wishes!

No,I wouldn't find it creepy, I'd be flattered. You really have little to lose by asking.

I agree with the others, though, if you could catch her in person and at least start a conversation, that would be nice.

Well she is an adult like you so it would not be creepy but a bit too quick on the approach, don't you think you should talk to her first? and introduce yourself to her? if you didn't even make eye contact with her than it can be creepy too if she never seen who you were, I think eye contact can tell a person a million things, since it's way of communicating to let someone know if they find them attractive or if they want to be approached or not, if she stares at you, when your looking at her she may be not interested in you since she isn't smiling or making and winking and expressions.
