Finally found her on Facebook

I met this girl in one of the university music classes. Throughout the course, I developed a strong crush for her and wanted to get to know her more. The problem is, when I like someone, I get very shy around them. The first time I talked to her was when I saw an empty seat next to her; I asked politely if it was taken. She said no, and I sat down. We didn't talk much because our seats were so close to the instructor, but just sitting next to her was a good first step.

The next class I came a bit early, but realized she wasn't there, so I found somewhere to sit. She entered the room, glanced in my direction and sat next to me. During that class, we shared our music sheets. In fact, that day was when she presented her violin to the class. After her performance, I smiled at her and tried to strike up a small conversation by complimenting her violin skill.

From then on, we had small talk, but it was nothing deep. Then finally, it was the last day of class and I still didn't ask for her email. The last class was a bit special because we were allowed to leave once our musical piece was played. I didn't see her come to class until mid-way, but I had to leave to study for a final.

I have never seen her on campus since that day I walked out that door.

I was pretty sad because she was someone I really, really wanted to know better and I let that opportunity slip. I tried countless times to find her on Facebook, but her name never popped into the search.

Over a year passed by and I pretty much gave up. I didn't think I would meet her again, until now.

I was a bit bored and did a random search on her and she was there! All of a sudden, I felt hope. I read her profile and she said she quit Facebook, but left her cell phone number and email! I also realized she had one mutual friend who used to go to high school with me.

I was eager to message her, but stopped. I really don't know how to approach her after over a year or more. Does she still remember me?

Really need some advice from men and women.

Send message: "Hey, remember you from college, we had some great chats. I really regret not getting to know you a little bit better back then, and we lost touch after finals. Mind if I add you?"

Done.

Next problem :p

Seriously, don't over-think it. If you want to talk to her, then do it and be as honest as you can without creeping her out (stay away from "I tried forever to look you up and find your contact information" for instance ;))

Maybe she doesn't remember you, who cares? Get to know her all over again. What's the harm?

Worst she can do is ignore your messages :p

People take this stuff way too seriously, which leads to uptight anxiety (no offense). Just relax and be honest!

Exactly. I would do the same thing.

I gotta side with Ashes on this one.

I'm an introvert of the highest caliber. I second guess myself on forums for heaven's sake (I've rewritten this post several times already). I know what it's like to attempt to get to know a girl you have a crush on. You constantly wonder if she'll think you're strange, or if you shouldn't have said something you said, or if she wants you to go away. Then when something good happens, that you might take as a great step foreward under any other circumstances, you overthink it and see it as having been "all in your head." And thus is the life of an introvert.

However, it is important to realize that most of those fears are all in your head. This is most easily confirmed by the realization that she is a human being, and so are you--which gives you some insight into her personality on a basic level. So, providing you are a decent, fairly "regular" guy, ask yourself how you might react if you were in her shoes.

Honestly, if I were her, whether I remembered you or not, I might be flattered you remembered me. At the very least, I'd be glad someone was taking the time out of their day to contact me--because everyone enjoys a little attention every now and then.

Relax, and go for it. It'll be fun. :thumbsup:
