How Do I Talk To A Shy Exchange Student??

Question

I'm a freshman in college and there is a girl from Australia in one of my classes. I've only been able to talk to her once, and she was very nice and I even walked her back to her dorm and she said "See you in class" with a smile. That's been about a week ago, and she will smile back at me in class, but I haven't been able to talk to her since. She is really hard to catch after class, and she always seems to be in a hurry. I just want to be friendly is all. She seems to keep to herself mostly, but I'd really like to talk to her. I would like to ask her to dinner, or to show her around town more, but she seems distant. I don't want to stalk her, or come off as a creep, but I like her, and I'd like to get to know her better, and be her friend. How can I approach her without being too intrusive? What is a good way to break the ice?

So usually in general, when you try to approach someone you generally have no interests with but physically are interested in, it isn't an easy thing to do. I just say that because the person will always be a little curious as to why you're approaching them and why you care to get to know them if there wasn't something of "mutual" interests between you two. I suppose if you knew anything about her interests, that is usually a great conversation starter. Lets say she wore a band t-shirt or had something that pertained of a personal interest you could be able to say, "Hey, you like ___?" Whether you like them too or not, great way to get to talking about it to warm her up to talking more to you. I mean, honestly, diving into asking her to go on a date is a little too soon. She might not be interested in you like that, and chances are, you might not either. You need to actually get to know each other through conversation and allow it to be natural. You can always just suggest since she is new, if she ever needs help with homework, making new friends, finding cool places to go check out, you could swap information and she could reach you if ever she needs to. I also just randomly suggest not spamming her with messages if you do get her number because it might ultimately look really bad on you. Best of luck.
