Talking to my neighbors and im shy?

Question

My new neightbors that live a couple houses down just moved in a couple months ago and they have a daughter that is my age and i was to be friends with her. (im 17 and female). My dad has already met them but i havent yet. should i just walk over and knock on their door and whoever answers i can say that i live a couple houses down and want to meet their daughter? and if she isnt home give them my phone number. is that weird or is it okay to do cuz i have no other idea and i really really want to be friends with her cuz i have never had a friend so close to my house that i could walk over. any suggestions?

In this situation, I think it's best if you maybe bring something over. I never go to someone's house empty handed. Maybe you should make some cookies or a cake and introduce yourself, welcoming them to the neighbourhood. If the daughter isn't there, you can tell the parents you would love to meet her, tell them which house you live in and that your father had met them just earlier (- maybe apologise for not greeting them sooner).
Being friendly and polite is all you need in a situation like this.
Bottom line - bring something when you go over to their house, don't give them your phone number yet (maybe she's not into phones, plus you haven't even met her yet. Perhaps giving them your landline/home phone would be best), and just be yourself! 
Hope it goes well!

You should knock on the door and say all that "Hi I want to introduce myself" to whoever is there and get to know whoever is at the door. Eventually when they say they have a daughter your age, then ask to meet her too. In short don't be unfriendly to the parents
