Dear Jasmine,
I like this girl in my Spanish class at school and I don’t know if she notices me. I talk to her a few times in class because we have group discussions and stuff but she never really says anything to me otherwise. I really want to hang out with her more and stuff but I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to just ask her out because she may just say no to me and I would get really sad.
My other friend said she would ask her for me but I am kind of scared of her doing that because she may think I am weird or something. I am not even sure if she has a boyfriend or not and I don’t really want to just ask her out of the blue. Do you think she would get scared if I asked her out?

Dear Hector,
I think if you just randomly go ask her out when she doesn’t know you that well, the chances are low that she would accept. I would recommend that you talk to her more in class, perhaps ask her questions about homework materials or see if you can get a group of your classmates to have a study session before a test. That way you would get to know her more and put in more of an effort to talk to her and get to know her.
Then down the line when you see her out of class you could just say hi to her and from there you could blossom a friendship with her and take it from there. I would say don’t rush into things right now and take it slow. Who knows, if you get to know her, you may not like her as much as you think. It could go both ways so be prepared.
Always here,
Jasmine
