hey wolverine, i know exactly how you feel. i use to have a crush on a girl in high school but never had the nerve to approach her and trust me, i regret it to this day. it may be too late for me, but you can still do it! when i played football, our games were pretty rowdy so i don't know if that's the best place to really have a convo with someone. stick to the basics, figure out if she's in any classes with you. if so, strike up a conversation about that subject and arrange for both of you to study together and to keep in contact about work. you'll be able to learn more about her and figure out what she looks for in a guy. once you feel she's comfortable with you, ask her to go see a movie or something along those lines. that's all i can say. hope it helps.
