    So, how to you get to know people you are interrested? There is a guy I've been interresed for a while now, but I simply can't get an opportunity to talk to him. It's not like I'm too scared, I'm afraid of scarying him! I do not want to screw this up. So, I just wanted to know, how you guys do it? It would be nice seeing it from another angle too: how you like people to approuch you?

    I don't typically approach people, but of those I've approached, it's usually because I had something they needed, and I was willing to share it with them. By "something" I mostly mean "Knowledge" which is the only currency I deal with at the moment. Basically if they happened to need some help and I could provide it (and also felt like it) then I might initiate the conversation by saying that I can help. Or perhaps they were just discussing about something, and I happened to know of an information that they weren't aware of, then I might just throw that information in. Sometimes they'd let me in afterwards, other times things we'd each go our way.

    As far as how I like people to approach me. For one, not in a noisy way and not too touchy. Feels like they're invading my space and I hate that. They shouldn't approach me when I'm concentrated either, I tend to be pretty rude in that state. Beyond that, I don't really have a preference on "how" I like to be approached. Most who've approached me just casually came near me, asked if they could sit next to me or just started up a conversation/ask a question.
