text: a girl is staring at you. how do you approach her? i am so clueless on this one. given that people are so fickle, what is the best way to handle approaching a person like that without screwing it up? smile at her - it may be she is shy - if she has been staring at you and she smiles back, even a half smile, but looks away, it probably is because she's shy, but she's more than likely interested - go for it - talk to her - try to catch her when she's not right by her friends, like going to the restroom or something - she probably will talk to you a lot easier then
