text: the girl next door is shy and turns away when she see's me.how do i start talkin to her?   laughter is the best way to a girl's heart. don't intimidate her anymore than you already have...lol. make convo of how the weather is...or ask about something that is in the area. approach her with a general aspect of something. crack a joke, compliment her style..... good luck!.....let me know how it goes.
