I have a senior in uni, I think I'm into her, I want try to pursue her. She seems ok with talking to me and I have talked to her a few times since I first met her in orientation, but no more. This fish seems to be really damn big, I don't want the line to snap.

But then one problem is when it comes to making friends I am total gone case. I haven't actively tried making friends ever before in my life, I always wait until people talk to me. I eventually realized that I only talk to certain people that I know is because I am comfortable with them, that I am severely introverted. So I tried just choosing to be comfortable with people. Doing that I just talk to people like I already know them, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. So I want to learn how to make friend properly.

Another problem is that she's in year2 while I am year1. So not much chances to talk other than during events and when I see her around in school.

Yet another problem is my personality, I am not very talkative. Every time I pass by a place where she frequents, I often have to think of something to ask before entering the area so if I do see her I have something to say rather than just blanking out.

But so far my plan is to just keep talking to her until I eventually get close enough that she wouldn't reject me. But more and more this does not seem possible since there are so few events, and very often when I do see her around she's studying with her friend group, so many people I too shy to approach. Another thing is that I know some of her friends as well so I feel that if I see her with other people I know, I have to talk to all of them to not seem like an asshole.

So how do I catch fish?
