Make sure you don't fall into the friendzone, and this happens by trying to be her "friend" first.

As a man, when you're chasing a woman you have to do it with intention and make sure that intention is clear. Anything less is unattractive as a partner.

ok thanks, so far i have done no.1 and 3 in this thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1111256, and might have done no.2. but the number of times i have done any of these can count on half a hand since i dont have much chance to talk to her. i think next time i should compliment her on looks or something, since she always dresses really trendily. if i do this is it enough? without straight up asking her out for a date, because i think right now she would reject since shes really busy with studies

Dei, how many compliments you think she gets in a day? If she's pretty & trendy, that's pretty much a normal tuesday for her.

Asking her out directly is the best way.

Yes, you may get rejected, and because of your inexperience the probability is very high. Though you'd be surprised how the awkwardness + courage is endearing to women. Either way, the chances of a direct approach is much higher than whatever it is you're doing now.

Though its much better if you go out and practice on other people first. Not saying you should date other people, but go out and randomly talk to strangers. Can even start with guys and then work your way up to women.
You need to build the self confidence so that its natural when you do actually ask someone you really like out.

3. when i asked when shes going clubbing, (since last year she wanted to invite some poeple including me to clubbing, but no one ever went because of miscommunication). maybe she misheard what i asked, since got loud music playing, but she said that clubbing is an activity you usually go with people you are close to, and trust, and would want to get closer with.(she said this in a more agitated way, but not angry. like she wants it to be made totally clear) but when i asked her again whether shes going this sem, she just said very busy, in a more bored tone. which is not wrong, she got a lot of school things going on
*
Dude, I can't help but feel this was a hint for you to invite her out?

Why are you asking her if she's going clubbing? Just take her la! doh.gif

a bit awkward la during the event since her friend was right next to her
but even if shes alone i dont think i would ask, since i know she almost definitely going to reject, then why bother asking? shouldnt i wait until i have higher chance of success then ask?
and for me la i feel that shes trying to say the exact opposite of what you interpreted. bcos i am not close to her at all, an acquaintance at most. so i think she saying, no, try make friends first then see.

Oh my young padawan... you are just making excuses to protect your ego from being hurt by rejection. Losing sight that the reward of success is ripe for the taking if you only had the courage to fail.

Terus terang tell you, we man are f`king stupid when it comes to this ok. I look back at the countless signals I got and totally ignored or convinced myself otherwise in the past; feel really bodoh, thankfully I learnt over time.

Simple fact is, you were once invited to go clubbing. So you're already vetted as "person who want to get closer with". You keep asking when she's going is you being really passive, so if she's interested in going with you... you're not giving her the opportunity to follow your lead.

Stop making excuses and be distracted by "other targets". You have someone who's really your target, then just go for it. Your best chances of success is if you're sincere and committed. If you fail, so be it. Its not the end of the world, but at least you gave your best. You will learn from the experience.

Continue down this path, and you'll always be full of indecision and self-doubt. Even if you succeed with other targets, it won't last or work out. Your confidence will not be built because you will chicken out again when it really matters.

Choose wisely.

Cibai u so pro then what would u have done in my shoes. Suddenly this girl u like look damn tired as shit, she don’t even say hi to u, and at this point this is all u know. Oh I know, I go buy pain medicine for her! She could just be stressed, or actually don’t want talk to u, etc. this time it’s not even guessing that she doesn’t want to deal with ppl, she’s been alone the whole day, and doesn’t say hi.
And, if you had gf before, or even cared to google, period cramps can last 3 days.
And, if you know 1 thing about women, is that the say no but mean yes. She say she ok dy when I text her, use ur big brain to think what that means
If you’re thinking, you could have talked to her that day instead of texting! I’ll tell you exactly how that would have went. I go up to her, ask r u ok? Then she pretend sleep. That’s it, end of interaction. She already pretend to look at the cat nearby when I walked past. What makes you think it would have gone any different?
Also if you’re thinking I could have bought the chocolate at the same day. I can win the lottery today also what, just have to buy the correct numbers. How to know the correct numbers? Tomorrow they will say.
Ok not giving her is my fault la. I didn’t see her at all that day, should have texted to see.

Dude, he's definitely more pro than you. Your ego is hurt now by what he said because, deep down you know IT IS TRUE. That's why your response here is so damn defensive. Don't go lecturing him on knowing women when you haven't even held hands with one doh.gif

If I saw a FRIEND (regardless male/female), sitting alone and uncomfortable. I would approach them to see how they are doing and see if there is anything I can do AT THAT MOMENT to alleviate their suffering. Even if it just means sitting there by their side saying/doing nothing... just to show solidaty/support that they are not alone. That is what someone who truly cares would do. All you've really shown is that you put your fragile ego above her well-being. Don't even start talking about being a potential partner, right now you are failing even as a friend.

i think youre correct, but i also dont really get your logic. i have considered asking her whether shes ok, but then i saw that she clearly wants to be left alone. isnt it best to do that? if my guy friends, that arent that close, signal to me to leave them alone, i would definitely just leave them alone.

The problem with you is the bolded part.

You overthink, and make assumptions.

Do you KNOW she wanted to be left alone? You don't. You assumed. Which is convenient, because it means you have an excuse for your cowardice.

If you sat with her and she actually told you to leave, then that is a different story.

QUOTE
these are my expectations la, for me if i dont want to talk to ppl, then ppl keep wanting to talk to me, i would be even more angry. if i was just sitting alone, feeling unhappy, then suddenly someone i barely talk to come up, sit in front, i will find them annoying, and in the future i will actually avoid this person to avoid their prying.

^ once again, all your assumptions in your head. Nothing based in reality.

QUOTE
but i think i get the point la, im going to ask her whether shes free for lunch the next week, excuse being that i want some senior career advice. or something else is better?
*

FFS, you still haven't gotten the point. doh.gif

Ask her out.

That's it. No excuses. No pre-text.

Just a simple intent of "Hey I like you, and want to show you a good time".

Grow a f`king pair of balls and take ownership of your interest and passion.

Ok done I just finished dinner with her y’all happy?

YAY! Finally!

QUOTE
but mostly talked about academic stuff. got talk about what she want to do after graduation. At first we talked about couples in our grade. Then she asked me whether I had anyone I liked. I told her, ppl in my year, not really. Crucial thing is ppl not in my year.

For your level, this is ok la.

QUOTE
But now I know I am ok dy, she is a friend. But I think I should have been a bit more gentlemanly and helped her with her tray after finish. But still ok

Eh eh eh... stop this overthinking.

With most people, doing some reflection/post-mortem is a good thing. Not for you though.. you need to practice being in the moment more.

QUOTE
Now to break out of friendzone. How?
*

Told you many times already... approach with intent and make it clear.

Men are friendzoned because they have no balls to approach and hope the girl will reciprocate their actions. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

You know what gives you a higher chance of success? Being rejected and moving on. Sounds illogical, but that's the truth of the matter.

EDIT: Saw this, and pretty much shows what your future is going to be like if you continue on your "take it slow" path

i considering just dm her tomorrow if i dont see, what r the main problems with that? why exactly is asking face to face better
*
wait.. wait... wait.. wait..

that's all we're hearing from you from day one.

wait for this
wait for that

you need to take action. This is not a relationship advice, but a general advice in life. You want to wait for the all planets to align before you make a move ah? You don't take action, nothing happens.

the highest form of freedom is being unbiased or unattached towards anything, I'm actually ashamed by the fact I claimed being beta is completely wrong in the past, but this is just the route of life that's unavoidable

eh asked her out again, same place same time. this time she very busy and tired, so not that good at gossiping. one problem is that last time i mentioned i like this girl we both know a bit, and i told her the only reason why i dont go for this girl is because a friend interested already. but this time i told her, the guy give up, then she ask me why i dont go for her? could be telling me to f off, or could just be bewildered at why im interested in her instead of the other girl. i didnt know what to reply, i just say dowan la.
or is she actually giving me a opening to tell her that i like her? idk maybe next time she brings it up i hint a bit lor.

but ok since this time she a bit more tired, less acting, can see what she actually thinks, and what she interested in. i take notes, think about it a bit,  ltr will text her about the things she talked about but i didnt give a very good answer to. good thing is i figured out what she likes to talk about. so if conversation ever gets awkward again i just ask her something related to it then problem solved

as to confidence and making myself attracting fish la, i think im ok? this time i just walked up to her, grabbed her attention and asked whether she free. i got exercise regularly, i have been told that i am funny, lots of good jokes. the only thing i think im missing is that i am so concerned about being funny that i am bad at serious conversations, which is the only thing she does

as to making intentions clear, i think its best if i take it slowly but not too slowly because she mentioned that she got relationship issues in the past, and hearing from friend gossiping she really sensitive to it. so better ease it in la ltr accidentally hit a landmine. but to make use of this, i will try to empathize with her, and validate feelings, etc since she actually is really sensitive, no experience type. in this forum would be called a strawberry lor.

turned out to be the latter lol. she say dont see me that way, dont waste my time, she still getting over her ex. so i spent the next 5 hrs chatting lor, bunch of random stuff, a bit about her ex, abit about my views, etc. observing body language i can tell she has small amount of interest so i guess ill continue like this la, since no other girl i like
*
Bro, she shut you down already. She has no interest. In the history of this entire thread, all your evaluations of her body language has been wrong.

Walk away, and find a new target otherwise you'd be stuck in friendzone.
