writes: This is not really a romantic question, but it is bothering me. I have recently started college, and have been having a hard time adjusting socially. I am shy and have trouble speaking to people, especially for the first time. Recently I have noticed a girl rather frequently. We are not in any classes together, but both fence and were both at a series of MATLAB lectures. This would not be a big deal, but yesterday I overheard (purely by accident) her say that she loves theoretical math and computer science. These are some of my interests as well. I would really like to talk to her, but have difficulty simply coming up to her and asking "Do you like math?"What would be a polite, non-awkward way to approach her?

Starbucks) to grab a _______(ex. food or drink), wanna join me?" If not thats okay, but she may say, "maybe some other time" and this is your chance to exchange e-mails or phone numbers, either way this will give you at least a beginning

Good luck, and to be honest if an interesting guy came up to me and said, "i hear you're interested in Euripides sicilian influenced plays, so am i.." id be very happy!
