A. ok well do u know her like in real life, not on aim and stuff? cause if you do, ask ta hang out with her one time. You have to flirt with her. Do u no how ta do that? to me its just like automatic. tell her shes pretty and ask if she has a bf. ask about her life and tell her any guy would be lucky ta have someone like her. just act cute and flirt with her. try not to be perverted or imature like some guys can be. ask who she likes, if you wanna be more straightforward. tell her u like an amazing girl and list some stuff u love about her. trust me, if you rly like her, it will be easy to talk to her. and if she talks to u alot and tells u alot, im pretty sure she likes u! hope i helped =]
