Shall I try?

There is a very hot girl at uni around the 9/10 mark. She is also very smart and works hard.
She is the sort of girl that wherever she goes all the guys hit on her and try to get with her. She is very desirable.
The only problem is she is in a long term relationship with some random looser nobody guy.
I have noticed she is attracted to me. Even if someone else is talking to her and I am just their, all her attention will shift on me and she will turn towards me. Also when walking past her she will look at me and her eyes will follow me around the room.
Shall I try and pursue her or give up due to the fact she has a bf?
How shall I go about it?
She has a taste for and appreciates expensive things so I could exploit that heavily.

If you have to ask us, the answer is yes. However if you have to ask us, you are toast.

Maybe you should try having a normal conversation with her first instead of constantly oogling/eye-fucking her from a distance.

 

so like the conversation you tried to start with me last night via PM with the subject title being "hey you 3"?

Is she looking at you because she's attracted to you or because you're sweating profusely, making furtive movements around her and carrying a voodoo doll of her boyfriend?

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.

So she's high maintenance and you're rich? That's why she's paying attention to you.

 

You mind as well start the long con and forget she has a boyfriend no matter how you came into that information, even if the words came out of her mouth. Which brings up the question, have you ever spoken to this girl? If not, that is a solid step one but dont come on strong, remember LONG CON. You want to be on the edge of the friend forest but never enter it. So to keep it simple 1. Introduce yourself casually 2. Chat it up when you see her 3. Score digits in a non threatening way (meet up to study or some shit) 4. Go out and party together and if possible make her jealous 4X 5. wait one week 6. late night text 7. ???

Rarely will any of my posts have enough forethought/structure to be taken seriously.
 

Who the fuck wants to be on the edge of the friend zone? I'd rather be balls deep in between her legs.

Obviously balls deep is the preferred location sans long distance boyfriend, depending on slut factor, may just be better off skipping to getting drunk and making moves.

Bitches who know they're attractive do this by nature. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them loving the attention. She gives you a sideways glance and you give her your googly eyes and hearts floating out of your ass. Small input, large return. I mean, you're already a puppydog and she hasn't even been on a dinner with you.

I did not give her "googly eyes" or anything like that. If someone turns towards you and eye fucks you, you tend to pick up on it. I was just looking around.

It happens to me whenever I wear tight pants. Until she puts her hand where it should be, it doesn't mean anything bro.

Why are there so many of these relationship advice threads- seriously this stuff has nothing to do with finance at all. To answer you- yes, why the fuck not. man up and talk to her. If she is willing to go out with you then you have an answer.

 

Go for it, if the attraction and attention is like you described then you should talk with her in private. If everything you said is true she'll end up with you.

 

The answer is so clear it's scary. You walk up to her when she's sitting at a desk, and you flop your flaccid dong right down on it. Do not break eye contact. She will look, and then look up at you, and at this point, you walk away. Works approximately 8% of the time. I also have a tattoo of Pope John Paul II's face on the tip of mine. Your percentages might be down without something like that.

 

drape your dong over your wrist, walk up to her and ask her to check your watch for the time. 60% of the time it works every time.

One other question, is she actually a 9/10 or a 9/10 for you? Big difference.
