How do i introduce myself to a girl who doesn't know me, but i live in the same dorm as her?

I just finished my freshman year of college. Over the course of the year I saw this girl in the library and around campus and I was like dang, that is the prettiest girl I have ever seen, I wish I knew her. I thought she was an upperclassman, but then I found out through a friend of mine who knows a friend of hers that she is my same age. Well this next semester I found out that I'll be living in the same dorm as her and I'd really like to get to know her and ask her out. I have seen her profile on facebook and it says she is single and everything so I'm just wondering where and how to start. I don't have any classes with her, so I need to know how to just go up to her and meet her without seeming like a creeper. I don't really have a father figure in my life to ask this to and I wouldn't even think of asking my mom, so i'm looking for advice from both males and females on the subject. Thanks everyone in advance.

i asked a similar question earlier and my answer was walk up to her and say hello smiling. then tell her you just couldnt resist not knowing her name because you think shes beautiful and take it from there.trust me, she will like the directness. just be yourself brother and you will be fine. promise. now go do it. good luck.
Reply:say hi and ask what her major is. bingo!
Reply:just say hi one day and say "I see you around a lot, are you stalking me?" but make it VERY clear it is just a joke and just ask for her name and stuff but that's it at first. Flirt with her whenever you see her after that, be funny and charming. After awhile, if she seems interested, ask her out on a date.
Reply:just start a casual talk with a hello, and introduce yourself as x... then let her know that u r there for a casual talk and nothing intentional...before starting know her mood.. bcos gals change mind in a sec wat may look a bright start may suddenly turn into a flop... let her talk more and u be a good listener...



all the best bye folks...........
Reply:i start random conversations with people all the time. If you are in the same dorm just bump into her one day and ask a random non threatening question. Like ..... do you like the dorm i am finding it..... or just something similar. Then once you have made first contact start more conversations when you meet find out what she is into and TAKE YOUR TIME dont rush things. Hope this helps.
