How to start friendship with s.o.?

I’m a 21 old guy at university and there is a really nice girl who I want to be friends with.

The point is, I don’t want a relationship know so only frindship.
She looks clever and nice, I look for friends who are interested in the classes we take and so many stupid people chatting there with no interests about the subjects.

How can I ask her for a friendship to not look like a date?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    First, why did you call her s.o? S.o means significant other. If you're not planning to date her why did you practically call her your girlfriend in the the title?

    Second, start the friendship like how you would with anyone. You being so nervous means you like her as more than a friendship. If you're not aiming to date her, is it just sex you're after?

      I tought s.o. is shorter in the title.

      Yes she is pretty but no plans yet about dating.
      I just want one more intelligent friend.

        It is shorter, but that's not the point. S.O. = Significant Other; which is an ambiguous title for girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband.

        Also, "no plans yet about dating." Key word is, "yet". Really dude, be honest with yourself. You like her. A guy using a friendship to get close to a girl they like isn't new, and sometimes it works and sometimes it fails. It's alright to try it, but understand she doesn't know what you're trying to do, so she may treat you as a real friend; there's also the possibility that she may not want to date you even though you've achieved best friend status.

        Basically, don't become obsessed. Good luck.

    Hi! In my opinion AND from seeing my husband screw UP (with some ugly lonely girl) you need to be direct from the beginning. I'm a female, by the way. Make conversation with her about class, something in particular so you don't end up having a short yes or no answer. "Did you grasp the theory of when the professor said_____?" She may answer fully, hopefully..... And this point you should not ask for her name just yet if you've haven't already done so. After she or you start a small non flirty chat, ask this "Hey I've been hoping to make a friend here in case I miss class you could let me know what we did, or if you missed, you know what I mean? Maybe we could share notes." Before you leave her presence you need to say "what was your name? I'm sorry I don't remember from class." This should lead her to realize OK he doesn't like me more than a friend because he would've asked for my name in the beginning or should've remembered it etc...You must start out small this way and build up to a friendship from there. Otherwise if you come on too flirty etc, she'll think you like her. Such as my husband did with some girl and later she got made when she saw him with me. At the time we weren't married, just boyfriend and girlfriend, and BOY was she embarrassed when she saw me. Poor girl realized she never had a chance with him 😂

    Do you want to fuck her? If not id probably send her a friend request on facebook or something and comment on some of her shit or tag her in something funny. Idk just hangout abunch and maybe be like "hey you wanna go to this game"

      I agree, he can't be flirtatious at all in the beginning though. The joking around part will come at a later time as their friendship grows. She'll learn I'm time that they're platonic 👍🏼

    Assuming you're not American, "Come for one at mine, MATE."
