So here's the deal. The first half of this year I had a PE class and in it was this girl who seemed to show some interest in me. She said hi to me a lot, complimented me a few times, and attempted to start some conversations with me that I may have sometimes accidentally shot down. One time she even asked me to have a short race, which I declined (a choice which I soon regretted). We are not friends or anything, I don't even know her name yet (although I was probably told and just forgot) but she knows mine.

Half way through the school year that class ended, and now we have no classes together. Last Friday we walked past each other in the hall and she took a break in her conversation with her friend just to say hi to me. I could be wrong, but to me it seems pretty clear that she has some interest in me. I am willing to give anyone a chance if they are OK with my rather obvious weirdness.

The problem is that summer break will start in under a month and next year I plan to be in college. If I want to make any move then it has to be soon because I don't have much time left. I can't count on another random encounter, so I will have to find her during lunch or something and approach her. I need some way to let her know that I'm interested in her too.

Here is my plan so far. I will look for her during lunch and if I find her then I will go up and say hi to which I expect to hear hi in return form her. I will say something like "I don't think I ever got your name" and when she responds I will improvise from there (which might as well be "I will make a fool out of myself from that point onward"). The hope is that she will notice that I took the initiative to start a conversation with her and ask her about herself a bit. I hope that my bad social skills aren't too much of a problem, but then again this is a girl who appears to be showing interest in a guy who would rather pace in circles then play sports and who rarely talks to anyone so I doubt it would be too shocking to her.

Does anyone have any advice? I think I may need it.

Are you interested in her just because you realized that she showed some interest sign to you?

Because if you were genuinely interested the first thing would be is asking her first name.

I strongly oppose the idea of sex before marriage, so it's not going to happen and it's not my intention.

I am not one to judge based only on looks, and since I don't know a lot about her I can't really judge right now if we would be a good match. I might as well talk to her and get to know what she's like.

How does saying Bonne chance has anything to do with sex?
