Hey, everyone. I would like another go with this one girl because the amount of mistakes I made in my first impression , the follow up and overall - were immense, to say the least (shaking more than in an earthquake, afterwards asking millions of questions through DM's and asking her out out of nowhere in the first night when she doesn't even know my name or who I really am). Looking back at it, it's hard for me not to "cringe" at myself for the shit that I did. I'm definitely no expert right now, but I'm at least 5 times better than I was. This interaction happened about 6 months ago, I'd say.

Obviously I know it's hard as shit to change someone's first impression, but I generally feel like she kind of liked me before I fucked everything up, so now I'm thinking if there is anything that DOES actually help to fix the first impression?

It's important to note that the setting is school, about 1k people go to my school, but the people 1 grade up or 1 grade down together are about ~200 maximum. She is 1 grade lower than me, and I usually see her, Idk, about 1-2 times a day passing by or something like that. She is always with her one friend or friends, and almost never alone.

If I knew the knowledge that I did back then, I'd just go and introduce myself, show a good first impressions, wouldn't get too emotionally attached if I did get rejected and then played it cool, but now, obviously the damage has been done, and I'm wondering if it's possible to fix this?

Thanks.

And I swear if anyone here says something about "she isn't worth it cause she rejected you, move on", that isn't valuable advice, when especially I'm not blaming her, I'm blaming ME cause I'd probably turn myself down back then too based on my moves :D
