how's it going ?   I'm in a good mood today , actually . How about you ?   to be honest , I'm a bit fed up .   what's wrong ?   there's a girl in my company that I really like but I always get shy when she is around .   I see ! Do you want to ask her out ?   sure , but how ?   you can ask her out for drink after work .   but for what reasons ? She doesn't even know who I am .   then you've got a lot of homework to do . You need to get her notice first .   easier said than done .   you can start by meeting her at the bus stop and saying hello to her .
