So the thing is...a lady moved in recently and I would like to know the best way to approach her.

Mind you, I'm not going to date her or have her in the other room... Additionally, I hate the idea of being a simp.

I just want to get a friend dasol. We greeted today and she gave a smile, I'm guessing that's not bad after all.

Gurus in the house please advise

walk up to her and slap her.Dont go and read your books mtchewe

Haha, it's quite sad that you're quick to judge people.

This tells me that you're a student...Not to worry, the lockdown placed on schools will be lifted soon.

And for the record, just incase anyone wants to say similar nonsense...I've been privileged to Graduate from the varsity

If you are all that you typed and still create this topic, then you definitely didn't allow school to pass through you,you only pass through school

If you're not interested in anything romantic, just respect yourself and don't push for a friendship. If you guys would be friends, it would happen naturally. Trying to orchestrate a friendship will look like "toasting" no matter how you present it, unless you go and say something stupeed like"Can I be your friend?". Then she would think you are a simp and walk all over you.

Let things happen naturally. Beware though. Some ladies take advantage of friendships and turn guys into handymen and ATM's.

Respect yourself and respect her privacy, and you will be fine.

How does what you've said now make any sense?

What does it mean for school to pass thru an individual...In your own words, explain it to me.

Cos, in my honest opinion it's good to ask questions especially when one needs help or is that not part of learning?

It's you that is the MUMU! I didn't ask you specifically so don't insult people.

If you're in pains, don't try to spread it around...that's even worse than COVID-19

Thank you so much, I'll definitely keep this in mind.

One thing that struck me is to 'let things happen naturally' I really appreciate your response.

Just curious. Why don’t you want anything romantic with her? She no fine?

Well, I'm trying to develop my people skills and establish vital connections.

If you want to be friend with her then simply keep showing friendly gestures at all times. She will gladly throw you into a friendzone quickly.
Being in friendzone is the easiest thing in the world. Even learners are legendary at this. Seek more advice from them.

lend her your ATM card and valuables to keep for you

Thanks for your good mood and response.

So many Nairalanders are ill-mannered. If u go on Quora or Reddit or other foreign forums, you'll notice the level of maturity displayed by members. Here, on Nairaland, everyone wants to be a savage just because of cheap attention or likes and shares.

To the OP, allow things to happen naturally as someone stated earlier. But to me, whenever I move to a new hood or I have a new co tenant, I watch before I leap. I don't just start being friendly. I try to c if it's worth it by their character/attitude. Also, I'm good with words... Crack lotta jokes easily and before u know it we are friends.

Thank you so much...I appreciate.

Hey, I never said I wasn't useful to myself...I just wanna make a friend.

I see you need to be useful as people like you are too quick to arrive at useless conclusions like this.

Really, just friends.
Look neat n don't always compliment her. Ask her for a favour like to keep your 4k with her, that you don't trust yourself yu woud spend it in the night on pepper soup. That you will buy her airtime of #500 just for her help.

Collect her number like that. See the gurl the next day collect yur money, send her card. Thank you. The End. Waht d'yu want to use the money for sef?? - she asked. Its classified - you replied.

Not stingy with money n being mysterious in a simple way - works all the time. Careful tho, there is no point goin' broke trying to look rich baby.
