some solid advice guys, thank you. I like the whole take it slow approach. I will definitely try to smile at her next time I see her and even say hi. I wouldn't feel like too much of a creep doing that. Although I'm just wondering if she'd even be into me. This is moreso just a self-confidence issue, but I'm just wondering how different we might be. Like she seems like the hippie type. She has dreads, and seems to go to lots of music festivals, makes art that focuses around fractal images, (which more or less suggests she uses psychedelic drugs, but none the less is an amazing artist), likes the grateful dead and all that, you get the picture. Me? Well, I'm much more serious than free loving. Rather than laughing and hoola hooping and hacky sacking with other hippies in the sunshine, I'm probably walking by myself trying to get away from all the laughter and social activity, immersed in my own contemplative thoughts. That's the thing. I think I'm too introverted for a hippie girl to like me. I'm not the kind of guy who would go around saying namaste to everyone and walking around singing shirtless with a guitar around my body. I'm too shy for that stuff. I'd rather study or have intense political discussions than facepaint engage and have fun in the sun. Not putting it down by any means, just I'm quite introverted. I like the dead though, play in a band, have long hair? I dunno. I'm over thinking this too much... Personally I'm a really fun guy to talk to!
