Say "You rike-a da pi pi goo?"

Remember, if she says her name is "Sum Ting Wong", there's nothing wrong with you. That might actually be her name.

ah crap forgot most of my Mandarin since I didnt meet with my Asia gf since last januar. too many European chicks on my plate. at least we still email a lot and she still loves me and wants to do naughty things together. I would like that actually since she's rather slim. but before I get sidetracked!
You walk up to her table and say. "Hey there. I have seen you around here, and find myself curious what you study." then chat up and hopefully she will give you info that will allow you to make conversation. But then again, Im an excellent conversationist with lots of confidence so this might sound easy. hopefully she will be warm and not beweirded. if she open and warm then conv will flow naturally.
gey, maybe not the greatest advice but at least now you know Ive an Asian gf as well. just imprint a code word in your mind that means "no step backwards" then when you meet her, say the code in your mind and approach, whatever may follow. even if you fail, you will at least have the code installed to overcome anxiety in the future.
