I've been feeling really lonely since I started college and haven't really been making good friends but it seems like I have a lot in common with her and that we'd get along easily. Any suggestions on how I can befriend her? I don't want to look creepy and I'm not obsessed. I'm just really lonely and feel like I could use some new friends. Thank you! Reply to this Question

 It's very true that any kind of relationship or bonding happens over time. But, you could still initiate something... Malvern is correct, a common interest in a good way to initiate a conversation. A lot of bonding happens in groups of people. Maybe you have a mutual friend, and you guys could plan an outing and invite her along. Just an idea. For all you know, she's lonely and wants someone to reach out to her!

Do you have any real world contact with her or do you have to "ask her out" via Twitter?

 Just smile at her and be pleasant. Very often the best way to get to know people is to have a common bond ie: both play the same sport, enjoy the same hobby etc. because it gives you something to talk about. You can't really force a friendship, they just tend to grow over a length of time.
