Not sure if asking guys that hang out on the computer for relationship advice is the best idea but anyway pretty much what viris and war said, just be nice and befriend her then go from there
he probably wants to know how to befriend her.
well it's kinda hard becuz you are shy, so if you have classes with her, try to befriend her, but don't act like you're trying, or she'll know. just be funny, but don't try to flirt or make jokes. just honestly want to be friends. from there, it will take a while probably, but you can get places with that kind of a friendship.
