How do I approach my university classmate?

Melinara

I'm new at uni and there's a guy I like. He's from a different country and he talks only to male people from there. I don't think that's a snobbish attitude cause I'm pretty sure he's shy to talk to the rest of us (the rest of his compatriots do this as well).

These days I've tried sitting close to him, but didn't find the courage to introduce myself and start a conversation. There are so many people and I'm afraid he won't give me enough attention. He might also feel that the fact I'm trying to approach him is quite strange. I asked my friends' help and said they'll be next to me when I talk to him, but we still can't find any really good excuse to grab his attention... They recommended that I drop a pen on his back, but that's kinda cringe!!! 🤣🤧😃

How do I approach him in a natural way? Any ideas?
