Search Results: no chance of us getting together

Hi me and my ex were together for about 3 years we lived together and had dogs things wernt so great as i wasn't happy and i wansnt that nice to her towards the end as I didn't think I was happy and had a lot of problems in my life anyway we had another big row and i brisk up with her leaving the house after a few weeks. We had some time apart both of us seemed reluctant to get back together not really trying to sket things but still keeping in contact a bit both saying to the other we love each other and miss each other. 2 months had passed we had met a few times and she did want me back, I turned it down both times as one time was to get back together but not to live together again which i didn't agree with so weeks more go on not much contact, in this time somtimes I wasn't too nice to her and she said she didn't no if she wanted to be with me but see her future with me and loved me. Anyway I realised I loved this girl more than anything in the world and tried getting her back and she siad was too late! She always said fight for her so I did but she wouldn't have none of it then I said im moving on ( I was lying to get a reaction) and she said it's breaking her heart and she loves me then Blocked my number and facebook she has already done. I sent her nice messges and sorry for nd things i had done she want perfect but I was far from anyway I sent her flowers to her work she emailed me as I was blocked thanks you lots of kisses not much of a relpy she said she would meet me, then days later nothing I leave it longer nothing so I pop round her house to get somthing I had still there and to see her and she wouldn't even open the door I don't want to talk to you! We was meant to be meeting. Iv changed my mind. Did she have soemone in the house? Has she moved on I don't no? So being an idiot i accuse her and send horrible messges as I can't control my anger and emotions, I send a sorry email but now she won't even talk to me or relpy what can I do i want her bk so Ba

I've been in school with this girl since kindergarten. Her name is Rachel. But i barely know her. This year, i don't have ANY classes with her. But i discovered that i have a MAJOR crush on her a while ago. But anyways, i feel as if i should get to knoe her better before i make a move. But now, after not having any classes with her, i may have found an opening. I recently became part of a new circle of friends that is a combination of a few of my guy friends and a few girls. My friend Gavin linked with his GF, Hailey's, friend group. So now it consists of me, my best friend Kenny, Gavin and Hailey, her best friend Macy, Rachel, and a few other people. I've started to get more comfortable around Hailey and Macy, but whenever i hang out with them all, Rachel is really quiet. I've never had a direct conversation with Rachel, only group conversations in which she was involved. She also will intentionally avoid eye contact with me. Why? I have no idea. I thought maybe its because she is embarrassed to look at me... but that might just be wishful thinking :/
Anyways (sorry for ranting), i have to options:

Option 1: I try to remain friendly with Rachel, and get to know her better by hanging out with the friend group more often, and hopefully working my way up to getting her number and having one-on-one conversations. The only risk with this is that she may think that i have no interest in her, and that i only see her as a friend, and completely dissmiss the idea of us being together and ruin my chances.
Option 2: I can be an obvious flirt, by staring at her and maybe smiling, and complimenting her, and making it obvious that i like her. The only risk with this is that it may seem as if I'm coming on too strong, because again, i don't know her that well. She might think I'm a creep for flirting since we barely know eachother. Also, it may be hard for me to work up the courage to do these things.

So girls, which do you think i should do? Which would get me better chances with her?
