Search Results: he flirts with one of my best friends

there's a girl i would see around school last year. I wanted to talk to her, but i had no balls and didn't actually know how to talk to a girl i liked back then

So all that i would do is look at her in the hallways and stuff. she caught on cause she started reversing it, being the one who would stare at me and all that

I asked her out one day. It came out of nowhere, and I was awkward about it. We had never even talked before. She told me she has a boyfriend (i found out later this was a lie) and thats how we left off.

The weird thing was, after I asked her, I would see her staring at me all the time. I guess i think maybe she panicked or was shy and just fell back to the boyfriend excuse. Tbh, i was weird about it and came on way too strong.

Fast forward to this year
I moved on and liked someone else for a while, but it isn't going to work out with her. I think enough time has passed to give it another shot with this girl.

Weve talked once or twice in a group setting this year, and everything has been normal between us. Every now and then I still see her sneaking a look at me or something.

Im a good looking, popular senior guy.
she's a beautiful, popular sophmore girl.

I was going to just approach her one day, make some joke about how she probably thought i was crazy, tell her she's beautiful and I want to "start over" and get to know her. Hopefully get her number or Snapchat

I was also recently friendzoned by a friend of hers (even tho she liked me first) so i was thinking of asking her about this girl i want to talk to

So is it worth a shot to approach her again and how should i go about it? My only problems are not knowing how to approach her (as in what to say, how to act, and how strongly to flirt with her) and the situation with her friend (I dont want her thinking im only using her to get the friend jealous) Im talking to other girls too but i want to do this because i have nothing to lose. I just dont know how to give myself the best possible shot.
