How can I get comfortable around her and get to talk to her?

[James J]

There's this girl I met, and we're not really that close, we don't know eachother that good...i really like her a lot, and i've also asked her out, and told her i have feelings for her, but didn't take anything too hard. She may still be interested in meeting me. She was the one to approach me, and I got mad nervous, so I quickly left. Now I want to make things right by getting to meet her, and in time, get with her if I can. The problem is I'm really nervous to talk to her, and she's usually with her friends, so it makes me even more nervous and shy to go talk to her when she's with friends, but I'm already nervous and shy and scared about talking to her. How can I get over my fears and go talk to her? Would it be wrong to approach her while she's with her gfs? And what should I say? I don't know her almost at all, we've only talked once, and I haven't talked to her once in 3-4 weeks, even though I've been seeing her around almost everyday, I haven't talked once. I really wanna get over that fear and go talk to her, but it's really hard to me, I always get scared, shy, and very nervous when I see her. My friend wants to help me, and he says he can come with me, and we can approach her and just say hi or something together, but I never follow him to her, I always get mad nervous...what can I do about that? What is the best thing to do right now? Thanks in advance...
