1 in 4 girls are sexually assaulted, and it will be a man, a man in this very room right now will try to rape you at some point in your life.

And worst of all, he could be any one of us. He could be in this very room! He could be you! He could be me! He could even be... *killed by shotgun*

Social networking sites are ace to find out whether or not someone is in a relationship. Search for her on MySpace or Facebook or whatever you're into (or whatever network she's on). Easiest and most painless way to find out if she's taken.
Anyway, if you're just looking to dip your , just make sure you bear in mind that she might not be up for a relationship like that - but by the sounds of it, everyone at your school is sexing each other, sounds like she'd be up for it too.

As for advice:

I'd wait for the new school year to begin.
Then I'd strike up a convo about what she's studying, football, or whatever.
Ask for her number, if she asks why say it's in case you get stuck with homework (or something along the lines).
You now have her number - use your imagination for how to use it.
Meet up at a park, or before/after a football match, etc.
???
Profit (your definition of profit, mine would be a loving, lasting relationship with sex only a small part of it... yours is clearly different. )

What are you the president of his fanclub?

It's not that hard, it's hardwired into your psyche, and girls initiate the majority of it, so just go with the flow.

Weird as this sounds, it's completely true. Just don't make any penis jokes. That doesn't work. I found out the hard way.

Be self deprecating, that's how I succeeded.

Only works if you know how to do it well, so as it worked for you I assume you self-depreciate well --- with most people though it just makes them look insecure and that's a big turn off for a lass.

*googles self deprecation*
Ah, I'm fairly good at that, I think.at least when I do it.

I took notes from Conan O Brien's material when he still did his Late Night show.

But if you can do it well...it works for me, I'm regarded as rather funny.

I can't pick anyone up though, but thats directly related to how I look.

You guys are kinda freaky.
