I’m kinda new to Japan, I moved into Japan 3 weeks from now and i go to Language school every morning. I ride bus and there’s always 1 Girl (looks like 22-23) who always looking at me like everytime we meet each other. Is it okay to ask her name? I am single and i think she looks cute.

Nah, she may be offended and demand that you commit Seppuku.
FFS, why do you think it might not be OK? No visa for chatting up girls?
PS: yesterday she stared at me and we made a longest eye contact in my life, i don’t want to be creepy to scare her and my intention is good and I’m too scared to do things like this

you should say “kimi no na wa???”
Speak English….slowly..Yes, you may initiate a conversation. Smile and give her your email address.
I mean, either she’s staring at you because you’re foreign, or because she thinks you’re attractive. One of the two, possibly both. Why not at least strike up a conversation?
I’d eventually stare too if I noticed a socially inept guy staring me down every day of my morning commute.
Before you ask, I got the socially inept part from the fact that you made this post. Not gonna stake my life on it, but I’d tread carefully.

Is this the first time you’ve ever spoken to a girl?
Just go for it. I wouldn’t open with “what’s your name?” though… also don’t tell her she looks cute, it’s just a bit much from the get-go. Maybe start with a wave, a hi how are you to get things going.
What’s the worst that could happen? I’d say it’s very good you’re leaving in 3 days tho, just in case things get awkward on the bus haha
It’s now or never!
Opportunities don’t happen. You create them.
Penguins of Madagascar had some good advice.
Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave.
atsui desu ne…
Then go from there based on the return you get from her.

If you need to go to Reddit to ask, you probably shouldn’t be talking to girls…
Step 1: Exit bus with her
Step 2: “Hey… 熱いですね…”
Step 3: “(your name)です”
Seriously, how hard is it? Sometimes you just have to go after what you want, dude. Yeah an obaachan might give you a dirty look but that’s part of the process.
Its actually illegal to speak to women in Japan, thank god you made a post asking, that coulda been dangerous
Congratulations, you’re living in an anime. Here’s what happens next:
>As the days go by, the guy’s heart flutters with each passing moment, and he finally musters the courage to approach the girl one sunny morning. With cherry blossoms gently falling around them, he confesses his admiration, and to his delight, the cute girl reveals her shy smile and admits she has been staring because she too finds him irresistibly charming. From that moment on, their love blossoms like the most enchanting fairytale, and their daily bus rides turn into a delightful journey of laughter, love, and shared dreams.
My guess is you’re more creepy than you realize and she’s trying to figure out why this weird gaijin is staring at her.
She looked at me, you can say things are getting pretty serious. 
Edit: forgot basic grammar and vocab
Just ask her directions to some random place. If she gives a very short answer then just end it there. If she shows a little interest then start making a little more conversation.
You got nothing to lose as long as you do it in a respectful way.
I exchanged casual greetings for about a year with my now wife before finally exchanging digits…the following week she was transferred to a different city.
What have you got to lose?
Hey man trust me go ahead and say hi. Often times they want to be friends but they are too shy to approach you first
I’d suggest you ask if she’d like to go to your place for pizza and sex. If she answers “no”, then reply, “What, you don’t like pizza?”
That’s how I met my first two wives.
Let us what happens tomorrow! Try to say hello at the very least! 🙂
I’d just like to take a moment to thank OP for this awesome thread. The comments have made my Thursday bearable. TY all.
