How can i become friends with the new girl?

ok so i work with this girl. Shes like a little more than a year older than me (im almost 17 and shes 18). She just moved here and she doesnt really know to many people. I myself was starting to get sick of all my friends and their drama, so i was actually looking for some new friends,and well here she is. However, i am so shy and quiet, i just dont know have to start a convo or what to talk about. Ive talked to her about all of the little stuff like where shes from, and stuff. We work at a restaurant so we do get the chance to talk but i just dont know what to talk about. Shes really outgoing and has a great personality, but i just am to freakin shy and quiet. What can i do to try and connect with her more. I did hang out with her a couple nights ago, but it was with a group so i still never really talked to her. Idk what the hell my problem is, when i was younger i was so popular and wasnt shy and i didnt care about what people thought of me, but now i cant even talk to someone.Help!How can i become friends with the new girl?
You've already asked her about where she's from, but what I've learned is that people love talking about themselves. Invite her to go out to dinner with you or to your house to rent a movie and order pizza. Either way, when you're just hanging out, ask her questions about herself. If she orders something weird at the restaurant say ';Wow, I've never had that...how did you ever find out that you liked that sort of thing?'; Or you can even Ask her about her friends back home, or how she likes the new neighborhood. Stick to finding out about her, she'll start asking you about you and you'll find stuff that you have in common.

you should ask her if she wants to hang out with you after work sometime, maybe go and get something to eat. while you are out hanging with her, ask her about herself. what is her favorite type of music? where did she move from? does she have a big family? etc.
