what do i do?

[viper]

there is this girl that i really like at my school (im in middle school) . i was new to the school in september but ive been here long enough to no things go around quick (like almost all schools) but if you get denied by a girl these people will ruin the rest of your life but if she says yes you get really popular. im not looking to be popular or anything but i want to ask this girl out. im not afraid to talk to girls i have friends that are girls but not "girlfriends." But today i was talking to one of her friends and i asked who the person i like likes and she asked me if i liked her. luckley the teacher saw us talking and told us to stop. she will not be back in school till next tuesday. she will remember though. what do i say if i say yes and she tells the person i like and she doesent like me back im dead, but if i say no and she likes me she give up or something. what do i do?:(

I think just be honest. Say yes and usually they would keep it to themselves (they do in my school anyway). It is basically the perfect way to tell the girl you like her and you're not likely to get majoryly rejected if she doesn't like you.

I don't understand why you'd be "dead" if she didn't like you back though?
Yeah sure it might be embarrasing and maybe awkward for a little while but people tend to get over things pretty quickly. Especially in school, once the new hot topic comes along everyone will move on to that (that's if they even know in the first place) and you'd be back to where you started. Nothing lost, nothing gained.

I was in the same situation. Just express yourself. Who cares what other people have to say!

i never really thought about that

Yes, as MyOblivion said people tend to forget things quite quickly. Especially things of this nature.

the thing about forgetting things people will forget but i will a wanna be reputation and nobody will treat me the same even if they forgot

Well that's the risk you run. If you really like this girl and want to ask her out, then go ahead! I've been rejected by girls, but I am still the same person and have the same "reputation" today.

I honestly don't think your reputation is going to change as darastically as you think it is.
It's like when you're all nervous for a jab and you get in and you're sweating like mad and they roll up your sleave and you look away and the next minute they're telling you they're done. Nothing happened and it wasn't nearly as bad as you thought it was going to be.
(although jab's might not have been the best example you get the picture, right?)

I agree with Nikki (MyOblivion). In this particular situation, honesty is the way to go; I'm very skeptical that people's general opinion of you will dramatically change overnight because of a little thing like this.
