Does she like me, or at least did at one point?

[Croconaw]

There is this girl at school and I really like her. She used to always hug me when we saw each other and invite me to hang out at the park by her house. I went there a few times and we had fun. She got concerned I was avoiding her because I was really acting shy around her, but I couldn't help it. I don't want her to think I hate her. I graduate from school on June 1st and I want to tell her I like her before then. It's just that we haven't talked in a few days even though we passed each other in the hallway. I walk the dogs every day and I pass by her house. She usually comes out of her house as I'm walking by, like she knows I'm out there. Although, she has not been coming out recently. I feel weird because I don't want to keep stalking her like this but I really like her. I think she liked me at one point because of her hugs and her happiness when we would see each other. How do I get over the fear of telling her how I feel? :(

You get over fear, when you realize you have nothing to really lose, that you aren't already in the process of losing due to inaction.

Well if she is worth your affection then she won't hurt you for telling her you like her, it will also mend any damage done by her thinking you're rejecting her.

You can preface it along the lines of, 'listen this doesn't have to change anything between us if you aren't interested, but I really like you, as in I have a crush on you. That's why I've been all shy'.

If you are graduating it is even easier to deal with a negative response.

I'm hoping for a fluffy lovey-dovey end to this though :P Let me know please, rooting for you here! Good luck :3

N.B. In regards to the comment below, I'd strongly urge against undertaking any meaningful action/decision whilst mentally impaired, be it alcohol of otherwise. 99.9% of the time that ends badly.

Hey Ferali, nice to see you on VTF again.
Anyway, about your fear, I'd advise just gathering up courage by telling yourself: "I can do this, I can do this", maybe taking a small sip of wine beforehand for courage as well. Good luck and hope my advice helps

You really should just tell her.

[Croconaw]

I'm just updating. I will tell her next time I see her outside of school. It's difficult in school with all the people.

I'm thinking saying something along the lines of "I've been meaning to tell you this before my graduation, but I really like you."

Hopefully, that doesn't sound too weird.
