I like this girl that I sat next to on a bus for 6 hours on a return trip from a three night school sponsored field trip. I knew I liked, the next day she asked me out on a note. I said yes . Then something came up that day and I couldn't make it. Now she feels awkward around, I could tell because she whispered it to her friend because she sits behind me and her friend in front of me. What should I do so she doesn't feel awkward around me?:(

I'm also kinda shy around her, but she is never without a friend next to her in the halls and in class, she had a friend pass the note to me. She has a different schedule now so I only have Orchestra and Gym (not even same class just period) with her.

I like just to sit down at lunch and watch her talk with her friends, though not in a creepy way, I'm also kinda secretive about this crush with my friends. I think they think I'm just looking outside or staring off into space as I eat.

How should I ask her out, I know one of her friends knows cause her friend read one of her notes so should I apologize/ask when she's with that friend? Or should I leave a note in her locker? Poem? IDK I'm really confused:what::(.

Resolved:D

Explain to her that something came up and if she still wanted to you could re schedule.

Ouch, that is awkward. The only thing you can say is that you are really sorry but something else came up (and maybe tell her what it was). Then explain that you are still really interested in seeing her and ask if she'll give you a second chance.

Did you explain to her that something came up? If you didn't you should have just apologized the next day and explained. You can also tell her that your still interested and try again.

She asked you out the first time, and you missed it. Things do come up, and it'd be courteous of you to explain that to her, instead of having her think that you're just not interested.
Also, maybe you should be the one doing the asking this time. Tell her that you'd really like to make up for it, and plan something special. Don't make her plan anything out.
I would also suggest trying to find the time to ask her face to face, instead of having friends pass notes.

I'm look out for her in the halls, lunch, even on the way to her bus, she always has a friend with her.

Just reschedule and tell here the reason why you couldn't be there.

What age and gender are you? These would help tailor are advice.

Imagine how you would feel being stood-up on a date?!

You need to wise up, get some guts and sort this out. Or you've lost and HURT her.

FYI I bet your friends aren't fooled at lunch.

Walk up to her when she is with her friend and speak to her then, right in front of company.
This shows you aren't embarrassed to be with her, apologise profusely and tell her EXACTLY why you missed the date. If it wasn't something actually important, ask why you deliberately sabotaged your chance. Fear?
Plan a day for just you and her, ask her out - tell her how long you've liked her, or something sweet that attracted you to her.

If you're struggling to do any of that - you shouldn't even be dating her!

Good luck

One thing that I've never understood is why people can't just be straight up and explain situations they're in to other people. It's stupid to try to make something else up. If she's nice, she'll understand. Just tell her exactly what you typed here.
