Yes I'm back, back again. Vocabulous is back, tell a friend. So if you are one of like three people who know my situation congrats now sit down and shut up because I gotta fill these other jokers in, ok? Ok. So I have had a crush on a girl for aprox. 67 years (I rounded up) and I can't ask her out or anything because I am 1) a yeller bellied milk drinkin coward who would only ask her out if I knew 100% that she felt the same way about me which brings me to the other thing which is that I am 2) the worst person at reading signs. To give you am example my first (and only) relationship lasted 2 years and I never kissed her. But that's all in a different thread I made a long time ago. Anyway, the combination of me needing to know for certain that she likes me and my inability to pick up any hints that she might like me has me stuck between a rock and another slightly larger rock that is actually connected to the other rock, so it's actually just one huge-ass rock. But I digress. Recently things have changed the most important change being that she asked me to join her band (her on vocals, me schlappin da bass) which I accepted so fast that the speeds at which I did it were so high that they had been previously undocumented by human beings. Anyway. This new situation has let me to comfortably talk to her every couple of weeks. The question is, she put in a lot of effort to get me in the band, first asking me to do the percussion for them, then bass. The other member of the band is also female but she has a boyfriend so did she do it because she might want to get to know me, or am I overthinking it as usual? I'd like to ask her to a dance eventually.

TL;DR: wat do?

P.S. She has never openly talked to me outside of band practice, but I wouldn't talk to me either because I suffer from a severe case of RAF or resting asshole face. Seriously I'll just be chilling, listening to music, perfectly happy, and still look like I'm about to firebomb someone's loved ones

Yay you read this train wreck. Unless you didn't than get back up to the top and read it you lazy shit

You will never know 100% if someone shares the same feelings as you. I don't think even the best of those at reading body language and reading between the lines can tell that. The best you can do is get to know her through band practice, try approaching her more outside of that, and if you really want to, just ask her out. You'll never know unless you try. That rock is a really hard rock to chisel your way out from but eventually you have to or, well, you're just gonna be stuck in that very large rock and it's gonna suck more than knowing and possibly being rejected.

A lot of people thinking not knowing is better than getting hurt when really it's even more agonizing because you spend all your time going "what if..." and that's just not healthy after awhile.

This, I can't real expand on what she said because everything is there, try toj get to know her outside band, just talk, and maybe if you want, just ask. What's the worst that can happen?? You know...apart from humiliation, awkwardness and rejection, but appary from those 3 devastating things I don't see what cold go wrong.

(PS, I love the way you write, makes reading even the most mundane stuff very interesting)
