Glad I have caught your attention :yeah:
Okay, so there's a cute girl that has been at my school since I started in grade 9, we're both in grade 12 as of this post. I met her within a group I was in prior to high school. As everyone knows, elementary friends break apart, so did the group and her and I never really spoke to each other since the group split.
Near the end of last year (Grade 11) I've caught her eyeing me a few times, alone and with friends. This year she started giving me large smiles and greetings when we pass by in the hallway; I return each one of them. She usually hangs out with her friend about 90% of the time, when not in class. I've never had an actual excuse to walk up to them and talk to them, other than once when we were looking for someone to smoke with; it was just a quick greet and interrogation. But when my friends and I walk up to a group that involves her she gives me the smile and greeting, and I notice she smiles most of the time I am around, and she locks her gaze onto me, like how a magnet leads to metal when close. I find her avoiding conversation with me, and I am the one who initiates it about most of the time.
From previous experiences, I'm pretty sure she has a crush on me, but it's hard to tell because she's a social and friendly person. I don't want to confront her asking about it if she is only being friendly. One thing I consider is that I don't really see her doing these things around other people other than when I am around. I don't actually have a crush on her, but that's not saying I wouldn't date her. I've texted one of her older friends, who happens to be my friend; I asked if this girl talks about me when I am not around, or if she preforms these friendly actions around anyone else. The friend responded saying she's never heard her talk about me, but they don't hang out that much anymore. She told me to just talk to this girl and ask her, but I have anxiety problems which steers me away from such situations because I'm not sure how to start a conversation with her or continue one.
There is a party coming up on Halloween that I would like to invite her to, so time is limited on assessing this situation. Maybe I could use the party as a first date idea, or a way just to talk to her?
Anyway, a tl;dr version of this is I think this girl has a crush on me, I want to take it a step further by confirming this and if so, asking her out. I've never previously had relationship experiences with another person outside of family/friend. Any help on how I can approach this situation and get it rolling?
