Don't Know How/If I Should Tell Her

[KansasNavy]

Hey everyone, long time no see. I've been pretty busy since I was last on here, but hopefully I'll be on more now that things have settled down a bit. Enough formalities, on to the main topic now.

I've had a crush on this girl from my school since about March of this year. I know who she is, mainly because I remember almost everyone I meet, and through following her on Twitter and being her friend on Facebook.

Problem is, we've never had any contact at all, that I can remember. Scratch that, she did accept my friend request, or I accepted her friend request...whatever it was freshmen year. We're seniors now, and I don't have any classes with her. I had a class with her freshmen year, but that was it.

I'm not exactly sure how I should proceed with this situation, because I really want to go out with her (at least for one date), but I have serious doubts that she knows who I am.

My friend told me last night that I should message her on Facebook, but the thought of that makes me scared and a little bit sick, along with some anxiety. I'm worried that she may tell everyone that I'm messaging her or something along those lines, and then no one will have any respect for me.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

If it is bothering you that much, make the move. The worst that can happen is that she rejects you. I would have rather been rejected, than to have not done anything wondering "what if" all that time. Take it slow, start off by just making yourself known to her, then eventually work your way up to becoming comfortable with her.

You shouldn't feel afraid of the situation. If you get into a relationship with her, it is going to be out in the public, so if you want to be with her, you have to understand that. If you feel more comfortable talking to her online, then you can do that. Maybe you can gain some confidence doing that, so you can advance into interacting with her in real life. I wish you good luck with this and hopefully it all goes well. :)

Again. Agree with CELT

But what should I say to her online to start a conversation? That's what I'm not sure about.
