Should I just tell her?

So I just realized that I like this girl like last week, but there's only 3 weeks of school left and then we go into high school. There is a lot more variety of classes and choices and I'm afraid I won't have any classes with her and I'll have missed my chance. The only person I've said anything about it to is my best friend. Should I just tell her how I feel to get rid of the tension and see if she likes me back?

Hm. This is a tough one. The heightened emotional situation you find yourself in coming to the end of term means your hormones will be running overdrive. The added pressure of potentially not seeing her also means you are rushing to a conclusion, one way or another.

Don't you have a prom you could ask her to, or whatever they call it in the good ol' USA?

Personally I don't feel one should date anyone who isn't already a best friend ( but I'm unique I know!).

I say leave it. Start talking to her if you can, get to KNOW her, not just what her body looks like. And if in a month or so you still feel the same, you can always just add her on Facebook saying you missed talking to her and seeing her around.

Calm yourself. Life is long, and you don't have to always make leaps of faith at short notice.

What Clara said.

Don't spill your guts to her, because that accomplishes nothing. Go introduce yourself I her and be cool.

Just tell her because if you don't, you will be wondering and asking yourself what if

I'll go ahead and +1 Clara's response on this one. That's probably the best advice.

To add my own input, though, since you are in middle school your desires and such towards dating people can be pretty easily lead by impulse and those kinds of middle school relationships that you set up right at the end of the year might not work out too well(unless you can see her over the Summer). Personally, though, I'd say just wait. Maybe you'll have a class with her next year, or maybe you won't. However, perhaps in some future high school year you'll have a class with her and you could decide if you're still interested.

Alright well thanks for the advice guys. You see, if I were to ever ask her out, I would never do it if we weren't at least friends, nor would I expect her to say yes. That's when things start to border weird.
My dilemma is that having just realized my feelings for this girl, I never really tried to make friends with her even though she's been in my english class all year.
Then again, maybe it's just one of those weird quick things and I'll feel completely different by the time summer's over.
