Girls, I have two hypothetical situations for you.

Some starting information:

*Your name is Jenny Smith.
*You and I are good friends.
*I have feelings for you.
*You are single.
*I have written a song for you. (You don't know it yet.)
*I am going to sing/play it at the school concert. (You are going to be there.)
*The song I have written is non-specific (ie. It doesn't say "Jenny Smith" over and over again... It could be about anyone.)
*I don't want to sound arrogant but the song I have written is my best and it is very non-daggy.

SITUATION 1:
I walk up on stage and say, "This song is dedicated to Jenny Smith." and play the song.

SITUATION 2:
I walk up on stage and say, "This song is dedicated to a perfect girl in the audience." and play the song. You think it might be about you.

How do you feel about each situation? (Embarassing? Romantic? Cute? Lame?)
How would you react to each situation?
Which situation would be preferable?

Help would be apreciated.

to me... it depends. If we were just good friends i'd get a feeling you might be feeling something more, then i think it would be a bit awkward.

The first situation i think it's sweet, but i guess it also depends what the song is about.

I'd preffer the second one tbh. It's more romantic and really sweet.

#1: Could either work out perfect or backfire, embarass her in front of the whole school and ruin whatever sort of friendship you guys might have.

#2: Could also work out perfect but you'll have to tell her that she's the perfect girl that you were talking about. Even if it doesn't work out you guys can still be friends.

Choose #2... it has a LOT better chance of working

EDIT: I'm a guy... I guess this wasn't really for me lol. Tell me if you want me to delete this.

Walk on the stage and say "This song is dedicated to the perfect girl in the audience" but look at her while saying it. Good luck !!

#1 - Embarrased mostly. Assuming she likes you as well though, I would also say romantic. But if you don't know if she likes you, I wouldn't go with this.

#2 - I would do this one personally. She might guess, but there's no telling if it really was her. Best also since you'll be in front of peers. I don't know if that's a concern of yours though.
