Hi there everyone,
I'm a fairly new member here and I hope i found the right category(/forum^^) to post my question in. I was looking some time for the right forum, paired with a great community and it seems, or so i hope, i've found just the right place
Well...here goes nothing:
I've known this girl now for about 1 year and during the last half year i've started noticing her and developed quite a crush on her. We're both 18 and finishing school in a couple of months. Since I have nearly no classes together with her, I only see her during the breaks, when we both sit together with our friends. We talk quiet often in school and chat via icq nearly every day. Around the time I started to notice her, a friend pointed out that she seemed to like me but i didn't take him seriously, 'cause we were quite drunk at that time
A few months back another common friend told me she would like to go "running in" at something like a prom with me, but didn't have the courage to ask me.( We both seem to be pretty shy...bad combo...)
("Something like" because i don't live in the US and our "end-of-school" party doesn't have quiet the status prom has, but im just gonna go ahead and call it prom anyway)
(Sorry if this sounds a little strange, but it's a little hard translating such specific terms if you're not a native speaker^^)
Anyway...After i heard this i asked her to go together and she agreed. Now we're going to take a dancing class together to be able to dance at our "prom-like" prom. (She told me it was going to be fun:/) ^^
This was some time ago now and our last day of school is drawing near (20 more days^^). Afterwards we have our final exams and prom in june. A few days back, while chatting she told me she had been just asked out on a date by a friend but didn't really think of him that way and wasn't that happy about it, because she didn't want him to get his hopes up. She ended up going just to be nice, how she phrased it.
Now up to my real question:
Lately i've been thinking about telling her how i feel about her, but i don't want my confession to be followed by awkwardness between us when she doesn't feel the same way. My current plan is to wait till after our prom and tell her, so we won't be forced to see each other if we don't want to...
The real problem right now is that june is 4 months from now and i don't now if i want to have this burden on me during my last exams after 13 years of school.
I will gladly take any advice on this i can get.
Thanks in advance for reading this far
please go easy on me if my grammar is too bad.
