So, I will provide the context then cut to the chase:
I am an international, yellow by skin, but my first language is english. I am introverted, but comfortable with who I am. The girl is a local girl, really quiet, and not that sociable from what I can observe during lessons.
So, I have been eyeing her ever since week 1, and the crush is just unbearable right now. Problem is, both of us are so reserved. I have tried giving the signs first - eye contact, body position while sitting, etc. The reason why I am apprehensive about initiating contact is that I am an international, and I respect the social lines where ethnicity is concerned. I know it is.a PC world, and I should not even mention such things; but let's face it, when was the last time you saw a yellow boy and a white girl together.
Even discounting that, from a personality point of view, I just do not dare approach.
Once, the class had to discuss in groups, and i observed her interactions with her group: not much smiling, not much communication. So, this is making me worried that if I approach her, and the reception is bad, it would be worse than with a sociable girl who would probably still smile, laugh and try to be polite in showing "rejection".
What shall I do? It is unbearable!
