Quick advice needed about a girl

Need some advice and the crowd here seem to give good responses so here goes...

Got my leavers ball this week and theres this girl that I have liked throughout 6th form but never really talked to her very much. She knows who I am and is in my form so we are a little aqueinted. Would telling her I have feelings for her freak her out a bit? We are both going to different uni's so any relationship would be short...but I don't want to scare her seeing as I hardly know her. She doesnt have a boyfriend.

Cheers (and sorry for another one of those threads)

PS I am male.

If your going to different universities, its a win win situation, if she likes you then you might be able to make a go of a long distance relationship, if she doesnt like you, you won't see each other much so there wont be any sort of awkwardness! You will soon get over her at uni if its the latter.... I would tell her. :smile:

Cheers dude, I'll give it a go. I'll have to get her on her own first though Im not doing it in front of a crowd!

You could always just ask for her number rather than tell her outright that you like her. Then youre letting her know and its not quite so open to awkwardness as it could be if you just outright told her that you liked her like that. Especially if shes shy.

Totally agree with Fruit-cake, plus telling her straight out would probs freak her out and just cause a lot of discomfort. She probs hasn't had the chance to decide if she's interested in you yet, so you don't want to scare her away.

Get her number, take her out, see what happens.

yeah gotta go with all the advice above... also its your 6th form ball - celebration of the past 7 years at your school (probably! maybe last 2, but still!) make sure you enjoy the evening first off cause probs the last time you'll see a lot of people!

but defo make sure you get the girls number - there's nothing to lose. whats the worst that could happen? it all goes awkward -> forget it enjoy the rest of the evening, the rest of the summer and then uni where you'll meet tonnes of people, it'll soon seem insignificant! but if it goes well then there's potential, so yeah, no loss!

Just makesure that you don't tell her you have feelings for her as that would be a big mistake at this stage. Just focus on getting her number and then set-up a date.

Yeh, don't talk about "feelings", just tell her you like her and think shes hot.

Defo go for it. I was gonna do the same, but the girl I like didn't go to our leavers' ball- so now I'm mightily pissed I didn't ask her sooner.
