Yes, the L word is frightening and if a guy I liked used it on me, I'd freak out and cut ties with him. I'm so manly and testosteroney.

To be honest, though, I fall in love with people fairly quickly. With Andrew, it took a couple of months, and I knew from earlier than that that I liked him a lot more than I was letting on. I can name only a few times in my life where my heart has overuled my mind, and only once was that in a love situation. (All the other times, it was cake or Italian dishes that had me posessed.)

Judging off what I said, my advise to you is to go for it, but as Gov said, take it gently.
Remember, you don't need to go totally to the dating phase right off the bat. Let her know how you feel first. Courting is fun, right?

In fairness, I don't know much about relationships so I'd advise you to go more off Gov and Sarah. I had two "bf's" when I was 13/14 and two serious boyfriends. The first lasted two and a half years, and the second has lasted almost two years. I'm not a particularly overly clingy or saying I love my partner constantly type person. My boyfriend is my best friend and our lives together are spent joking, doing stuff for each other and going to bed. Together. Dirty tiemz. Communication, common similarities and trust are the key, but I'm going way ahead of where you are right now.


First, you need to tell her you have feelings for her, and find out if she likes you back.




The second to last line of this post was the only one that really needed to be said.
