making that move..

FERGAL7

Hey guys. Kinda caught in a rut. I'm doing my leaving cert at the moment just to give you an idea of my age. anyway there's this girl in my group of friends. to be honest I never really interacted with her much until about a year ago and we started randomly hooking up on nights out. At first it was fun but being in the same social circle meant that some of the lads started making it awkward (I don't mean in a laddish kinda way I mean in a being assholes way saying really rude sexist stuff to her when I wasn't there and saying I said it... they thought it was funny, but she didn't and it made things very awkward.) and me and her stopped. she started dating a guy and thats when I realised I was crazy about her but they broke up recently and I've found myself around her alot more lately, growing closer, and there's this buzz when we're alone together.
So what do I do? I'm pretty sure she likes me but the fear of rejection is crippling. people have said to me "just tell her how you feel!" but is it really that simple???

Yes OP, it really IS that simple, just talk to her and tell her how you feel and suggest that maybe ye should hold off on things till after the exams are over, that way at least it wouldn't be playing on your mind and you'd both be able to concentrate on your exams.

Best of luck btw, with both this girl, and your exams!

I'd second that and add that getting some mature new friends as well might be wise.
