Well I think I've decided I'm going to do it in person.

It's just that (despite how long my posts are) I'm a really quiet person, and I'd really not have much of a reason to just call her up and chat to get it going or anything. And I've only sent her just a text message in the past, so it seems like calling her would be totally out of the blue and unnatural to me. Approaching her in person just to say hello and kicking it off from there sounds a bit more reasonable...

And I'm not entirely convinced she knows that I like her, and I don't know if she likes me in the same way, either. Though I've tried to drop little "hints", and I think her mother picked up on it the other day, I'm afraid that she's taken my lack of talking as being not interested in her. So I'm worried if I ask her it'll just completely catch her off guard and she wouldn't know what to say...

And like I said, I'm not entirely sure if she likes me in the same way I like her... I haven't noticed much to indicate to me that she does. Yeah, she gave me a lift but most anyone would have done that out of common courtesy, and she gave me her cell phone number just in case I needed it when she was picking me up. And she hasn't done much to tell me whether she was interested in the past too, though whether this is because she's genuinely not interested, as timid as I am about it , or because she expects me to do all of that sort of thing, I don't know

And I'd feel terrible giving her a sour memory associated with her high school graduation, and make her feel awkward the entire ceremony...

But don't worry, I haven't talked myself out of it (yet)! I know you guys really want me to just get on with it, and I will, I just want to be as prepared as possible for whatever outcome or situation I get, so when I look back on it, whatever happens, I know I gave it my best effort. Of course, I realize that doing these things for the first time never go as smoothly as planned, but I'd just like to avoid being clumsy as much as possible.

Though I've been trying to think of aspects of why she'd say yes too (not to be immodest)... I suppose I sort of lied when I said she had no dating experince, though I really just sort of forgot. She had gone with one guy to that dance in February a couple years ago. Nothing really came of it, they just went as dates. Though it did tell me what sort of guys she likes at least...

She's rather tall, probably 5'9" as a conservative estimate. She went with a pretty lanky guy, he's about 6'5". So understandibly she likes taller guys... I'm 6'3" 187 lbs, average build, which is hopefully sufficient...

I just hope I'll be able to catch a moment alone with her at the rehearsal, as I wouldn't want to ask her while she's with a group of her friends. Just because it'd be that much harder with an audience, and it'd put more pressure on her, and above all I want her to give a truthful answer. I hope I don't surprise her too much.
