Wouldn't you rather know you tried though? Would you rather have people tease you for awhile about it on the outside or drive yourself crazy on the inside always wondering "What if... what if I asked her.. I wonder what she would say.. what if......" which could last for who knows how long.

What's the big deal, people are attracted to people, you should have nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed of, so just shrug it off when your friends tease you about it.

To me, being rejected, at least I know I tried and can move on and be done with it... to never try though, that is a regret I just don't want to have to live with.

But you're young and will have plenty of opportunities, but good luck!
