Hi, L&F...ah, I remember when...being smitten by Kim F., and being terrified that she'd find out, and reject me...only to learn (years later) that she was quite interested in me, and could never understand why I was always so "cool" towards her...
Buddy, you just have to bite the bullet and approach her...what's the worst that can happen? Maybe she'll say no...? No guts, no glory...anyway, what's the basis of the attraction? Have you spoken with her?
You just might be surprised to learn that she might just be as nervous about the whole question of dating as you are, hmm?
Just...talk...to...her...she's just as human as you are!
