Should I sit here in frustration and misery, or just go for it?

Question - (24 July 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 24 July 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *sk The Leprechaun writes:

So I'm going to college in september. I've been there a couple of times on inductions. And already I find myself really really attracted to this girl lauren in my German class.

I met her in spanish class, but it got cancelled because there was only 4 of us. So I'm a bit bummed about that since I thought that would be a great way to get to know her, especially as she does german too. But German's got like 20 people in a class.

But it was terrible, I looked like a classic loser. I got lost and missed half the induction then I sat next to her and put the chair on her foot, accidentally stole her papers, dropped them, then bent down to pick them up and hit my head on the table twice. To top it off I then got stuck between two chairs on the way out. They were kind of heavy and really I was just waiting for people to get out the way. Then on her way out she moves the chair and gives me this look that's half pitying, half wanting to burst out laughing. It was a bit embarrassing. And not a great first impression.....

So I was wondering, come september, how on earth do I go about this? She might not even be gay/bi, but she just strikes me as someone who might be, and I'm usually pretty accurate. So that makes it harder, I can't just let her know I'm interseted straight away before I get better proof.

But how the heck do I do this? I actually find myself attracted to a normal person in a normal situation for once and because it's so uncomplicated I have no idea what to do! I've spent the past 3 years obsessed with my teacher, so there's never been anyone else. Maybe I shouldn't even pursue this, I'm still in love with her, and she's making me call her and text her now. I KNOW that she felt the same, and that's also killing me right now, the frustration. Should I sit here in frustration and misery or should I go for it with lauren, swallow my bottled feelings, and try to move on regardless??

A female reader, anonymous, writes (24 July 2009):

I think this question depends on whether or not you feel like it's the right time to move on. You have to ask yourself a lot of hard questions that you care about. Do you see a future with this teacher? How much do you want to be with her? Is it love or is it something else? If it's love is it the sustainable kind? Is your love for her deep enough? Is it worth it?

If you think it's all worth it, then I would keep at your relationship despite how unorthodox it is.

If not, then you'll be starting anew and I think this lauren girl (if she is interested in men) will think you're cute. I thought it was cute anyways lol.

The worst she can do is say "yes" or "no".

Just prepare yourself for whatever the answer is. Like the saying goes "hope for the best, prepare for the worst"...you never know though, she may just like you in return
