Hey AUS, hope you don't mind me shortening your username? 

Welcome to the forums! I'm so glad you're here, hopefully more members will drop by and give you some support too. 

I think this is always tricky ie liking someone and not really being in their close circle of friends to interact with them more. 

I also think even when we do get an opportunity to speak with the person we have a crush on (even tho these years are well behind me now lol!)... we give off a "vibe" that discloses what we're trying to hide but screams I REALLY LIKE YOU! 

I mentioned this stuff to another new member recently.... try to calm the feelings of "crush" and try to convert the feelings into a "maybe she would be a cool friend" kind of vibe. 

Then just say HI to her. See where that goes. 
Just breaking the ice is a good idea. 

Bestest wishes, 
Love EM

Hey there,

Crushes are always so exciting and you tend to make this person into a bigger, scarier person than they actually are. My advice would be to try and talk to them like any normal person, and see what happens. Just start with a simple "hi, how are you?'' and then maybe ask how they are going with the current school work or something 🙂

I hope it works out for you,

Jaz xx

Hello AreUSatisfied,

Crushes are definitely very exciting, and like everyone else has said, I would also recommend just approaching them as a friend first. Take the pressure off yourself and your crush, friendships are much easier to form. Maybe find out if you guys have any shared interests, perhaps you're watching the same TV shows or listen to the same music. 

If you feel comfortable doing so, let us know how it goes!
