Update: That girl I liked at youth group is still acting kind of like she's still upset even though she says she's not. And I have gotten over worrying about it. But the thing is things are still kind of awkward with us and I really want to make her forget about what happened when I gave her that letter to ask her to be my girlfriend and make her happy again. The movie was kind of a setup so I could like just invite her and she would come and everything would be normal again. But when it comes around to me asking her to go I would start feeling all worried and awkward again and I end up not having enough courage to ask her. Though I kind of did finally, and she said she doesn't want to come. She didn't come after all and we went to see the movie anyway because I didn't want to disappoint all the other people who were going. And now I want to invite her to bowling with us Thursday night but that awkward feeling is back help please I really want to make her happy.

Please help me by answering this is important.

You worry way too much. I do not know if I answered your other questions. If I did please go back and re read my answers.

You think too much. Maybe things are awkward but the more you think about it, the more you show it. The last likely you will get anywhere.

Be yourself.

If you want to try again. Say a bunch of friends are going bowling you want to come. Simple. If no, then leave it alone.

If yes, then just try to enjoy the time.

You keep going on about the mistake you made. You did not make any. If you did not take the risk to find out or even make an attempt to this girl then you would have never known what could be and just not doing anything is worse.

Now you know. It is better and less torture then actually not knowing one way or the other.
