Here is the story… I have been in what seems to be a somewhat unstable relationship with a friend of mine. She is someone I deeply care about and would like to get to know better. Like I had said, the relationship seems (at least to me) to be somewhat unstable. We met about a year ago, became acquainted at school and kept in contact over the summer, and then all contact just stopped. It wasn’t anyone’s fault we just somehow drifted apart. Being in school with her for the first couple of months I felt a bit awkward whenever I saw her. So I tried to stop the feeling by starting conversation again. Every once in a while I would say, “Hello!” or “How was your day?” Eventually we began having conversations as usual. The instability had stopped. So what is my problem here? I have developed somewhat of a crush on her. Whenever she walks into the room I immediately feel more relaxed and calm, yet my heart rate seems to rise just a little, and the light anxiety of “butterflies” overwhelms me. I feel admiration and caring for this girl. I would really like for trust to build up between us and for a connection to really grow, however I do not know how to go about doing this as I am not at all certain of her feelings towards me. How do I go about doing this and how might I go about building our relationship without making anyone feel awkward?

The class you two share, ask her if she wants to study for a test together.

Or just say, "I'm going for ice cream after school, are you coming?" Wording it like that supposes ahead of time that she is. Even if she says no, you've let her know that your available outside of class.

Chuffs idea is excellent.

Just sit her down just you and her and tell her how you feel it will prove that you are confident and you are ready to speak you mind and if she doesn't want to be in a relationship then stay friends and move on good luck in the future

Same with me lol. Anyway go up to her and give a compliment. It won't sound awkward! Even if just as a friend its nice and girls love that. For example say I liked how you styled you hair today even if its not true. After giving compliment for about a wekk ot three days at the least go up to her and use chuffs idea. Like chuff said even if she says no she knows your available. Girls aren't oblivious when someone likes them sometimes they just ignore it and pretend not to notice cause they want you to ask them out. GIRLS WANT GUYS TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE. After saying compliments and using chuffs idea ask or if nervous get friend to do it or text or email it to her.
