As to the girl, well, I'd befriend her, or at least be on friendly terms with her. Talk to her at parties, at school etc. and establish a rapport. If she reciprocates the feeling then go for it. If you're not sure, then go for it anyway. worst thing she can say is no, and you'll be regretting it if you don't at least have a crack.
Wis it were that simple...we live fairly far apart (25-30 minds between our houses), we go to different schools, and-my greatest mistake-I sent her a Valentine's Day card, with all the predictable content such a card entails. I mean, I had liked her "that way" for about 3 years, and I hadn't made any...advances, coward that I am. It is one godawful mess. Her family's been around to our place and vice-versa 3 times now and she hasn't been present. I think I've scared her off.
But I'm derailing this thread; don't mind me.
