I’m not sure what to think about this situation and I want outside opinions.
There’s a girl I developed a crush on in school. We weren’t close friends or anything, just classmates, I have been trying to make small talk for about 8 months now, but recently something changed. Today in class, she actually started talking to me first. We ended up having a really good conversation, laughed, and it felt natural—not forced. It honestly stood out to me because it didn’t feel like a normal “random class interaction.”
The thing is, we never exchanged contact info.
Now school is over, and I won’t see her for about 4 months. That’s the part messing with me, because I feel like something could’ve happened, but now there’s just this gap.
I’ve been thinking about adding her on social media, but I keep hesitating. I have a fear of rejection in general, not just with her. I worry that if I reach out, she won’t respond, or I’ll come off as weird or like I’m chasing her. And I also feel uncomfortable being the one to initiate everything, I kind of wish she would take the first step since I been the one who approached her in class.
At the same time, I don’t want to just do nothing and let it fade if there was something there.
So I’m stuck between:
reaching out and risking rejection/awkwardness
or doing nothing and possibly losing the chance completely
What would you do in this situation?
