Cool(ish) Thing: Crushes and Frustration

No I'm talking about soda (Brian), but about, well you know, a crush--as in, on a girl. Okay, I've never really been one to want to share personal information on a blog, honestly I feel it's a little strange (obviously I've shared some personal things on this blog, but it was for assignments for my class--doesn't count). I realized the other day that I love reading people's personal insights, feelings, stories--they're just more interesting than anything else. Here is me changing my mind about blogging content (we'll see how it goes):

I have a crush on a girl I talked to for like 5 minutes. Silly huh? The funny thing is, I didn't really notice her at first, because we only talked briefly and I was in the middle of something (anyone that knows me, I'm pretty one-track minded and have a professional "ignoring" skill I use regularly).

In fact, it wasn't till after I walked by here a while ago and said "hi," did I realize that 1) I've seen here before, (thought) "Oh yeah, we talked that one time for a second when I was busy with something, so I didn't pay attention," 2) this girl is really cute. I also found out some other things about her through the grape vine, and by grape vine I mean other people I don't really know very well, who don't know her terribly well, but well enough to know some desirable things about her. I didn't make my secret crush known, the "grape vine" came forth with said desirable information by chance and I was lucky enough to be in the conversation (acting uninterested of course) when such details where shared. Suffice it to say, I want to ask her out on a date now. The obvious step is to just ask her out on that date right? Right.

Here's the problem. I don't know her. I seemed to run into her every day when I didn't care. Now, I've only seen her a handful of times since the naissance of my resolve to ask her out, and only as she is passing by my classroom window door (while I'm in class).

What to do? Suggestion?

Do I wait in the commons and hopefully she pops in for a sit? What if I find out where she is (like in a class or something), should I pull a Provo, wait till she gets out and just walk up to her and say, "Hey, you don't know me, well you sort of do, we talked once, uuhhh go out on a date with me?"

I can imagine that would be reaaallly smooth. I would like to think that there could be some way for the planets to align and have this chance meeting come about, without me becoming a stalker.

Here's to hoping astronomy is on my side tomorrow, gosh it's frustrating.
