I'm 16 years old, and going into my junior year in high school. I have dated a couple of different girls since middle school, but only because my friends have told me that the other girl liked me. I'm generally way to shy to ask a girl out, and it is causing me issues.

Since freshman year, and yes this was during those other relationships, I've had the biggest crush on this one girl, Stephanie. We have had a few classes together during those two years, and we talk and get along fine. Then coming towards the end of this last year, I've been getting a few signs that she might like me.

The only problem is that she and I run in totally different circles. I have no idea if she has a boy friend, or even really likes me that much. I just know I'll regret it if I don't at least give it a shot. So, here's the question, how do I go about asking her out, or figuring out if she does like me/has a bf?

Please, Help me out

the only way to really know is by asking her straight up. you should give it a shot, you really have nothing to lose. if not that, then try asking around. maybe go through friends to see if she has a bf. even if you do hang out with different people, theres always some sort of connection.
good luck.

You should ask her. Since you run in different groups, it won't change things a lot. Is she somebody you see every other day in lessons? You can just start with going to see her in breaks, talk about common interests, etc. One day you can just suggest to go see movies. But you shouldn't go without asking her anything, it will only cause you to regret.
Good luck!

Thank You both, I know I should just ask her straight up. I was just wondering if there's something I can/should do first to help give me that little boost of courage I need. I'm just so nervous.

You should start talking with her a lot, but know when to talk so you don't actually bore her. When you have some talk going on, I think you'll have the courage

Thank you very much, I've got to try, It's just so hard to get that courage for me when the answer to my question truly is an unknown.

You should get over it with time. Nobody was born confident, you have to build it up
And, don't be concerned a lot about the answer. You'll find another girl even if she rejects. It's not the end of the world.
