Hi...I know I'm new here, and I will probably sound like a noob, but please, just listen to what I have to say.

I'm a typical middle school guy with hobbies such as trading card games, jamming with friends, etc. I enjoy musical theatre alot, I like the art of music, math, and so on. I care for my friends, I enjoy hanging out with them, and for the record, I'm actually pretty darn smart. (not to brag, you'll see why this is a problem.)

So there's this girl in my Musical Theatre class that I'm attracted to. We've known each-other for about 3 years, done shows together, but we're only really semi friends. Sure, we chat from time to time, but she generally talks with other people.

Then, there's also the fact that as a result of my smartness (is that even a word?), I'll be going to a different school next five years (Sep 2010 - May 2016), and in a matter of two months, I'll probably never see her again.

The thing is, I want to say to her that I like her, but the burden is wearing off on me, sometimes making me unable to go to sleep. But even if I tell her that I like her, and she for some reason likes me back, then I really can't do anything about it, because of the fact that I can't see her. And as a humane person, I don't want her to feel sadness, so I'm sorta compelled to keep it quiet. But then I still have the burden issue, etc.

So what should I do? I'm trying to figure out a way to make it so that both of us can be happy, but I can't figure it out...

Thank you for spending your time listening to my story, and thanks in advance for helping me with this. I trust you all; you seem like a reasonable community.

Additional Detail:

Distance from the school where she would be going to where I would be going: 12.9 miles

Distance from houses: 52.7 miles

And I do not drive.

It would be about 12.9 miles away.

Basically, I'm going to a University, she's going to the same school.

That would be 52.7 miles (yeah....), and for the record, no, I do not drive.

Honestly, thank you so much for your reply. It means a lot to me.

As for the suggestion, I will definitely consider it.

Reminds me of something she once said, actually. "Don't worry if the outcome is good or bad, just make sure that you don't regret anything."

But that's getting off-topic, really.

Anyway, thanks you!

Flufferball says that he had a good conversation with the girl he likes today.

Nothing THAT special, we just chatted about what we both were doing, talking about Musical Theatre shows, etc. A few hints were dropped here and there, and what may be quite possibly a hint from her.

But yeah, Flufferball did have a good conversation.
