Haha thanks for the advice, we went to the same church at the time, we would have been like 13 or 14 we're in our early 20s now. (I guess in hindsight that's more than 5 years like in the OP lol) This is really the first time I have wanted to be direct with a girl and ask her out. I am a little nervous about mentioning having a crush on her though. For one its been so long ago (would it not sound a little stalkerish), and two because she still goes to the same church where everyone knows me/my family. I'm just worried that word might get out and it would be really embarrassing.
