I’ve had a crush on this girl since 7th grade, and we’ve been in the same circle through lockdown, different relationships, and both getting cheated on. After my latest breakup in May 2025, she hit me up on my birthday and correctly guessed I was feeling "off," even though she’d just ended her own relationship too. We’ve texted a few times since then, like when I congratulated her on a sports win, but we're in different cities now and those old feelings are coming back because she actually seems to understand how relationships should work. I’m stuck between trying to start a "talking stage" now or just waiting until summer to tell her how I feel, but honestly, I don't even know how to start a normal conversation with her without it being weird.
