Its like this I really like this girl but I'm not in her class or have never talked to her so here's the pitch I get someone to tell her that I like her not to ask her out I'll do that myself but just to see if she likes me back which I think she does You know the slight glance every single day at lunch time and so on and don't worry I'm not just imagining it in my head.I'm not a fool.I was going to ask her out myself but figured why risk getting rejected and embarrassed like that for no reason when I could get someone to see if and that's a Big If she liked me in return so then i would ask her out myself.Finally here's the question what I said above an OK way to go with it and secondly I'm 17 and she's 14 just wondering if that's alright.Bear in mind I'm from Ireland which has a completely different culture from America.If she likes me and since I like her I don't care what anybody thinks.
You might not talk but you are obviously aware of who each other are.
You said that you wanted to avoid rejection and embarrassment but if someone tells her how you feel and she says she doesn't feel the same, how are you gonna feel? Exactly. Just because you weren't there doesn't mean that you didn't put yourself out there.
Also, something to consider. When you ask a girl out on a date you are basically saying "hey I find you interesting/attractive and want to get to know you better, do you feel the same?" So do you see how asking her if she likes you beforehand is kind of pointless?
If she doesn't agree to go out with you, then she doesn't like you. Not to mention that doing it yourself instead of getting somebody who doesn't care shows confidence and self assurance, which are both attractive qualities. [ PhilIvey's advice column | Ask PhilIvey A Question ]

Age isn't anything but a number. I am 17 and my ex is 28. We got along fine. but worked out even better as friends. [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]
