So I think I had my first crush on a girl ever maybe 4 months ago, but I also came to really want to be her friend, not necessarily in any romantic way. A bit over a month ago, I finally started a conversation with her and we've become friends, Sometimes we talk on the way home from school. I really want to tell her about my crush, but I guess I'm just worried about overwhelming her.
But recently I've felt a lot more compelled to tell her, as the school year is winding to a close, but she has also been a lot more friendly to me. She thanked me for starting our friendship, and that I've helped her to enjoy school a bit better, and other nice things in an email convo. I've just been constantly looking over those messages getting the warm fuzzy feelings, but I can't tell if and how I should confess that I like her.
