Dear Love Docta'...

So I've got this date tonight. My work is doing their annual Christmas dinner, and I am taking this girl that I am totally in love with.

Okay, so maybe it's not love, but I have had a crush on her for over a year now.

I don't know if she likes me, I don't know if she knows I like her. Could she have accepted my invitation and not had any romantic notions flitter through her head? She's in my program at school and we often exchange those looks that leave your stomach - er, my stomach - in knots. I know at one point she liked me, but I only found out after I started seeing another girl. That's been over for four months now, and I still want to try my hand with my original crush (ie, the Date). Can you even take me seriously when I refer to it as a crush? Doubtful, but please, read on.

I don't know what to do. I am usually fine when it comes to talking to girls (god why do I feel like I am in high-school again...), but this particular girl gets me all tongue-tied whenever I see her. I honestly don't think I'll be able to concentrate on getting the food in my mouth at the dinner if I don't spew out my thoughts to her, but there is something nagging at me that says it might not be such a good idea - not exactly very romantic, n'est pas? Besides, what if she's totally not interested... dinner could be awkward (though I think I've the charisma to fake like I'm still having a really good time... and I will have a good time, it's just...)

You know?

I've already got a million reasons of why she might say that she's not interested, from the far-fetched to the most pragmatic... curse this brain.

So what do you think? Bad idea to approach her before the dinner? I'm worried that if I don't act now I'll totally miss the boat, but if I do, I might be shooting myself in the foot.

And I haaaaaaate getting shot.

Signed,

Flustered
