So, this happened today, and I’m currently lying in bed cringing at myself.

I’ve been talking to my crush for a while now we share a lot of common interests, like video games, fantasy media, and all that good stuff. Naturally, I figured Valentine’s Day would be the perfect time to finally make a move.

After class, we were talking about a book we were both reading, and I was desperately trying to find a good break in the conversation to ask her out. But she was already heading toward her ride, and I was running out of time. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, my brain just went, SEND IT, and I blurted out that I liked her and wanted to ask her out.Cue awkward silence.

Instead of leaving it at that (which would have been bad enough), I decided to keep talking. I rambled about how I didn’t want to pressure her, told her to think about it over the weekend, and then because my social skills were already in flames just walked away after wishing her a happy Valentine’s Day.

She didn’t really say much, and now I’m just stuck here replaying the entire thing in my head on a loop. Hoping I didn’t totally blow it. I just wanted to type this into the void that is Redit so thanks for reading my cringiest moment of recent memorie and advice is welcome but not sure how much it can help now.

TL;DR: Tried to ask out my crush on Valentine’s Day, fumbled it hard, rambled like an idiot, and walked away in embarrassment.
