Need some knowledge and assistance on how to start this relationship the right way...

[Stratocaster]

This is my first post here, so bear with me.

 

So there's this girl in at my school that I like. She is new to the school this year, so I have only known her for a few months. She is in a few of my classes, and we talk once or twice a day. She has no boyfriend that I know of.

 

The interesting thing, though, is that I'm 90% sure she likes me. I'm pretty sure she liked me before I liked her. I had already noticed it in the first month of school, and that's the main reason I became attracted to her. I ususualy noticed her looking at me whenever she thought I couldn't see her doing it. Whenever I start playing my guitar,( I always have it at school, since my band practices every day at school before it starts) she stops what she is doing to come watch me. She has asked on numerous occasions for me to play her a song(in a playful way).I also had a friend come up to me and say, " You know it's obvious that she likes you," so I'm sure she does like me. She has no close guy friends she talks to a lot, and sits with no guys at lunch, so I'm not worried about competition.

 

I'm now at that akward stage of starting the relationship with her. I don't have her number, but I'd much rather talk to her personally when I make my feelings known. I've come up with two methods of this, but each has it's own challenges.

 

1. I could simply tell her I like her. This could potentially be bad beacause I might be showing my hand, so to speak. It could be very akward too. There are probably more pros and cons of this, and if anyone thinks of any, please speak up.

 

2. I could ask her out. The biggest problem with this one is that neither of us can drive yet. It would be extremely weird to have to have my parents drive us to our first date. There are positives of this method also.

 

3. If there is a third way out, somebody please mention it.

 

I'm a little pressed for time and I need to reveal my feelings to her withing the next week, because Christmas break is coming soon. When we start back up again in January, most of our schedules change and I might not have any classes with her.

What would you do in my situation?
