What I remember:
After a long time of thinking, I decide I want to try for this. I ask her friend where she is. She says she is away camping. She will be back on later tonight. So in agony I wait.
I reluctantly admit to one of her friends I have a crush on her. She agrees to relay the message. I wait. Her friend says that she won’t be online until Sunday. I wait.
What was probably the reality:
After about an hour, I figure I've got nothing to lose, so I go about trying to do it right away before I change my mind.
Shortly after I tell her friend that I have a crush, and she assures me that she'll pass on the message. Waiting is awesome.
