>>>I think you should keep your wits about you, and keep an eye open for more signs of interest on her part. You can gently let her know that you're interested in her without scaring her away by just giving her the occaisional compliment (as subtle as a warm smile when you look at her-I'm pretty sure you're already doing this!) and see what her reaction is. Then, you could also just ask her to do something that the two of you might find mutually interesting (Hey, have you seen "Billy Elliott" yet?) And remember, it's pretty much up to you whether or not things get uncomfortable after you ask her for a date (if she's not interested, that is-hope that's not the case!) If you still respond to her as someone you like spending time with in any situation,then things should continue as always (except she'll start looking at you as someone with a certain ammount of desire for her, and while I've met girls who don't like that, they're definitely in the minority. Just be light-hearted, don't make too big a thing about it, y'know?I'm rootin' for ya! -Depon[/i]
