I shall offer him a rose!

So, after three months and a crap load of heavy flirting, I'm now finally ready to ask out my crush! (You can see my story in my previous threads such as ''Fallen in love with a friend'', ''Is he into me, too?'', ''How do I tell him?'' and ''Is it the right way to do it?'')

I seem really insecure when you think about it, but I am shy and this the first time I ever do something about a crush. This time, the signs are still getting clearer :

-When we went to see a conference with school, I intentionally sat next to him and put my arm against his, and he left it there for the whole time, so about 2 hours! He even put it back when he needed to scratch his head or something!

-For the school show in which we're both participating, I sing a song in which is instrument (saxophone) is not present. Guess what? He said he'd do a partition for me anyway! His justification was ''Because I wanted to''.

Seeing as the prom is getting closer, I think it's a great occasion to ask him out. I thought I'd give him a blue rose while simply saying: ''Do you want to go to prom with me?'' People have been telling me a blue rose would be best since it's rare and blue is a masculine color.

I will be going to see florists this weekend to find a good place to buy it when I'll need it, but I still need to decide the day I'll be asking him out. I can do it either on Tuesday or Friday. I just don't know if it be best to wait for after the Show (on Thursday) or if before wouldn't change anything. I'm positive that if I ask him and he says no (unlikely with all the signs he gave), he wouldn't be offended or anything like that. It's just that I don't want things to be awkward.

Anyway, I know that when I'll buy the flower, there'll be no backing out. Wish me luck!

 

Thank you guys for the kind words. I can't wait myself

@DangerAlex : Me neither for the longest time. It's an artificial color, so it's one of the most expensive (not by that much, though. I'm not planning on ruining myself either xD).

 

Update:

I did it today, and unfortunately, he said no.

He was really surprised at the gesture and hesitated for quite a long time before saying a clear answer. He told me he would have preferred to go to prom alone and that he wasn't even sure he wanted to go at all. Then he just said : ''I'm sorry. I'll have to decline. It's really cool though. Don't feel sad.'' and then he patted my shoulder.

I even said if he's sure that even after the prom, well... He didn't understand at first, but then he said that he'd prefer if we stayed friends, so I offered him the rose for friendship instead and he did take it.

I was kind of depressed all day because I put too much hope into that relationship (it's the thing that got me out of depression). He talked to me and tried to cheer me up all day though. Now I feel better, and I'm happy I did something, even if it didn't end up the way I wanted.

My friends and family cheered me up too by saying that the signs were there and that he could even come back later because he never said the common ''sorry, I'm straight'' and that he hesitated for a long time. The ball is in his court if he wants to do something, I'll just act normal around him. At least, he'll have the time to analyze the things that have been going on around us for the last few months.
