I'm honestly pretty confused right now because I know I like this girl but I like her so much. The reason I'm confused and a bit annoyed at myself is because I've talked to her about once in person and that was before I started to like her. The reason I'm annoyed is because this has already happened once, in a sense. I really liked this girl I had never talked to, and when we started talking on social media we got along really well. We became really close but then she ended up hurting me really bad. I think the reason for this may have been because we had never met in person (she went to my school, not a total stranger) so my impression of her was solely through her interactions with me online. I don't want that to happen to me again but the fact that I like this girl so much is keeping me from interacting in person with her. I just get extremely nervous around people I like and it keeps me from having a regular conversation with them. I know I'm going to talk to her on social media soon but I want to talk in person so that I know her whole personality before crushing too hard I guess. Advice on how I should go about that?
I'm not good at giving advice but maybe you should try getting together, with a group of friends a few times first. It might help you get more comfortable around her, and have a chance to see her as just a person.
