I've learned the hard way that if you keep them in the "like" category and just beat around the bush when it comes to socializing with said person, you will not ever have a relationship with them. They will only see the awkward moments that you have when you are close to them. They do not know that you think about them daily or that you draw little hearts around your names. The only way to make something of it is to actually break from your shell, I did and I have not regretted one single moment. I missed out on a lot when I held back. Now, I will not miss an opportunity to shine. Good luck!
