There is this girl from my school. We have been flirting a lot lately, and we seem to talk every time we meet. We are in 5 classes together. We casually converse about subjects that we think alike in. We laugh a bit while we are talking. She shows some display of physical affection (poking each other, touching each other's arm, ect.) We smile whenever we see each other in the halls. I have recently developed feelings for her.
I recently told a friend of mine that I like her and was going to ask her out. He told a few of his friends that were my friends too. I didn't really mind that considering that they wouldn't tell anyone that I didn't trust. He then said something about it in class to me from a few seats away. A few people heard it, and they are the ones that I cannot trust. Before I knew it, it was all around my school.
I haven't asked her out yet, and I don't know if I will; it is pending at the moment. I don't know if someone has told her. With how small my school is, I assume that she knows.
I don't know if I should ask her out or just tell her the story. She doesn't have a cell phone, so I have to say it to her in a class. What would be the best thing to do in this situation?
First of all though, I would apologise for what's happened (even though it wasn't your fault) I think judging by the situation, she would of felt like she was put on the spot, and not sure how to react to it.
I would also tell her how it all happened. Explain how you ended up telling a friend, then some other people accidentally found out, and that's when all the rumours started.
Even if it turned out she didn't feel the same way as you, she would respect you for being mature and telling her about it, rather than you hiding away. If you do nothing about it now, it would make the situation even more embarrassing every time you see her, because you didn't get to talk about it.
Judging by the signs though, it does sound like she may be interested in you :) Like I said, it will make you look better if you admit that you like her. Girls prefer guys to make the first move, so I think you should go for it. Good luck :)
Goodluck and keep us updated
Sometimes when you see each other on the hall, ask her for her number and plan a time to hang out.
Seems like she likes you =)
