A issue
I don’t know if this if the right place for this but I want to say it. I had someone who bullied me when I was younger. Later as in this current day I reconnected with my friends and that person happened to be one of them. She apologized for those years and we become friends although we don’t talk much, I have realized I caught feelings for her but I have no idea of how to talk to her. I am socially awkward and I think her being my bully from before is part of the problem. Although I know she is now super nice and we on good terms, I just feel scared. I want to know if there is anyway I could talk with her without being socially awkward or shutting down.
I'm glad you got an apology for being mistreated. I'm glad your friend has recognised her behaviour wasn't respectful but please be careful that you are not mistaking any attention, good or bad, for mushy feelings because you deserve to be treated well.
Having said that, are there other ways, instead, that might be easier than a face to face?
Just start simple, with sharing a piece of your day, or you could ask questions..
Are you planning on going away for the summer?
What's your favourite music?
My hobbies are.......... What are yours or are they similar to mine?
