Hey so i’m currently in grade 12 and wanted to ask this girl out. I think she was giving me signs at first and I also had a crush on her, but i chose not to give in because I was more concerned about my studies and thought its just some dumb high school crush. It’s now been about 5 months now and she still occasionally looks me in the eyes a certain way but i don’t think she’s that attracted anymore. Ive come to the point where I wanna ask her out and just find out, but the thing holding me back is rejection. After all this time that i finally decide to make a move only to be rejected is gonna hit home. Also, if I’m rejected words gonna spread and make the vibe at school awkward for me.

So honestly any tips to deal with rejection?
