Crush
By Fledermaus
21 February 2007
Would I? Dared I? Could I?
I blurted it out:
" Don't be shocked, but... I have a crush on you."
A pause. Then she replied.
" Don't be shocked also, but..."
I liked her grammatical incorrectness.
" I don't have a crush on you."
I smiled.
" OK. That's fine with me, but I just had to know."
I still think she's cute though.

Ha ha - but all I can say is that she must be mad! Don't give up; just give her time to get used to the idea and try again with just an invitation out. (from your agony aunty).

Oh, fledermaus. You really need to work on those chat-up lines. 
 
I find, "You don't sweat much for a fat lass" breaks the ice.

Thanks Josie and snodlander. 
 
I still haven't got a clue what she thinks of me. After the incident above we still went out together and I was the only male invited to her parties, but recently I haven't heard much from her and I don't dare to ask her again :p

Enjoyed the sixth line. 
 
I'm with Snodders here. You need some 'direct subtleness.'

How quaint

I love this! So simple and direct but in just a few short lines the reader really feels the moment. Well created in just a tiny piece!

Thanks SJP.  
That's how it happened, and, although she rejected me, I was glad she took it so calmly. And at least I know what she thought of me.
