So, I have had this girl stuck in my head for over a year now, and it has been driving me crazy. I have dreams about her and I dating/hanging out. It's not really a sex thing. I have had plenty of those with other girls, and I get over them. I have been with people over this last year, but it still won't stop. What I really want is to go see her and tell her how I feel just so we can go on a date or something and fulfill these dreams. It's like listening to a song you've had stuck in your head. Maybe if we just go on a date, then it will go away or flourish or whatever needs to happen.
Here is the problem. She was a good friend of mine from back in high school, and I haven't seen her since then. That would be about 6 years ago now. We talked a few times since then, but it's been over 3 years since that. We have both moved away from our hometown and live a few states away from each other. If I go see her, I could try and lie about something, say a job interview or random traveling or something. I could just drop her a message on Facebook and tell her I was in town and that we should hang out. I don't even know if she would go for it though. There wouldn't be the same urgency for her as there was for me. I could be more forward, but I don't want to be a creep.
Should I just try and forget about her and hope that these feelings will one day pass? That seems unlikely. Should I try to hook something up with the potential of seeming like a total creep? If I end up seeming like one, that will make its way back to me through other, closer friends for sure. I just don't know what to do.
