I doubt any of you remember me, but I'm the guy who posted this topic a little while ago.
I still have oneitis and I want to keep it, so please don't try to help me "get over it." I have no doubt that you'd mean well, but it ain't gonna happen.
Being the AFC I am, I haven't gone much further since I posted that topic, despite all your urging. I know you people were giving good advice, but I just couldn't force myself to follow it.
Luckily, I think she still likes me (read: crush, at least). She tends to be particularly shy when I'm around, and recently during a fire drill, she kept talking quietly to her friend and giggling with an occasional glance in my direction. I still like her (read: oneitis), and circumstances are about to force my hand.
See, we have two classes together. Both are quarter classes, however, so if I don't ask her now, chances are I'm never going to. So, sensibly, I've decided to ask her now.
My time limits are set by the final exams. I don't want to ask her on an exam day, and exams begin this Friday. I have to ask her before then.
Now, I'm going to give you a little background.
I'm sort of introspective and not outgoing at all. Frankly, I think that most people aren't worth knowing.
I do have friends, but they're not exactly the most popular people in school. That's alright.
As for the girl, she's probably on a slightly higher rung of the social ladder than I am. She's quite, but she knows a lot of people well enough to talk to them at school, but I think she only has a few friends that she's actually close to. Some of them are quite a bit more flamboyant than I am.
I, on the other hand, don't have any cohesive group of people I could hang out with or talk to.
In case you were wondering, we're both juniors in high school, and neither of us has our license yet. I'm not sure when she gets her's, but I'll get mine in a few months.
So, I'd like to ask you:

So, I'd like to ask you:
- Does she like me? (I'm pretty sure of the answer to this one, but I'd like some reassurance)
- How can I get her away from her friends long enough to ask her to go someplace? If possible, I'd like to be able to do this without making my intentions obvious.
- How should I work the driving situation?
- Can I keep her interested in me as a nice and intelligent guy? I have a bit of a dry wit, so I've got F. I'm just missing C.
- Is the coffeehouse in the town where she lives a good place to go for a first date? She'll probably be able to walk, but I'll have to get someone to drive me.
- I was not previously part of her social circle, so will she expect me to hang out with her friends when/if we start dating? Will she expect to hang out with my friends, who are really pretty boring?
- Assuming that I start dating her, how do I interact with her in school? Do I find her and talk to her in the hall between classes? In the unlikely event that we have a class together, how do I act?

Thanks for taking the time to read this lengthy post. If you could respond to it (no matter what you have to say), I would appreciate it.
