I need something else to concentrate on.

What do you do when you think you like someone?

How can you be sure?

And if you are sure, how do you proceed?

Yes, we both are fairly young.

Fortunately, I know how to meditate now. It's actually rather nice, to be able to concentrate strongly on something or nothing at all.

How does one do that?

Tell them how you feel?

Well being direct is usually best, but most find it rather difficult to be so confident. Perhaps taking them on a walk, or somewhere to have a nice meal or a cup of tea will help.

She might like that, to eat something good which she didn't have to cook for herself. She's the type who always worries more about the problems of others than her own.

Those who lose themselves in the service of others will understand the importance of such a gesture. I believe she would be quite receptive to anything you wished to discuss during or afterward as well.

You really think so? I want her to know she can depend on me.

[truehumili_tea]

I do. And how she feels will be evident by the manner in which she accepts the gift. Though I believe that if you are seeking such advice now there is a chance that they may feel the same.

I do hope so.
I feel like I'm out on a limb I've never been on before, so I have to be especially careful.
