Advice for a smol shy bean??

Juliet

There is this super cute girl that I went to school with, she's hella smart and totally "the cool kid" (She recommend me this book called "Dante and Aristotle Discover the Secrets of the Universe" which you should totally read btw, but I digress)

We have talked before on multiple occasions when we went to school together, but but now she's homeschooled so I don't get the see her anymore 😢

I want to talk to her and maybe hang out. but I keep getting serious crush feels, I'm afraid of putting her on a pedestal or seeing her with rose colored glasses!!

and I get so nervous that I end up not saying anything. 😅

Any advice??
