So, Ive crossed paths with this girls for about 2 years, not every day, but a lot of times. First time I noticed she was looking at me when i was saying goodbye to my family, thats when it clicked for me "huh, shes hot".
After that, it has been crossing paths on the street and sometimes when im training at the yard of my department (ive seen her looking through) The thing is, in the beginning, I would stare at her when we were close and she also did. But now (few days ago) She kinda gets shy and looks away or straight. I think it has been so long witohut anyone telling anything that now its awkward and painful for both of us. The other day I was gonna talk to her but I froze and couldnt stare at her.
Should I start with a quick "hi" and smile and keep walking? (and then see how she reacted)
