So you love her for almost a decade and are going to tell her only now?
Brool story co.
As highly unlikely as it sounds, it's...possible!
But given the unlikelihood that you would wait that long, in addition to the fact that your feelings towards a person DO change after some time (ask your parents, kids), we're going to assume that part's a lie. The question then is, why lie? The only possible motive I can think of would be to get the point across to the forums (in addition to feeding his own ego). Given that he cares enough to throw the case in our faces, I would say that the actual length is around one or two months (as any shorter would not warrant a forum post at all).
Now, assuming that the crush has been going on for one or two months (again, I didn't actually read the OP, so I'm just basing this off of what you said), that's not a terrible length of a school-age crush (including college-age). Hyperboles are a part of writing, fiction and, ironically, non. Get used to it.
So anyway, @OP, if my whole post was all wrong and it has been ten years, that would make you a creepy stalker. Especially given (given your ridiculous hyperbole and expectation of acceptance as truth, I'm going to assume that you're about 14-15) that you found her sexually attractive since about kindergarten. If I am right, however, and it has been one or two months, ask her out. Seriously, there are worse things in the world than getting turned down. In fact, that just means you move on to a girl that will accept you.
(Side Note: Up until this point, I feel like Phoenix Wright. Fuck yeah.)
(Side Note: After this point, I feel like a rambling old man. Oh no.)
Anyway, if I may go off on a tangent, kindergarten is a neat word (this has been on my mind since I said it in the previous section). In fact, the word comes from the Germans, and literally translates to "child garden". Given that the word has always referred to the schooling (and not some creepy B-rating horror movie), it is a very romantic and fanciful word. Children go to school so that they can blossom and grow into something useful for mankind. Incidentally, both children and fruits just end up feeding the rich anyway.
Which brings me to my next point; employers do not know what they are doing. Naturally, they are out in the world to make money, as are we, but they are often much too selective in hiring processes, and physical appearance takes far too large a role in non-customer service areas. Tattoos, piercings, and completely unprofessional attire will naturally send a bad impression, but what serious difference do pants make in an employee? Is there a secret power to khakis that I have yet to grasp? If employers do not hire people, those same people are not able to purchase products from their store, thus benefiting no one. I suppose that's the economic mess we're in right now, isn't it. Ah well. One other thing: employers hire, often, based on tax credits. Minorities suddenly have a huge advantage, as opposed to equality, over white males. That happened to me (quite obviously) at a Walgreens near me. A black male was late to his interview, so I had to wait as he went before me. Naturally, I don't really care, I mean I have all day to waste. Besides, the guy is wearing jeans and a sarcastic t-shirt while I'm in professional attire - what could go wrong? I overhear them talking, and after the first question or two, the manager offers him the job! He says that he has to think about it, and leaves, and lets me go to my interview. I go through a long interview process where the manager seemed very out-of-it, and I go on my way. Guess who I saw next time I needed a prescription filled. Sigh.
That also brings up a good point. What is with our fucking government? I can understand giving tax credits to companies for being diverse...back in the '60s, but is it really necessary to cripple 40+% of the population (white males)? We, for eight years, spend money that wasn't ours on a voluntary war, throwing us into a big mess. The war still isn't won, nearly 9 years later, we're still borrowing more money for it, and the new administration brings in even more high-spending bills. How does that help anyone? Taxes are going to skyrocket in the next 5 or so years, or maybe even less, and the recession will blow up into a full-blown depression that the United States may not get its way out of! I'm no economist, so I could be wrong on this whole thing, but damn!
So back to my original point, yeah. Go for it. Relationships. Wooh! Something like that, right?
