Okay, so I should explain that I'm 22, but I'm very inexperienced when it comes to romance. In many ways the feeling is like a novelty to me, and I think for those reasons, I treat it a lot like a high school crush
But to get to the story. I recently joined a class for 3D animation, I usually get there by train. I've been doing my best to interact with more students there, something of which is a challenge since I have social anxiety, but there was one particular female student who happens to travel to the same railway station with me after class (though we don't get the same train)
Now at first I didn't think much of it, but I enjoyed her company. Every time we talked on the way to the station, it left me with a good feeling inside, but I didn't think much of it.
About a week later, I realised in some ways I was behaving differently. I was missing out on doing things like going to places I enjoyed or buying things I liked in favour of talking to her. It was at that point I realised I was quickly developing a crush on her. It got stronger since then, like I would wait after class just to get the chance to talk to her, though I did my best to not make it obvious. I'm friends with her, and she caught on the fact I was waiting once, and even joked about it a little, though I tried my best to deny it
My point is, I have no idea what to do next. I want to tell her, but my anxiety keeps getting in the way. I keep worrying about things like how awkward it would be in class afterwards if she didn't feel the same, or that I might embarrass myself when telling her
