The Fabulous Prince Babel

Most of you may not be aware but I've been going through the process of a boy with a massive inferiority complex going for the girl.
When at school I project a character who is a b*****d with a heart of gold.
I'm loud, obnoxious, sarcastic, and very talkative and extremely eccentric but I've come to realize it's because of a massive inferiority complex.
You see, all my friends are very tall, very strong, and popular and I would go as far to say good looking.
I may be popular, I guess, in my year, but I'm very infamous amongst the upper classmen as a big personality.
I've always felt every day I spend in public is a fight for existence.
I want to be noticed.
If I don't speak people ignore me and while many people enjoy me and call me their friend I've always felt a sort of resentment towards me that was never actually there.
My friends, like I said are tall, strong, and good looking and I've always viewed myself as plain, unfashionable, and unnoticeable and from this perception of myself is where my eccentric mannerisms have stemmed from.
I've never really noticed girls.
There have been girls who have liked me but I was never attracted to them and the ones I thought were good looking were completely out of my reach.
A few months a girl I met this girl through a friend.
She introduced herself to me but I couldn't remember her name but she said she wanted people to call her Liz.
It never really stuck with everyone else but me.
Over the next months we began to talk and get to know each other.
She laughs at all my jokes, even the bad ones, and has broken the 'touch barrier' on multiple occasions.
She seems interested in me.
I developed a crush, and unlike my previous crush, this girl seemed really worth going after.
I had to climb my ego mountain and my inferiority complex.
Then I had to tell some of my best friends that I liked her because girls came up and they asked me if I liked anyone.
At first I thought they'd tease but they didn't and offered suggestions.
Then I told my Mom, and I thought she'd giggle at her son having a crush, but she offered support and advice.
The last thing I had to get out of the way was my friend who I met her through.
I had the crushing suspicious that he liked her a lot too and I was afraid how he might react if he found out.
So I told him today and he listened to me talk about how I felt and he said he was behind me 100% of the way.
He admitted that he kind of liked her but he knew it wouldn't work out.
He also told me a couple of years ago, in Middle School, she was teased a lot and she cried.
I felt an instant connection because I went through the same thing; I was teased, mocked, and insulted a lot and was always really upset (until I finally snapped and went batshit crazy, without caring about judgment.)
So, anyway, I've got my friends behind me and I plan on asking her out tomorrow if I can find the perfect moment.
I'd like to do it quick because I noticed this one guy trying to get her attention but I feel really encouraged.
(Frankly, not to be rude to this guy who I'm worried about, but he's boring in speech and is stiff with social normality; I think a date with him would be overly formal.
I, on the other hand, am an oddball and try to make every experience in life and adventure so I think, without trying to sound arrogant, my personality is very much more dynamic than his.)
So, wish me luck, and if anyone's got any advice I'm all ears.

Well, it looks as though destiny is on your side, Babel! Everyone's behind you and so am I!
You go and get that girl! Ride off into the sunset! You can do it.
And meanwhile, though, don't expect it to go perfect. Human's aren't. Go human in all ways. Reach out.

Asked her out and she said yes.
Now when I say 'asked her out' I mean she was telling me to see a bunch of musicals like Hair Spray and Phantom of the Opera and I asked if she'd like to get together and watch them with me.
She said we totally should and she asked me for her number but I didn't have time to give it to her because her parents were waiting for her.
But I'm meeting her tomorrow at a cast party for the play we've been working in for the past month or so.
So we'll plan from there. blaugh

Yep, she even kissed me today.
As soon as the play was over and they took their bows they ran outside to the commons where I was and she ran over, pulled me down, and kissed me on the cheek because she promised me yesterday she would.
Being young and in love is pretty great, I'd say.

We hung out today at the cast party and then she came over with me and a couple of friends over to my friend's house.
It was my three best friends, who know I like her, showering attention down on her for about three hours.
It was awkward for me because I felt like I had to move around my friends to get to her.
Anyway, got her number today and I'll give her my number on Monday.
She says she'll look at her schedule to see when we can get together but I have a feeling it's more of a friendship thing right now.
Hopefully I can get the relationship going.

YES!!!
I would say I had a part in it, but really I don't.
I'm so glad you two are together! It's emotionally lifting!
However, on a slightly more cynical note:
Falling in love - GREAT.
Being in love - Meh.

I don't plan on an uber romantic relationship.
Just a close companionship.
I might call her tomorrow and give me her phone number.

Anyway, so I called her last night.
Her mom picked up and told me she was in the shower but she'd call me back.
When she does she sounds slightly peeved or disappointed and I quickly gave her my number, awkwardly because I thought she didn't want to talk to me.
Today we talked like we usually did and she asked me how my mom reacted when she picked up, I told her she sounded friendly but she asked me if I was a guy by the name of Jason, which was also another bullet through my heart because I thought she was talking to another guy and he was a constant caller or something but she told me it was just her club assistant person or something, one of her guides.
And since she was pretty persistent with wanting to talk to me today I felt good.
On the bus, however, she told me we probably couldn't get together anytime soon because her mom doesn't want her seeing me and I didn't ask why.
She told me that the day I asked her if she wanted to see some movies she told her mom and she said, "No."
When I called yesterday she told me that her mom told her before calling me that if I asked a single thing about asking to see her the answer was no.

You didn't tell me this bit! Dreck. How highly does she place her parents?
