My friend has really bad anxiety issues so I know how bad that gets. But joining karate seems like a good thing for you! You really love it and I know your crush is there, and if you see him, don't avoid him. Chances are you will talk to him at some point there, and just act totally surprised and say something like "I had no idea you went here! My friend suggested I try karate out so here I am!" or something similar. It sounds kinda lame I know but it was the truth, you had no idea he went there so just come out and say that. If he's the joking type you could even say something funny like "What, are you stalking me?" so it turns that attention on him and not on you, since you seem to be really nervous that he would get that idea. He would know you're joking so don't get nervous! Play it off as a complete surprise and joke some about it. It won't be a big deal in the end. Plus you get to spend more time with him, and that's definitely a good thing (:

Go join the class.

I actually know who your talking about your crush is actually in this martial arts forum, he goes by the name Keyboard Warrior. I sure hell answer.

I know I know you don't know your grandfather from San Quintin.

So I have a huge crush on a guy and he knows that. He knows I like him and he likes me to. He's nice, he's cute, and the most amazing person in the world.

I recently quit dance because I hated it, and my friend told me all about Karate. She loves it and suggested I try it. I have always wanted to learn self defense, and karate always sounded fun to me. Well she also told me something that is making me regret this.

My crush goes there.

I have already taken the trial to see if I liked it, and I did. I really did. I also saw my friend who suggested it there, and I said hi and stuff, but I was glad my crush wasn't there mostly because I'm afraid he will see me there and think I only joined cause he's there. That is totally wrong. I didn't know he went there, I didn't know that at all when I asked my mom to join. I'm stuck in a web here, and I have a matter of days before I have to go back and either join or leave.

I love it, but I don't want my crush to think something that's not what it really is. Plus I have real bad anxiety issues, and last time I was there I was so scared I would see him that I wanted to run away from that place.

Please help. I'm so alone here.
