I have a pretty big crush on a girl, but we don't really get along very well. We're friends, don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those people that's afraid to talk to their crush, I just can't fathom asking people out. But that's not my point. My point is that we don't have that many common interests. I feel like it wouldn't go over well, because while I'm a gamer, nerd, geek, decent student, etc, she is more of the public speaking type and I absolutely hate public speaking. She's in debate club, and while I loved debate club at my middle school, the debate club at our high school is much higher level. They go to competitions and debate in front of tons of people. But yeah, I feel like we wouldn't go well together but I really want us to. What should I do? And how would I ever gather enough courage to start talking to her in less of a friendly way and more of a romantic way?

  -A Fourteen-Year-Old Hopeless Romantic

You probably have some common interests that you don't know about yet, so keep on talking to her and maybe start asking her more questions about herself. You never know, you may have a few common interests. Sometimes the best suited people aren't the ones who are that similar, however you do have to have something to talk about. You can start speaking to her in a more romantic way by starting off small, maybe compliment her on her hair or outfit. Something casual that won't  make her feel uncomfortable. Slowly you can become more flirtatious with her if she also likes you. Courage can be a mystical thing sometimes, but what's the worst thing that could happen if you do start talking to her in a more romantic way?
