I wouldn't recommend the e-mail address or letter. It depends what you write of course, but I have the feeling you're planning to bare your soul to her, which would be much too much. Assuming the mixtape is part of a plan to get a date directly, a written letter or e-mail address would just send some really odd signals to her. Asking for her phone number would be better, after making face to face contact. I imagine that might be hard? She's worth it though, right? I guess you want to e-mail her, because you might feel a lot more comfortable with writing. Thing is, it will probably seem a bit creepy to her, or if not that, she might just prefer to be wooed in the traditional manner, or else simply have the feeback of a real voice on the end of a line, as it promises reality, rather than smoke and mirrors. I've made these kind of errors in the past. You'll probably have to make them for yourself, as that's the way it goes, but I'd like it if things went well for you.
Ps. The handmade cover is cute, and not too much, so long as you didn't cover it with hearts or something like that. Make it an open ended gesture. let her wonder about it, rather than declare your intentions outright. Don't expect her to decide too soon, or you might do yourself a huge disservice, as often the default response when pushed too much is no, or friend zone, which is also no.
P.p.s To make you laugh and feel a bit better, I used to carry around Jack of Hearts playing cards with my e-mail address on when I was 17, with the intention of handing them out shyly if I liked the look of some fair maiden. Not good. Not good at all, but hilariously funny in retrospect.
You're right, no e-mail, no phone number, I'll just give her the CD. Do you think I should just wait and see if she speaks to me after that, or should I approach her, later, and ask if she liked it? I'm sorry, I'm asking questions which you most likely don't know the answer to, especially since you know nothing about her. I know it probably doesn't seem this way, especially after the way I've wrote this, but I'd be absolutely happy just being really good friends with her. I'm pretty lonely, I guess, it would be great just to have one really good friend, and if it could be her I'd be even happier, so no, I guess I'm not looking for a date as such, just a reason to talk to her more and get to know her. Yes, asking for a phone number would be really difficult for me, I don't know if I could do that, I've never done that in the past, ever. As you said, I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable speaking via e-mail, because that's really the only way I've got to know people really well in the past. I guess what I'd most like is to just be able to sit down in the park with her, and speak for hours, and really get to know her, but I can't possibly think of any way in wich that circumstance would come about. Haha, well, I guess this whole idea isn't wooing her in the traditional manner, but yes, I understand your point.
That's okay then, it's nothing like that, just random cut-outs from magazines and whatnot. I guess most of the songs are there are appropriate, I just hope reads into the lyrics, otherwise all is lost.
Ahah, that did make me feel a whole lot better actually, Thank you, and thank you for all your advice, everybody.
ACD: I've probably confused you. In England, we call our equivilent of High-School, College. I'm one of the youngest in my school year, being born in August, so I leave this year, but don't turn 18 until summer break. I believe the girl I've spoken of is in the year below me.
Speaking of which, I usually see her tomorrow, but I don't feel ready to do this yet. I carried the CD around in my bag today, but I never saw her. I think if I had of, I would have frozen up anyway.
Flavus Aquila: Why do you say that? I'm not disagreeing with you at all, I just want to know why you believe I'm making a huge mistake. I guess I sort of already know I'm making a mistake by doing this, but music is the only way I can communicate right now.
