Well, I'm not really someone to speak when it comes to love-life..
But, I think you should continue the way it is, but go a little further.. Since you've been in love with this person since August, you've known eachother for some time, and it's not like you met yesterday. So if you ask this person to hang out with you, not in a romantic kind of way or anything, but just like "Hey, I'm going to the movies tomorrow, wanna join?" or something friendly.. This person might already like you, and be mad about you (the way you are about them
), but I suggest you take baby steps and not say "WOW, I'm drowning in your beautiful ocean-like eyes and I am SO horny I could have sex with you right here".. *Cough*
