I chatted him [actually before Thanksgiving break but..]. We're at school, so I am phoneless. Said "hi". He read it, I have no response.

I chatted him [actually before Thanksgiving break but..]. We're at school, so I am phoneless. Said "hi". He read it, I have no response.
TELL THEM NOW
Now? He wasn't at school today, and I kind of want to ask him in-person. I've had one relationship before (I told y'all about this, right?), where I got asked out (I was the fourth person out of nine the girl's asked out in the past six months, so I didn't exactly feel special). Got asked via email, replied --- aaaand it lasted four days and one date. We couldn't talk to each other anywhere other than text. Nothing in common, and so she ended it (of course, I saw through the "oh I kind of have family problems right now" thing).
I just wanna get my feelings out...and I don't. I could do it --- go to my email right now, send the message. Or text him. Or (GP), run over to his house and ask him! But I'm not even scared of that --- I'm scared of the aftermath. I can't shake the feeling that I'm not enough, and, at the same time, I don't want things to go badly. My own imagination-driven fantasies go very well...and the truth would be me getting rejected, or worse --- him saying yes, then deciding he doesn't want to be with me within a day.

Better not to rush it in my opinion. Wait a while to get to know him, flirt a bit, I dunno. I’ve never been in a relationship so don’t trust my judgement.

Don't worry. I've never been in a real one either, so never trust what I say. Although I do give good advice, I'll admit it. (Just saying I trust your judgment)
But what if you've known them for four years? Been decently close friends, despite him being a year older? Had dozens, hundreds of times over the past two and a half years where you could've told him? I feel like some real (GP)ing (GP) for missing these chances. I've never really flirted, so...I'm not entirely sure how it works.
So: what if things go well? The flower he gave me at HoCo (Homecoming) was actually something, and I didn't f*** that up by being confused? What if he feels the same way, not caring about the year in age, the social capabilities of us both (I might have friends, but he has much more and he's such an awesome person), and the four-ish inches in height? (I'm 5'11, he's like 6'3). What if he gets over me being...me, and is willing to give up things for me? What if...I had someone who cares for me, even though I can't believe the words I'm saying?
Then what? What do I do? How do I do it?
And how do I broach the subject with people? I am a very different person with people than I feel like. I haven't broached this, what I've felt for (^see above) two and a half years, with literally anyone. I want to, of course, and the people I'd broach it with aren't homophobic or anything like that ---- as a matter of a fact, most of them are crazily supportive with me. (These are essentially my extended & immediate family + my therapist + a few close friends.) But...how do I tell them? I'm not good at telling people things. I've had...bad thoughts, very bad thoughts, pretty regularly for a while, I have some serious issues with self-esteem and need to stop my habit of hurting myself (not badly, just hitting that builds up).
Anyway. I'm sorry. I'm a terrible piece of (GP) that needs some serious help, and I want to do things but can never do them. Sorry for this. Please ignore this, if you have so far.

…look. What I said earlier. I could easily do it, type up the words. I have ‘em nearly memorized. But…I’m not scared of the moment of asking him out, I’m scared of the aftermath. What if he says no, and suddenly everyone knows? What if he says yes, but now I have to explain this to my parents? What if he says no, and I have to explain? I’m just scared, dude. I’m gonna figure it out eventually. I just need some time. And yes, I know it’s lame, but I swear.

Hey, if nothing else, at least you know how you feel.
That's a start. And here's some simple advice: if they don't like you back? Not worth your time. Lots of people out there, if one doesn't like you you can find someone else.
Trust me, I know what this is like. Or... sort of, at least. I did? I dunno how to put it.

Yeah. I get the “I dunno” feeling about the advice I give as well.
What I’m wondering, though, is the following — again, I’m decently sure he likes me. Not 100%, but I do have a gut feeling. But I’m not worried about Step #1 — I’m just not good enough for him if he says yes, or…on a no, I’m not sure what I’d do. Not that I’d be broken up — I am very good at emotional endurance, but more that I’d lose a lot of friends and have to explain a lot to my parents.
I’m gonna start with my parents, I think. Thought about giving them a Christmas “gift” that just lets them know. I just need to feel like I have some support before I keep going with what I want.

Hey, if nothing else, at least you know how you feel.
That's a start. And here's some simple advice: if they don't like you back? Not worth your time. Lots of people out there, if one doesn't like you you can find someone else.
Trust me, I know what this is like. Or... sort of, at least. I did? I dunno how to put it.

Yeah. I get the “I dunno” feeling about the advice I give as well.
What I’m wondering, though, is the following — again, I’m decently sure he likes me. Not 100%, but I do have a gut feeling. But I’m not worried about Step #1 — I’m just not good enough for him if he says yes, or…on a no, I’m not sure what I’d do. Not that I’d be broken up — I am very good at emotional endurance, but more that I’d lose a lot of friends and have to explain a lot to my parents.
I’m gonna start with my parents, I think. Thought about giving them a Christmas “gift” that just lets them know. I just need to feel like I have some support before I keep going with what I want.
