doing sudden shit like confessing you have feelings that early into just being friends is dumb, unless you genuinely know a fuckload about eachother.
i'd say stick with the cute painting thing, do some subtle shit like >>231181 suggests, and go from there.
don't expect 8chan do give you answers, expect it to give you ideas. think hard, over a few days, of how those ideas can relate to your unique situation. if you really don't want to fuck it up, put in the effort to not fuck it up.
