6th
Wow, I actually have a story or 2 here.

Here's a story of how I asked out a girl at school.

I was quite an awkward kid at school. A bit chubby and shy, never really confident in the present of the opposite sex.

In 6th form I caught the eye of a girl I rather fancied. She was a year younger but she hung around with the same group of friends as me, I knew her, but had never really spoken to her though she made me feel more comfortable than any other girl I'd just met.

Via a mutual friend we both found out that we were keen to know each other a little better and so email addresses were exchanged and conversations across MSN Messenger began.

We began to speak more at school and eventually I mustered up the courage to ask her out.

We were hugging in the playground at the time, deathly silent. I'm thinking of a way to ask and the best I can think of is "If I was to ask you out what would you say?" I asked in my nervous cracking voice.

"I'd say yes!" she replied fairly confidently and clearly quite excited.

...

...

...

"Are you going to ask me out then?" she enquired after a few moments silence.

FUCK! Now I look like a cock. "Oh yeah, um, do you wanna go out with me?"

We have now been together nearly 6 years and it's our first (EDIT: Wedding) anniversary next Sunday.

Exactly
What I was thinking when I read the story. As well as going out to a phonebox so my sisters didn't stand by the phone and take the piss.

The following Buffy quote seems relevant here...
Oz: I'm gonna ask you to go out with me tomorrow night. And I'm kinda nervous about it, actually. It's interesting.
Willow: Oh. Well, if it helps at all, I'm gonna say yes.
Oz: Yeah, it helps. It-it creates a comfort zone. Do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?
Willow: Oh! I can't!
Oz: Well, see, I like that you're unpredictable.

After reading...
I have come to the conclusion that you are me, three years into the future.
