Okay, I was just informed that Angelina might be allowed to date at 16. Because of this new development, I have a game plan. I'm going to ask her out on Sunday. I'm going to explain my feelings and let her know where I'm coming from. If she agrees to give it a shot, we're going to ask her parents. If they say yes, I have a girlfriend in three days.

Go for it

"...you should try reading my posts being getting all emo." --FoxMetal
Yeah, don't do it like that. Just say "hey would you like to have coffee/dinner/see whatever?" Everything else is best left implicit in that question.

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.

I was going to do something like that, Will, but here's the problem. Since I've already told her I like her, she's going to think anything we do as "friends" is going to count as a date to me. I could ask other people to go with and try and get her off of that mindset, but there's two problems with that:
1) You don't get to connect on a personal level as much when other people are around than when it's just the two of you.
2) She might not pay attention to me as much as everybody else.
I'll give you an idea of what I was going to say:
Prelude
"Angelina, I need to talk to you after mass." (lol, asking a girl out at church).
The Actual Talk
"Angelina, I know we've discussed this before, but I really just want to let you know where I am coming from. You are a great friend, and I enjoy talking with you. That being said, I really have strong feelings for you, almost indescribable. I know you said you weren't into anybody, and that's fine. All I'm looking for is a chance to see if anything develops. I'm asking you to take a big leap of faith, but we'll never know unless we try. And if, at any point you decided to give this a chance you feel that I am not right for you or you just want to be friends, I'm okay with that. I can't imagine my life without you in it at all, so I will be more than okay with that. So, what do you say? Do you want to give us a chance?"
Yeah, that was it in a nutshell. I'm trying to word it carefully, so I don't sound like some creepy person. I'm hoping she won't run away fast and never look back, lol.

"I'm not great at farewells, so uh... that'll do, pig."

Yeah, dude, don't say "indescribable," and "huge leap of faith." That's coming on way, way too strong. You're way overthinking this, as I'm sure we can all recall doing in a similar situation, so back me up guys. The question you are asking, contrary to everything your mind is telling you, is not profound except what you lend to it.
Consider it this way: she knows you're into her, so that's a thing. Since it is a thing intimately concerned with her, she has an opinion about this thing. The act of asking the girl out isn't introducing a new situation on which she must form an opinion, it's merely forcing that opinion to coalesce into a decision. It is within the realm of possibility that an impassioned speech might change this existing opinion, but I wouldn't bank on it. Instead, you should, so to speak, force the moment to its crisis on the strength of your existing relationship. Just take it easy, say "would you like to go out with me to engage in this specific activity on this specific date." That way if she says yes, you're like "bangin' I'll pick you up at five," and if she says no you're like "oh, okay, that's coo, see you next week." I mean, if you want to go through with the speech don't let me stop you, because frankly experience is an invaluable commodity, but yeah, that's how I'd do it.
Oh, and don't do the "we need to talk after mass" thing. It's needlessly ominous.

I need to know if she has any interest in me, though. If not, I'm going to move on and look for someone else. We'll definitely hang out if we start dating! :D

Yeah, you should ask her. But just ask her. Don't do the other stupid thing.

It's difficult to change a person's mind on how to deal with women. Alexander will recall how I was really adamant about using a Silence Dogood pickup line.

God's looking out for me. I did a job with my grandmother today, and the lady we did it for told us to wait just as we were pulling out. She gave us the bundle of flowers and, lo and behold, a red rose sitting in full bloom in the bunch. I'm so nervous...

I'm probably not qualified to speak on this, but I would side more with Willis in advising you not to make this bigger than it needs to be. Don't psych yourself out; you're asking her out, not charging her with delivering the One Ring of Power to Mordor or anything.

I'm asking her out... for the third time. This is it. I want to put everything into this third time. This is why I'm doing the whole shabang and everything. I have one last chance to convince her to take a chance with me. Then, if she says yes, I have to get through to the parents. It's gonna suck if she says yes, and they say no!

LOL yeah dude go for it

That's it, I'm calling her tonight. I'm so sick and tired of all the drama bull **** that is surrounding this whole thing. My friend asked her today if she liked me, and she apparently said no... Now, she'll be pissed off and think I asked her to ask her. I really can't deal with this ****. I'm calling her tonight and talking to her about it...

I'm glad I called her... Asking her out tomorrow would have made things worse. She said that she'll let me know if anything changes (and dating age is in fact 16). Now, I have to play the waiting game.
---
I will not accept death... I simply won't.
No waiting game. Dang man, no no no!

"...you should try reading my posts being getting all emo." --FoxMetal
She also said something strange. "Asking me out when I turned 16 would not have hurt your chances, but I'm going to ignore that you said you were going to because you haven't asked me out yet." Did she just hint at me to ask her when she was 16?

I-I-I have no idea what to say.....

No, she's saying you haven't asked her out yet. To me it just sounds like she's stringing you along because she likes the attention and not necessarily because she likes you.
That's just my two cents, though.

Holy **** we're in the Matrix? - Willis
You have experience with this tactic cheeze?

Cheez strikes me as quite the relational tactician.

This all seems far, far too complicated and procedural to end well.
