<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Throwaway because my friends are frequent redditors and know my regular username :/

Long story short, I have had a crush on this girl for over a year now. Despite many attempts to talk/chat/text I was never able to become someone that talks to her often.

I usually have no problem getting to know someone/becoming close. But with this specific person, I cannot carry a conversation. It's more of a give than a "give and take." For example, when I usually ask someone "how was your day" he or she will answer and then ask in return "how about you?" or something of that nature to keep the conversation going. This doesn't happen with this individual :(

At this point, I'm debating whether to come clean and tell her directly that I have feelings for her and risk things getting even more awkward than it already is, or to wait and try to build up a relationship with her first. 

But the latter option is discouraging since its already been over a year with no progress.

What should I do?
