It's been a while, /adv/

First of all, thank you: I followed your advice and now I got a job and I still have enough time to play videogames.
I also decided to spend 2-3 hours of almost every evening going out at a local bar to meet people.
I made friends. I'm still weird, so they think I'm that kind of jokingly weird dude, but they openly told me I'm ok.

Now, the real thing. I want to go further. There's this girl I like, and despite I can talk to her freely and without any problem while doing my gimmick, or even while being serious (if the group is having a serious debate), I can't confess to her.
I almost tried once, but I diverted it into a joke, and I never tried again. But I think she kinda got what I was trying to say, because her attitude towards me changed a little. It's been almost 7 months, and she still acts like this.

I have to try again, right? But I fear I will panic again and do another gimmick. (Classic shitty fears: she will say no, she will laugh, she will tell the others, etc)
Any suggestion?
