From my own experience, in high school/junior high people often didn't deal so well with knowing a friend liked them, but in college it was simply flattering and no big deal. Things that made a girl in junior high stop speaking to me for a year would make a college freshman throw her arms around me. You can't really know for sure until you've tried it though. Had I given up I wouldn't have seen how differently people responded once I made it to university.
