here Maybe try finding a nice time when you can talk to them, and you're both comfortable. If you want, bring a close friend to be a third wheel or for them to get you out if the situation becomes uncomfortable. Uh...lemme think...Try and start up a conversation but if the situation is too awkward to, just take a deep breath and say it.
I may've given advice for the entirely wrong thing so if I did tell me and explain it more, and I'll respond quickly.
