Candied lime peel and little crush

So I have a bit of a crush. I'm a big girl and I can admit this.
So I have come up with a plan.
I will make her a box of home made candy and give it to her as a gift,
I am concerned that this amount of effort for a person I'm not dating may make me a stalker,
but I sort of don't care; since I really really need a relationship that is not totally made of fail. I still don't get how it can be this hard to find a nice girl, single, likes girls, great smile, friendly personality. At any rate I have located one of this rare breed and I'm thinking that the route to her heart is through sugary things.Certainly this is the way to my heart so hopefully we will have this in common,

I'm making candied lime peels here is what I had to do:
First I took the peel from 10 limes, cut them into quarters and then spent about an hour and a half trying to remove all the pith from the back.
That done I boiled 4 and 1/4 cups of water and 2 and 1/2 cups of sugar in a pot before adding the peels.
Let that simmer for an hour and then drain (I saved some of the now lime flavored simple syrup YUM)
Next I tossed them all in granulated sugar and put them on a tray in the oven, I dried them for only about an hour since I like them kind of gooey but I guess you could do it for longer.
The last step will be to chocolate dip them and then arrange them in a nice box.
If that doesn't impress this girl then I am totally sunk.

The candy is sweet and bitter and delicious and overpowering. I put some on the Key Lime Pie I made with all the lime juice, it makes a great compliment to the soft yielding texture of the pie.
