Miserable=me
 

I just don't know how to deal with this anymore... It's literally killing me, and I can't escape it. I've loved this girl for months and until now, I could just deal with it and not say anything. She's one of my best friends, and it could easily ruin our friendship if I asked her out and she said no, and i'd rather die then be without her as a friend, and I don't know what to do. I haven't been happy to the fullest in MONTHS because of this. Someone... help...

Been there my friend and its not a happy place as you're finding out. From my experience it would be best for you to talk to her about what you think and feel towards her. No matter what the outcome it will ease all the pressure you're feeling and you never know, she may reciprocate your feelings. Even if she doesn't your long term friendship shouldn't be affected if its a strong friendship and besides everyone likes to know someone fancies them so it shouldn't be bad for her to hear. It may be awkward and a little uncomfortable at first but you have to come clean and see where the dice fall.

Good Luck.

My advice, just be straight with her. Just try not to sound desperate or crazy........chicks don't dig that.

I'm debating telling her, but i'm like, the worlds most shy kid EVER.

If thats the case you could try writing down what it is you want to say to her in order to get it clear in your own mind first. This will enable you to be prepared when you approach her about this, but dont be tempted to write her a note. I think it would be better, no matter the outcome, if this was done face to face so you can both talk about it and see where your relationship/ friendship would go.

Shy? I was the definition of shy. Here's what I used to do, ask her hypothetical questions like "what would you do if I asked you out?" or something like that. It's painfully obvious but if it looks like it's about to go down hill just play it off as "what if" question. but like scouse mac said if it's a strong friendship, then there is really no danger of losing her as a friend.

However this is much better advice than mine.

I think i'ma wait a while until some guy she likes graduates, because it'll be easier then.

Don't wait dude. Seriously just bite the bullet and go for it :)

Posh, I was in this exact same situation not too long ago. Just shows how all us of the younger setgo through the same things eh? Anyway, I just told her straight up, she said she'd rather stay friends, and that was that. Your situation might be different, but mine urned out for the better if anything because I told her. Then again, Im about the least shy person you could find, so...

Good luck with whatever you decide man. Im always here, drop me a P/M if you need to:)
