Hi all.

Basically I’ve fallen head over heels for a girl. I’ve liked her for a few years and she’s a good friend. I want to ask her out but… can’t.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s the fear that I’ll lose her if it goes wrong… I don’t know how to go about it or how to get her alone as she’s always with her friends. I also don’t know if she likes me the same way that I like her. In class she’s always turning around looking at me and smiling, asking if I’m ok… She’s funny, smart, beautiful. Any advice?

Sent her a short note just asking her on a date on her own, go for it you will only regret it.

Worst case you make a fool of yourself and everyone has forgotten it in two days

Have a conversation with her. Ask her about the homework, talk about a new movie that came out.

If she’s turning around to talk to you she probably has some interest.

It’s scary though…. so have a simple convo with her first. If you can get used to talking to her, it might be easier to casually ask her out.

for example, let’s say you run into her at lunch, say hi and ask her how she’s doing. it’s a good, easy icebreaker, and since she talks to you in class it wont be out of the blue or weird. next, ask her about something, like if she has seen one of the movies playing at the cinema or if she is looking forward to a movie that will be coming out soon. if she hasnt but wants to or is looking forward to some movie coming out, it’s a pretty easy step to say you’re supers toked to see it and would she like to join you on opening night?

still scary, but more relaxed.

or, just have a regular convo with no asking out at all. get used to being able to talk and be relaxed when talking to her before taking that next step.

i think you have a pretty good chance with this girl and, take ti from me, it’s worth that little burst of fear to ask out someone you like. you might hit it off :)

and when i said get used to talking to her, i misread and skipped over the bit you guys are pals.

soooo get used to talking to her in a way that has an opening for you to ask her out…. like the movie thing.

but if you two hang out alone together a lot you may have to use the word “date”…

If you ask her out, you might lose her.
If you don’t ask her out, you’ll almost certainly lose her.
