I've been best friends with this girl for over 3 years and the past year we have become very close. I love her very deeply and I believe that she loves me also but I am wary of asking her out. A lot of me mates tell me to ask her out and she even brought it up once saying ,"Michael, it would be awesome if we could go out but we might ruin our friendship if we were to break up." That is my worst fear as well, I would rather love her and keep her as my best friend than lose her as both a girlfriend and a best friend if we were to break up! We are together everyday and we talk for hours on IM and on the phone. I am almost sure that she knows that I like her b/c of the way she acts but I can't be sure, can ya guys tell me how I could show and or tell her that I love her without making it awkward? Do ya think I should ask the lass out or not? Thanks. "peace"
