Confused feelings over a female friend...

Question - (14 March 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 15 March 2011)
A male United Kingdom age 30-35, *elkirk writes:

I'm kind of confused about my feelings for a very good (female) friend of mine. The thing I know for certain is that I really really like her. What I don't know is whether I want to go out with her / ask her out. Sometimes I feel like I'd really want to, but sometimes I'm scared it would ruin our friendship. I don't want to ask her out and have her say no, or go out with her for a few months and then break up, and it get all awkward between us. I already really really enjoy just being with her as friends, so it's not like I *need* to have her as a girlfriend.

Even if I choose not to ask her out, I don't know whether I should try and share my feelings with her or not. I kind of feel bad about not telling her I like her so much, like I'm tricking her into thinking I just think of her as a friend when that's not entirely true, but at the same time I don't want her to think I don't really like her that much if I say I'm not sure if I want to go out with her at the moment, and as a result she might decide not to go out with me if I ask her out in the future. But the truth is I like her so much as a friend that I don't want to risk losing that, and that's the only thing that's keeping me from asking her.

What should I do?

precious-nsy agony auntu didn't tell us if u ve a girlfriend or nt. Since u really like d girl nd u don't want to loss her nd u don't know if she has feelings for u, i'll advice u to get a girl(i.e if u don't ve a girl friend) introduce the girl to her as ur girl friend, watch the expression on her face nd the way she will react from there u know if she likes u or not then u pour out ur feelings to her.
