Star_07 agony auntThis kind of sitaution could either turn out really good or not so good. The plus side is that she is your friend, so you already know her pretty well and have a lot in common with her. If you both like each other, that is always a good sign that something good can come of this.

If you ask her if she likes you more than a friend and she says "no, I just want to be friends" it might be awkward at first but thats easy to get over. I have had a male friend ask if I liked him more than a friend and I wasn't into him like that and we are still friends. It's okay to express yourself but don't take it too personally if you dont get the answer you are looking for.

On the other hand, if you two have problems later on and end the relationship, you possibly could lose a great friend.

So this is up to you. Is it worth the risk?

ConcernedGirl agony auntTry and find out if the girl you like is okay with gay/bisexual relationships. If she's not, it's probably best that you don't tell her because this could ruin your friendship. If she is, try asking her questions like "If I asked you out, what would you say?" in a jokingly way. If she replies she would say yes, then officially ask her out. Don't listen to what your friends tell you, it's your choice, listen to your heart. Also, don't be afraid of what other people will think of you, because you can't help who you love, and it's nothing to do with them.

Ahhh... teen love. Isn't that grand? lol. Anyway, just tell the girl how you feel about her and be honest with your feelings. I say call her now and find a place to her how you feel. Don't fight what you feel and don't try to be macho. If she feels the same way about you, then let the fireworks come out!!

larry2themind agony auntHi, iv been in a situation like this, where a guy realy liked me, He eventually told me, whereapon we went out for 3 months, but i felt to guilty when i wanted to break up with him because he was my best friend, but we went ahead with the relationship and it ended after a few months because we decided we didn't wana ruin our relationship

I still talk 2 the guy and we are still best friends, but im advising you listen to your heart and maybe you should tell her, to see how she reacts

Good luck
