there's this girl Please help

i feel i am to shy to ask a certain somebody out we are fairly good friends, alythough i do act quite shy around her what should i do, how should ia approach her, i feel that there is alot at stake

yo dude if your friends you should just ask her to a homecoming dace or something as friends. if you have a good time and she does too then just ask her .if she says that she just wants to be friends then accept it and say its ok that you 2 only wanna be friends. you dont have to worry to much about losing her as a friend.if she is a true friend she will like you no matter what. and by the way i'm a guy the name monica is my girlfriends name.
