Does she like me?

Ok, I've known this person for a long, long time, and we've become best friends over that time (this is about 9 years, we've pretty much grown up together). Trouble is, recently I've fallen for her. We usually end up flirting quite a lot, but I can never actually tell if she likes me in that way or not. She doesn't know I do, and I don't want to end up telling her, finding out she doesn't feel the same way, and things get awkward (it's happened with one other friend, we're not friends anymore...). Is there any way this can be sorted out?

hey man. just tell her how u feel about her, its not going to kill you, and if you guy have bin best friends for 9 years i mean 9 year that a long time somthing like this wont break your friend ship. and if it dose well somthing like that , you guy didn thave that close of a friends shit you get wat im getting at.

i hope i helped you and goodluck
