so i met this girl at the beginning of summer through a friend. were goin to the same college next year and have hung out a lot over the summer. we leave next week and im head over heals for this girl or wutever its called. idk how to address this problem. i want to tell her how i feel about her but if she doesnt feel the same about me and just wants to remain friends then that will ruin our friendship making it really awkward. wut do u guys think i should do?

#1 Whatever you do, do not confess your heart to her in a big awkward speech.

 

#2 Ask her out on a date. Make it clear its a date. Flirt with her incessantly. See how she responds.

 

Yes it could certainly destroy your friendship, but then you will never find something great without risking something for it.

haha, ok definetely wont do #1, ya the date sounds cool, we really havent been all alone by ourselves besides yesterday when she invited me to a lake with her family and we floated in the water by ourselves for a while. i kno wut u mean by finding something great, the only part im worried about is losing her because friend or girfriend, shes still a great person.

well, if you act like a friend, you are going to end up a friend. plain and simple. if that is what you want, don't make any moves. if you want more, step up to the plate. don't take her to a movie. that is so lame for a date. ask her to go get coffee with you. then you can sit and chat one on one.
