Yep. One of the most stereotypical Teen problems, but before you answer it with the same old answer that everyone gives just please think about it for a second from MY point of view:I like this girl. Well OK its obviously more than like. I'm in love with her. And here comes the same problem everyone has. I'm not afraid to tell her persay, its the fact that lets say I DO tell her, but she doesn't feel the same way. I'm not afraid of rejection, I just don't want it to ruin our friendship. It would be really awkward to hang out with her after the whole ordeal because whenever we would hang out she'd have the thought in the back of her head that I love her and that she turned me down and vice versa. I've heard the, "Just go for it dude, its all good" garbage way too many times, so please post useful answers. Thanks alot.

You've heard this one before
-
Well you have two optionsTell her, or dont. Risk making the friendship awkward, or keep how you feel about her to yourself. What other sort of advice are you looking for?
-
im still friends with a girl I've asked out twice and beleive me all the akwardness disapears after a while.
-
I would give you two pieces of advice.First of all, if you approach her with this and she's not interested in anything beyond the friendship, LET IT GO IMMEDIATELY! If you drag it out and beg and plead, you'll kill the friendship.Secondly, if you are both committed to the friendship, it can survive your sharing your feelings and her not reciprocating. It may be awkward for a week or two, and you certainly have a right to be disappointed, but if you are committed to the friendship you can make it okay again.I've been there. It sucks, but she's still one of my closest friends.

You don't have to tell her that you're flat out in love with her, just that you are interested.
-
hey man ive been through this many times pretty much every guy has just first off talk to her bout how you feel and if she wants to be JUST FRIENDS let it go as that because if you keep buggin her bout it nothing will happen at ALL so best luck mate...shane

Hey, i was in same position as you. I liked this girl who i was freinds with. I said hey, This poll said to ask your freind "what would you say to me if i told you i was interested in me"She laughed and replyed "Well depends if you actually did like me. If so yes." Soo i asked her out we were together for 2 months and then broke up. freind seva since then. We even laugh about it from time to time. So you can use my way or create ur own. Its ur choice.

Do what most people do in my school. Either:1) Get a close (female) friend to find out if she likes you without actually giving away that you like her.OR2) Do it all by text, that why is she says no at least it wasn't to your face.
-
the first one is a bad idea girls always talk.
-
The second one is stupid and cowardly. I would say no just because it was over text.
-
Yeah. Dammit I fear for my generations romantic idealism. Doing anything serious over txt is horrible. I mean anyone can write a damned txt.
-
yeah,text is two 5th grade. it would kinda seem like u were scared to rly ask her face to face. if u DO REALY LIKE HER ask her just dont drag it on. u could even ask who she likes instead of just saying straight out if she likes u.........

I had a problem like dis... i liked dis chick but somehow every1 found i b4 i could ask her out... she kinda rejected me but were great friends now so i guess everythin worked out 4 da best...
