Hey everyone, got a little situation I need your advice on. Where to begin...
Well about 8 months ago I met this girl in an class. Well a while after i'd met her, I developed what I thought would be just another passing crush. I didn't make a move on her, seeing as she was involved at the time. About a month after meeting her, and her still being involved with someone I figured that the best thing to do would be to just move on and date other people as I had been before. The problem is, that in every relationship that I had for the next few months I would always find myself thinking about her, even when I was with other people I would date. Hell I can remember once, I even accidently called somone else I was dating by her name
That was a day I won't soon forget. So it became apparent that this wasn't a crush that I was going to just get over so quickly. Well, she isn't dating anyone currently so normally I would just ask her out. But there is a problem. She is one of my best friends. I'm not sure that I wanna risk out friendship over this. I know from experience, that I may have been unintentionally akward around people I know had crushes around me, and it would kill me to have her distance herself from me. I need to know what you would do in my situation. Do you think its worth telling her how I feel, knowing that I might be messing up a great friendship? Any help or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
