No, bohemian is wrong, don't get her drunk. Here's what you do: When you guys are hanging out, just be like "I'm starting to really like you and I don't mean to freak you out." Say things like "I want to know how you would feel about pursuing a relationship or going beyond our friendship." Make sure you say things like "how would you feel..." or else then she might be freaked out or feel pushed into it. Just be calm and serious and look at her eyes and give emotion when talking. Should work like a charm. Bohemian is right about the word love thou, just do like I said, avoid the word love for now.
