Best friends

Ok so I will give a little backstory before I ask my question because it helps explain it all. So about 6 years ago I met this girl. And I really liked her but being the shy kid I was I would never ask her out. We became really good friends and have been...

since. Well come to find out the whole time she liked me as well but I had waited to long and shes gone on to have her relationships and I have had mine. After a while we drifted apart but have reconnected a few months ago. At first I thought it was just because we were hanging out again is why I liked her but the feelings never faded. Then another friend had asked me if I did like my best friend and it really got me thinking that it is true and I do. This is where my problem lies. She is a believer that if she dates good friends something will go wrong and it will ruin a friendship. Yet many of her close friends says she has feelings for me but shes to scared to openly admit it just incase it dosnt work out. Our friends say based on how we act it would never come to ruining a friendship if I tried talking to her about it. But they have thought we would make a good couple forever, but I guess im loooking for a outsiders opinion. I really care about this girl and I dont want things to go weird between us if I tell her how I feel. But it hurts to keep the emotions to myself. I have told 2 people and thats her because who is also one of her best friends and a good friend of mine. And another girl who has been a best friend to both of us forever now. If any of this dosnt make since just message me and il try to clear it up. And thanks a lot in advance for any help

well if you guys do end up going out theres always going to something awkward if you do break up but in life you have to take a lot of chances and sometimes they work out great and sometimes they backfire but life is take risks so what I would do is try to go out with her and if it works out then you feel great but if it dosent you might be sad but then you would have no regets. dont be pushy tho just kind of throw it out there and let her decide as for the whole friend thing...if you are good enough friends with her then you should be able to bulid a new freindship if you do end up breaking up.
good luck,

Awww you just gotta sweet talk her a little bit! Tell her that you have had feelings for her for a very long time and that you really want to see what could happen between the two of you! Tell her that you just want to move slow and have fun and treat her how she deserves to be treated by a guy. Tell her that you heard she likes you too and that youll never know if you dont give it a try! and then tell her that if it ends up not working out, youll always be her friend... you can even pinky promise her Good luck!!!

go slow wit your steps..
make lil hints that you like her more than a friend
and if she like you like you do then she will go along wit it...
