Alright. I know GFY isn't the best place to ask this sort of thing... but I know there is good inside of you, I can feel it! (Luke Skywalker)
Anyways. I have a friend I have known for like 6 years. We grew up together. She was always a trouble kid and I was always there to bail her out of situations.
I've sat by idley as I judged every one of her boyfriends and judged correctly on every one of them. I know her better than her parents do.. or for anyone for that matter.
She just broke up with a guy she was with for a year in October. She's over him... but shes now looking around the market for a new guy.
Now the real kicker comes into play here.
I love this kid.

She's everything I want in the world and I have known it for years. But I have never told her how I felt because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I don't think she has EVER clued in... and I have no idea how she feels about me.
What I do know is if I do tell her how I feel I know we could still remain friends. So I am not worried about that. I am worried about the rejection - I want to spill my heart to her... but will she just go "oh..." and say "sorry kid, we're just friends."
How can I go about this the right way... and tell her how I really feel?
