She has never given me the impression that she wants to be more than friends but she is single currently. We are also now housemates too. My problem is that I do not want to risk ruining our friendship by telling her my feelings when I am not sure she feels the same way. But at the same time I really like her and I would love to be with her. What should I do? Reply to this Question Share |

Then tell her how much you value the friendship and want to stay friends. It's much better to know the truth then spend your whole life wondering "what if."

You might be in the friend zone here, which will be a shame. I was there once myself, tried asking the girl out and she said no. It didn't ruin our friendship, because I said to her I would still like to be friends. but we did become more distant. However, since then, I've found a far better lady. The point is, sometimes you have to take a chance. If it works, that's great, if it doesn't, then you have be brave and move on. You will never know how she feels if you don't talk her, and you'll always regret never saying anything. If it doens't work out, then she's not the one for you, which means the one you're looking for is still out there. Take a chance.
