writes: Alright, I'll get right to the point hereI really like this girl, we are great friends and hang out with my bestfriend and her bestfriend ( kinda double dating ) every weekend. As I write this, she is telling me on msn how she misses love, and wants to find someone. She just broke up with her boyfriend about a week ago, and lets face it, he is an ass. I want to show her some wounds take time, but I also want to jump right in and ask her out.My bestfriend likes her too, but I'm going to ignore that because he will get over it. I tried to kiss her the other day, and I caught myself before I did. I'm terrified of rejection and I know how much she hates Friends with Benefits. So I really need to ask, what in Darwins name should I do?

It's best to express your interest. If she's open to it, offer to take it slow to give her time to get over her last relationship. The longer you wait, the harder it will be.
The question you should ask yourself is: can I stand to see her with someone else? If the answer is no, then go for it.

Several weeks. Probably a month at least. Because you don't want to be the rebound. Remember, if she likes you, no other guy will stand a chance. But give her time, because if you don't you'll be the rebound.

Now- just call her and ask her out... It will do her good and with any luck she'll be ready to get out of the house and have some fun. Put some thought into what you'll do and PLAN something fun.
