During the entire time i've been homeschooled, i haven't seen any of my friends which was at first due to being busy with health-related problems, and eventually was just because of self-esteem issues.I kept in touch with a few close friends online, but never really talked to them other than that. Out of those few friends, one of them is my closest/best friend, who is a girl.Before i switched to homeschooling, we hung out all the time and i would go to her house almost as often as every other day after school. So we were good friends, but it was never really anything more than that. I've known her since 5th grade i guess.. which is like 4 or 5 years then. We've pretty much been close all that time.But now back to the current. As i said, i haven't seen her in over a year, close to a year and a half now i guess, but i still talk to her practically everyday online. A short while ago i felt that i had begun to like her as more than a friend. The subject came up between us a couple times, though i can't really remember how. I do remember that she answered first, telling me that she couldn't really know if she liked me or not since we hadn't seen each other in a while. When she asked if i liked her, i said pretty much the same thing since i wasn't entirely sure and i didn't want to make things awkward between us.Of course i'm not that pathetic, and i wasn't planning on just leaving it at that forever. I got my shit together and tried a couple times making plans with her so we could see each other. Well, more like twice, and she was busy or something both those times so i sort of gave up for a while i guess. Both this weekend and the last i've also attempted to make plans, but she's been busy with schoolwork, though said she'll let me know as soon as an opportunity comes up or whatever.So i guess what i'm asking is whether or not i should just continue waiting, give up, or just tell her how i feel. My reasoning for not just telling her in the first place was basically just that i didn't want to make things awkward or uncomfortable between us the next time we saw eachother, or just in general i guess.Thanks, and i hope this wasn't too long of an explanation/question.

reader, anonymous, writes (15 September 2008): this is a tricky one. I would suggest to keep trying to make plans with her - just say you wanted to pop round etc nothing to special - spend some time with her, and take it from there - dont give up, just keep trying.
Good Luck x
