Ever since I saw her I knew she was the one. We became great friends straight away and I've fancied her ever since. We kind of went out on a few adates when we were younger but nothing happened cause I was too scared. I've never let another girl take that place but I feel now is the time to ask her because I'm ready, but I'm scared of losing her as a friend. I'm great friends with her best friend too, should I have a private conversation with her about it? I trust her to keep my secret. I've seen this girl go through a number of boyfriends since, and it hurt so much, and I've never asked out a girl, please help me!
