Don't really feel like reading all that.. but IMO, Think about weather its worth jepordizing your friendship over. I mean you have her as a friend now... but if you said something to her about liking her, your taking a chance at several reactions. One being that she only sees you as a friend and then its hard for her to hang out anymore knowing that you like her or things just get weird... or you could get the yeah, lets date and see what happens answer. If I was in that situation and I knew that I was definately going to say something to the other person.. I would go into it knowing that it's possible that I could loose a friend in the process.. So just make sure you look at all the pros and cons very carefully and thuroghly before you rush into something that you dont know if you are going to regret or be glad you acted on it... Good luck in whatever happens Charlie, I hope it works out in your favor!
