Instead of asking a forum (probably full of other people in the same pit as you) build up courage. Don't just stand and watch because the pain will last forever (from expirience). The girl is a friend then you should know her more. Know her past and who she really is instead of going head on into battle. I assume girls don't like very intimate guys (help me out here any female floodian if you're even here)
It is not up to [b][i][u]Anybody[/u][/i][/b] to choose your path and tell you how to do this and that. However true advice such as "go get 'em tiger" or "What do you truly feel." is advice in my case.
When you layout instructions they don't know what they want anymore. I know the first paragraph has some of those problems but it true that you can't really ask someone out without knowing them.

No, do you not live in modern society? Girls are not attracted to people that come off as genuinely interested in them, girls are attracted to people that they are interested in. Most of them are shallow. If you feel as though that you must be in a relationship, you must assert this or it will not happen
