Asking a good friend out

[Vegito]

I am male, I believe I'm straight, maybe a bit curious, but I believe straight. I am good friends with this girl that I have known since we were about 4, maybe younger. We are currently both 13, almost 14. We dont go to the same school, but we have known each other forever, and we train toghether at our karate school. We also live only like 1/2 a block away, and carpool to camp together. I really like her, but I am not sure if she likes me. We have a good friendship with each other, and I am very afraid that she will say no, and that might ruin or end our friendship, which would be horrable. She is quite pretty, even hot, but I am not exactly sure of the correct term for her. I, on the other hand, am a bit overweight, not much, and have a little bit of acne. I want to ask her out eventually, but when is the right time? Should I wait untill we are both in Highschool, or untill I have resolved my minor weight issue, and minor acne issue? Even if I do resolve both of those issues, how should I ask her out?

If you can, please help me!

also, not to be paranoid or anything, but I am... so I'll ask anyways.

Should I maybe just wait untill ALOT later like a few years? Not to be a downer or upset anyone but childhood relationships ususally break up, and I dont wish to break up with her, nor would any of you with your crush, or date, but still! Then on the otherhand, if i wait too long, she might be dating someone else!!!

Sorry for multi posting, but decided I had more to ask/say... again, please help!

Come to think of it, I dont know if she is straight, nor do i know if she is already dating... how do i find out?

I understand how u feel excatly. the changing yourself part, I did that, I lost ALOT of weight, and wore make up, and dyed my hair, But the person i was in love with treated me the same, because looks arnt everything. If you have a killer personality, thats all that matters, and if shes not shallow, then again, it doesnt matter! Now unfortunatly, Theres the problem of being together. like u said, ur young, its un likely to last and get married and all. But waiting, u may have known her for years and years, but who knows if u will when ur older, I think u should just drop a few hints to her, flirt and if she shows signs of liking you back, take a chance! If you do end uo together, great! if you break up, or she says no, well, do what I do, Its only acward if you make it acward, pretent nothing happend, go back to how you were, act like nothing unsals happend, and if u want to, maybe try again in the future. hope I helped :)xx

To be honest, if she is a long time friend, then maybe waiting until your older would be better. As for the weight/acne, if she is a good girl thats worth the time, then she wont care! Just be yourself, you dont need to change to make other people happy. But again, if it was me, I would wait a while. You are young, and you wouldnt want to mess up your chance with a long time friend

I thank you both greatly, and whoever else posts, to tell you the truth, I would like to lose some weight, but then I think I will wait untill we are at least in highschool, maybe college. On the other hand, I dont want to be the only guy in highschool or to prom without a date, so how long do you think I should wait?
