Hey,
So here's my situation:
There's this girl that I really like. We have been friends for a very long time, and last summer we started dating. But after like a month she broke up with me, and said we could maybe try again when school started. About a month into this school year, I asked if she wanted to get back together, and she said no. Since then we have remained friends, but I'm really upset about this. I really like her, she's one of the only girls I've genuinely liked. We hang out a lot, and talk a lot, but that's just making me even more upset. I have no idea what to do. I've been losing sleep over this, and I need some advise.
Another thing, she is going through depression and she self harms. She doesn't know that I know this and I really want to do something to help her. She doesn't think anyone likes her, and she thinks she's ugly, but I think she's beautiful and I really really like her. I don't know how to tell her this, and I don't know if I should try to talk to her about her self harm and such.
Any advise on what to do and what to say would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Ok, hey man,

So, I would be open to her about how you feel(preferably do it somewhere not public) and see how she feels. If she says she doesn't have feelings for you or doesn't want to go out then forget about it, just stay friends. With helping her, it could either go 2 ways, one is that she accepts your help or two, you complete screw it over. I would possibly wait until she asks for help before you attempt anything and just build a friendship where she trusts you enough to tell you herself. Helping someone that is depressed and self-harms can be a lot of work if you arn't ready for it.

When it comes to self harm, most are just looking for someone supportive in general. I would say to her that you are there for her if she need to talk about anything. If she does not know that you know, then it is probably best not to bring it up. Leave that up to her. Outside of that you could be wooing her by hanging out a lot and talking a lot with her. So don't get too frustrated or impatient. Give it time.

Yes. Show her that you are there for her, but don't rush in quickly.
