Am I absolutely crazy?

[Lostboyfromneverland]

Not sure if this is in the right section, but, here we go....
Alright. So, I...like a girl. I've known her for about Two years now and we've become real great friends. When I'm around her, I don't feel like I need to please or retract or edit myself to make her like me, I feel...comfortable with her. Absolutely free. Anyways, she's always kinda been my wingwoman and I never thought about her like anything other than a friend, and then, suddenly I wanted to kiss her. One moment she's helping me get over this girl who said I looked like Neil Patrick Harris' ugly brother, the next, she's this bathing beauty. And, I know, some people may say, "Why don't you just be friends with her? There's always another." I realized that. But I don't think I can endure it any longer. The touching. Oh lord, the touching. We're really close, so now every hug, every friendly punch, or poke, or cuddle is enough to put me to sleep. Another thing you might say is, "Don't be a whimp, just ask her out!" And I would. Trust me. I'm not usually shy or awkward, or have difficult talking to people. But there's one small problem....I'm 16 and she's.....19. Before you go off telling me to give up, I'll tell you that I'm the most mature, well adjusted 16 years old you'll ever meet. I have a job, a car, money saved up for college,but I can be fun too. And it doesn't hurt that she's a little less mature then people her age. Anyways, I really like her, and I wanted to get some advice on whether or not it's just stupid or if I should give it a shot. One thing that I might add is, she'll be moving to Virginia for college in a couple months, so it's now or never. Whatcha think? Crazy, idiotic, or a great idea? Thanks bunches.

Bring it up in a jokey way. "So um.....you wanna make out?", then giggle. If she laughs, she's probably only interested in being friends. Otherwise you might have a shot. Don't push it.

But whatever move you make, you do run the risk of ruining the friendship. That's something to keep in mind.

Dude! I think you are in love and that too with the right girl. Just go for it, propose to her.

I think you should follow,your instincts, and enjoy the few months you have together, so go for it

I saw go for it. I lost my V-card to a 16 year old when I was 13 soooo I obvi don't have a problem with the girls being a little older lol

Honestly...don't worry about the age difference cause in 2 years it's not even gunna matter. You just have to realize that the odds are probably stacked against you pretty bad. If she's was staying in town for school you'd have a way better shot, especially cause you're so mature but if she's moving....yeahhh sorry bro.
But just her being in college and being generally more free than you schedule wise would be one of the biggest obstacles after distance. Like your life schedule is going to be dictated by school for the next two years and that's hard to deal with. But if I was you I would still give it a shot. I would just prepare myself that the answer would more than likely be no and be prepared to accept that. You could even tell her you realize it's a crazy idea cause she's leaving and that you'd be ok with just a summer but that you have to be with her even for just that short amount of time. Summer romance is a bitch and it's gunna hurt in the end but it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all right?

If she says no though...this isn't one of those situations where you keep trying to convince her. That would damage your friendship which you def don't want. Just accept it and maybe try to hold onto those feelings until you graduate.

Or get drunk off your ass and then make out. Shouldn't be too hard. (Usually requires 2 people drunk)

On a more serious note Lostboyfromneverland

Forcing something will usually end up bad, if not always. If you think she is interested in you, go for it. You'll only know for sure by asking her. Age shouldn't matter too much here if you are both on the same level of maturity.

If she is moving and you wanna go for it then you should. Don't delay untill it's too late. You'll only regret not having asked her.
