Don't know what to do...

[smff]

So, there's this girl that I like. We've been close friends for about a year and a half now, just in the past month or two I've really started to like her and I think she might like me too.

She broke up with her boyfriend a little under two months ago, and that's part of the problem; I don't know if she's over it or not.

Another thing is that I really don't want to lose her as a friend. I know the relationship probably wouldn't last forever, and it'd probably be awkward after it ended. So I've been thinking that maybe we should just stay friends, but I know that if she started going out with someone else I'd be really upset and I'd regret not doing anything about it if I didn't.

I know I should probably wait, but I don't know how long for. Any advice/tips?

If your close like you said just tell her or ask her the question you have asked here but say it's for a friend and see how she'll react

I would suggest you drop a few hints, and see how she reacts. If you think she is reacting well, then you could maybe think about making a move. Most importantly, remember that communication is one of the most important parts of any relationship, so speak to her, and find out what she is feeling, as working together to solve a problem is much more productive than wondering what the issue is, or what the other is thinking.
Also, don't limit your friendship with each other just because you are romantically involved; you can still value friendship while loving each other, and if the relationship doesn't work out, and you communicate well share your feelings, then you will still have platonic friendship to come back to. Good luck.
