Do I just go for it?

[smff]

So recently I've really started to like my best girl friend. I'm pretty sure she likes me too and a few people have been telling me to ask her out.

I was talking to my older brother about it today and he was telling me that I should text her and tell her that I have feelings for her right now. He was saying that it's better to do it over text because girls tend to open up more when texting. (If i actually asked her out I'd do it in person, just btw)

We obviously aren't going to last forever since we're young, but I think it might be worth it. I know that I would regret it if I didn't do anything, and if she got together with someone else I don't know what I'd do to myself.

Should I just go for it?

Why not? Except I'd advise doing it in person. Someone confessed to me over text and it made things uncomfortable for a while. Doing the scarier thing - confessing in person - is doing a courtesy to the person you're confessing to. They get to see you completely, and you get to see them. Even if the person doesn't say as much in person, you still see their emotional or physical reaction as well as their tone and body language, which is a really important thing that you lose over text - especially for a conversation as vulnerable as this.

(I also confessed to someone I liked in person, and they later thanked me for doing so instead of doing it over text).

Don't do it over text, it maybe more embarrassing but doing it in person is x10 more genuine. People think about it more and are impacted a lot more when they have to respond and be with the person that asked them out in person. Besides getting over the nervous bugs there isn't a reason to not give it a go, never asking leads to months of regret. I wish you good luck in asking :yes:

That's such a lovely story nevertheless. Confessing to feelings is always something scary and there's always the whole, butterflies and nerves kicking in however, it's so worth it. She'll really see that you do have true feelings for her as you've had the courage to do it in person. I think as a girl myself, I'd be more appreciative with someone saying it to my face. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

i think you should tell her how you feel and it all depends if you both talk more over text then tell her that way but if you see her in person alot the that would be the best way to go

I think you should go for it too. Even if she says no, I'd rather be the guy who tried than the guy who always wished he had done something and wondered what would have happened. Like others have said, I advise doing it in person. It shows a lot of confidence and reflects well on yourself. Girls, or anyone really, respect having the confidence to ask somebody out or tell them what you are planning on doing in person.
