Hmm...

There is this girl that I really like. We are good friends and we talk all the time. I just don't know how to ask her if she wants to date me. Any advice?

Maybe bring it up slowly, in casual conversation. Sense you two are close friends, it may be difficult, considering the entire time shes known you, she has thought of you only as a friend(That is, if she hasn't liked you before. I could be wrong, it's just my guess.). Just be really good to her, and maybe bring it up with her when you two are alone, in a private place. Don't just come right out with it, it could make things awkward for her, and likely will intimidate her, which could influence her answer. Just kinda bring it up like maybe a, "Hey.. I've been thinking about us", kind of thing. Not a direct "Will you go out with me?".

Other than that, theres really not much more you can do. Just be really good to her, and if she seems upset ask her if something is bothering her, and if you can do anything to help. But know, it's not an uncommon thing for two people to be stuck in the 'friend zone', even if one greatly loved the other. It is sometimes just unimaginable for a person to see themselves with their close friend, because thats exactly what they are. A close friend.

I guess what I'm saying is, go at it, and go at it strong, just not directly. And remember not to get your hopes up, however anything can happen.

Good luck man, hope it all works out in the end.

Thank you very much. But what if it is, as ackbar says, a trap?

Thank you very much. But what if it is, as ackbar says, a trap?

Then you will have to trust in your friendship and believe that you to will always have each other, at least as friends.

[Iron Man]

Very true.

Well, I hope I helped. And again, good luck.
