Advice on how to tell a friend you want to be more than just friends...?

Hey guys, got a question for you. I have known and been friends with this girl for about 5 years. We have hung out many times, dinner, movies, plays, etc. and after moving away from home, both to the same area, we have still kept in touch and hung out. How do I tell her that I want more than just a friendship without damaging that friendship?

Coming from a female, let her know how you feel. If she's been friends with you for this long, then she obviously likes something about you!Advice on how to tell a friend you want to be more than just friends...?
If you feel you have a connection then take her out to a movie or dinner and when the talking gets died down try a kiss and if she backs away say ';I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that'; or say something funny like ';I was just going to ask you if you wanted a coffee!'; and smile in her way, but not directly at her..Oh and please make sure she doesn't already have a boyfriend!
That isn't going to happen. Once you become lovers there is no going back. So kiss her. Then tell her that you have not been hanging around for 5 years for her cooking.





Well not only for her cooking.
Tell her that you are starting to like her and let her know that you don't expect her to feel the same way. that way she won't feeel like she has to like you back and will give her the chance to say how she truly feels. And if she doesn't then that sux but tell her that its ok for you to be just friends since she doesnt feel the same way. good luck.
Ask yourself 'why'. Why do you want a relationship with this girl? Is is because she's that cool or is it because she's the only female that pays attention to you? I'm not trying to be mean, but to risk destroying a friendship over something as trivial as a relationship.....c'mon.
