I've always been shy, about everything. And now it's high school. There's this girl that I reall, really, really like. We are incredibly close friends...in fact, I'd ventrue to say we're best friends. I suppose that's where my problem comes in. I fell like in today's society, I CAN'T jsut be friends. I feel immense pressure to ask her out...but I can't. I don't want to ruin our friendship over somethign petty. But...I don't think I can hold out on the pressure for much longer. Any advice?

Anyway, just do what I do, give the source of the pressure the bird and say 'screw you'. Yeah, I slipped myself, but in all honesty, I have 2 personalities, it doesn't count.
Whenever you feel that pressure, think about how wonderful it is just being friends and ask yourself what possible future you guys have. Try to imagine you two being boyfriend/girlfriend and imagine what it would be like. Do you really want that? My girl at least plays D&D and watched anime (and Doctor Who), but you need to ask what exactly her qualities are that you'd want in a girlfriend. If that list is short or non-existant...
So whenever you feel the pressure, just remember what Logic-Man would do to you if you asked her out based on imaginary pressure. [ Logic-Man's advice column | Ask Logic-Man A Question ]
