K3587 answered Thursday September 16 2004, 7:57 pm: If you truly are friends, then presenting "the question" couldn't hurt your relationship. If she turns you down it's not like she'll suddenly decide that's all you wanted and then stay away from you. If you've been getting along great for 10 years then you would make a great couple...there would be no awkward surprises. You already know everything about her. Take this scenario with a new date:
You: "I got us a table reserved at the BBQ place."
Her: "I'm vegetarian."
You: "DAMN IT" *runs off crying*
See? That wouldn't happen.
Even if you do break up after a while, there is not much of a chance you'll stay away from each other. You would most likely realize "this isn't working" and just go back to the way you are now.

Do a little snooping, ask around, see if she likes you back. If not, don't tell anyone you like her, cause if she finds out, than it'll be very uncomfortable.
Is she flirty with you? If so, then maybe she does feel the same. All's you need to do is ask around.
TheGovernor answered Thursday September 16 2004, 7:29 pm: If you have a 10 eyar strong friendship then asking her to move it up a level can't hurt. I mean, 10 years is a long time. There has to be a lot of trust there. Asking her a simple question won't ruin your friendship. If she says she does want to go out with you, great. If she doesn't, no biggie. She will still be your friend. [ TheGovernor's advice column | Ask TheGovernor A Question ]
