Ok I'll shorten this as much as possible. Ok so there is a girl I'm into, let's call her Susie. Susie and I met about 4 months ago and she quickly became my best friend over night. We went on a trip together out of the country and spent about 10 days together... day and night. I really like her and she means the world to me. Now when I met her she had a boyfriend and shortly after they broke up and she has stayed single. I'm 17 and she is 18 by the way. I'm a junior and she is a senior and she is moving out of state to go to college. Everyone has told me she likes me and we would be perfect together but the problem is that in 3-4 months she will be many miles away and I am stuck here. I can't decide what to do, should I go for it and ask her out sometime or just stay friends? This girl means the WORLD to me and I do not want to lose her for anything. I feel like if we did start something it would be awkward since we will be so far apart and I don't want it to hurt the friendship we have right now. Then again on the other hand there is the question that could be haunting me saying "What if?" I really don't know what I should do and any advice would be appreciated....

Truth answered Saturday April 18 2009, 3:18 pm: My judgment tells me the fact that you love her and she means the world to you supremely OVERRULES the fact that you don't want to hurt the friendship right now. If you PURELY and TRUELY love her (which I believe you do since I can almost perfectly feel your emotions in the letter), express it as soon as you can before it is too late. It is as simple as that. You are thinking it might hurt your friendship, well, let it hurt. Imagine you don't express yourself to her in order to remain her friend and she gets involved with someone else and she commits herself for a long term relationship with him. I think staying her friend at that time would perhaps be even more painful. There is still 3-4 months left (90-120 days!), that is a LONG time. In this time (given that you have expressed your feelings to her and she has accepted you) you can convert your love relationship to one that will last forever if indeed you BOTH become COMITTED to each other. If she does not accept, go ahead with life. You are such a young man. There are certainly a lot of girls waiting for you around the corner and choose the RIGHT one. May God bless you with someone (it could be she or someone else as well) who will SINCERELY love you and be with you for the rest of your life. [ Truth's advice column | Ask Truth A Question ]

you sound like you really like her and would do anything for her, i can tell you would treat her right, shes very lucky and you should tell her!
just remember and state that if things dont work out then you want to remain best friends and you dont want to lose her
