Me and this girl have been friends for quite awhile but now to the point where we're talking every single day and A LOT. I am totally falling for her and I want to ask her to be my girlfriend. How should I ask her? Please be specific, like how to start the conversation and stuff!!!
Like should I just straight up tell her?
Should I ask her if she likes me, and if she says yes then profess my feelings?
Please help! And PS, even if she doesn't like me back, I would like to still be friends with her, so is there a way to ensure that?
As far as what to do if she doesn't like you, just don't make things awkward; don't make a huge deal about it. Just tell her something like, "It's fine that you don't feel the same way, and I want to be friends. I don't want this to get in the way of the friendship we have, because I really value it."

What I would like to add is that you don't want to scare the girl by saying how much you like her. If you go on and tell her how in love you are with her and stuff she's going to feel like it came out of nowhere. It will seem stalkerish. Just let her know that you like her and are interested. If you said too much she's likely to wonder if she could ever return such a "big love". [ Professor_Kaos's advice column | Ask Professor_Kaos A Question ]

"Hey [name]. Can we talk?"
"Yeah, sure.."
"Don't worry, it's nothing bad. It's actually really good. Well, lately, I've been feeling like we've been getting closer, and I've really loved it. And, the truth is, I think I really really like you..."
"[Hopefully her response is the same]"
"Well, so then what would you say if I asked you out?" [or something other than "Will you go out with me?"]
I think you should straight up tell her. That's the best.
