Need Help : Expressing feelings of Love w/o "I Love You"

I'll try to keep this short and readable and not overwjem everyone with unncessary details.

I have a dilemma, and I'm hoping to find a way to do this correctly by tomorrow night. It's my first NY's resolution. There is a girl who I have been friends with a for a year now. I gather from, from both personal feeling and talking to mutual friends, that I actually have a chance to escape the dreaded friend zone with her.

She is the first person I have ever felt truly in love with. I would like to find a way to express my feelings to her tomorrow night without coming across as too strong or creeping her out. Therefore, I feel like "I love you" could be the wrong way to go about this.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can express my feelings without seeming like an idiot?

Thanks for any advice; I am badly in need of it!

It's NYE, if she seems receptive lay a hot kiss on her at midnight.

haha.. Yeah, and if that doesn't work out, you can always blame it on the booze.

Thanks for the feedback! Assuming I don't have the opportunity, is there anything else I could do or say to get the message across?

Don't talk about your deeper emotions at a party, always a bad idea.

If you can let her know in a fun flirty way, go for it... Otherwise NO.
