Help needed in this sad lonely boys life

[will10000]

There's this girl I really like who comes and plays football (or soccer for those of you reading this from the US) with me and my mates and the more time I spend with her the more I like her, if you get what I mean.

She likes me as a friend because she always laughs at my jokes and stuff and is really nice and friendly with me but I dont know if she likes me in the way I like her, and I know the best thing to do is to just ask her out but I cant just go up to her and ask her because it would be a bit weird and if she says no it could ruin our friendship.

And if she does say no there will always be a tension between us and I really dont want that because we have a really good friendship.

Thanks for reading because I've never told anyone about how I feel about her and I feel much better now Ive let it all out.

So what should I do?

there wont always be tension between the relationship if you ask her.
ask her if she wants to come to your place and hangout with just you. or ask her for her phone number/email address.

try spending time with just her.... you never know it might just happen naturally....

yea, like the 2 said...spend more time w/ her, alone, go to the park and play some 1 on 1 of basketball or w/e u want to...cant really do that in football, but then u guys might get closer and closer...and closer and soon enough u will be able to c how she feels about her. If u still cant c after a while tell her how u feel about her b4 its too late...i did the same and it looks hard but trust me once u do it, it feels so much better. But a good base and friendship really needs to b made well in order to have a strong long term relationship. so keep that in mind. dont rush things also.
