I mentioned earlier that i was writing an awful love letter and here it is
I am writing this letter to you because I don’t feel that I can tell you what I have to tell you in any other way. This is so hard.
For the longest time I have had feeling for you like I have never had for anyone else. You are the most beautiful and amazing person that I’ve ever met and it feels like, that with your support and encouragement, I could do anything I wanted. I feel so nervous whenever I’m around you, but at the same time it makes me happy to see you and to talk to you. If I had any experience in the matter I might say I was in love with you, but I really don’t feel as if I know you well enough to really be in love with you. It’s all so confusing.
I don’t know what good it will do to tell you all this, in fact I rather suspect it will just cause an awkward situation between us, but if there’s even the remotest chance that you could ever feel the same way about me, then I can’t just let it go.
It feels so impersonal to be typing this, I wanted to handwrite it, but I felt it was more important that you actually be able to read what I’ve written. I’m sorry if this all just seems a bit weird but if I don’t say it now, I probably never will, and I don’t want that. I know that knowing this may change our relationship, but I hope that we can still be friends, if nothing else. This is such a terrible jumble of words; I just hope you can pick out what I’m trying to say, and try to understand it. I really am sorry if this is all just too inappropriate or out of line, but I couldn’t go on leaving it unsaid any more.

It is astonishing
how long it took me to figure out that simple solution.
C'est la vie.

The sequel:
He went out with her for about a year, during which I sulked horribly. I was fortunate enough (maybe as some cruel side effect of not caring?) to drunkenly pull a few random other women, one of whom it actually turned out I really, really liked. However I was too overshadowed by self-indulgent grief over the events of the animation to notice and treated her really badly and ended up losing her too.

If anyone really wants my advice on such matters, I recommend a visit to the vet.

Look...
...I'm not expert on this, but actually asking her out for a drink or something works better than a letter.

To be 100% honest with you, ladies tend to see letters as being a little sappy and spineless. It takes guts to ask someone out face-to-face and that, if nothing else, will be appreciated.

that was a good thing for you to have done, get some of the tension out of your system. I'm sure a great many people here know just how it feels to be in your situation; most of the proper advice has been to try and settle with your feelings and be comfortable with your emotions and that's precisely the right thing to do. The way forward after that is up to you ... you'll know by then whether you should write, talk, ask her out for meal/drink/movie or whatever else. I hope things work out alright for you, I really do. Remember though, don't stew and bottle yourself up ... you have to act at some time or you may spend years wondering what might have been, if only... got it?

man, you can do it
I fell for my very best friend... we'd known each other for 12 years before anythign "happened" and now we've been together for over 3 years.

It's hard to go in all guns a-blazing and it' probably be the wrong thing to do... if you can arrange a few ocassions where you're out together, just chatting and being mates like you already are then you'll grow closer together anyway, maybe talk about some more personal issues as things develop and eventually discuss your feelings for each other. try not to overload the poor lass or you might jeopardise your frinedship altogether, which would be bad joo-joo.

Nice reply
Hopefully this post isn't off the board yet as I want to stick my oar in...

I was about 18 I think when I first asked someone out. I thought she was a goddess in human form (still do to a certain extent).

I didn't write a her a letter telling her how I felt, and I certainly wouldn't have typed it.

I think most people have already said the obvious - talk to her, ask her out for a drink, coffee / beer / whatever.

If you're friends already then she should be more than happy. Then see how it goes, flirt a bit and try to get up the courage to tell her how you feel.

If you don't feel you should be telling her how you feel, at least try to get her to agree to another "date" soon and take it from there.

If you're friends you've already got the best basis in the world for a good relationship, don't mess it up by sending a quite scary typed letter.

That all said, we all learn from our mistakes and if you do this and it does backfire, that's the best teacher.

right i have just noticed that you are nearly 20
love notes are now inexcusable
just talk to her when you start bumbling like a fool she will get the picture and if she is more mature than you will generally take over and make it allright one way or the other.

But do talk to her, and dont be pissed when you do. If dave the hat can get married i'm damn sure you can ask someone out

All that fancy letter writing will get you diddly squat.
Your best bet is to be somewhere she's going to be, preferably a place with alcohol.
Wander on over to her and just start up a conversation. The more drunk she is the more honest a response you'll get. And screw all that "let's be friends" crap, if she doesn't like you she isn't worth the time of day. (The last bit may sound harsh but I was dumped by the same girl 3 times before I realised she was an evil, manipulative bitch)

That, my friend is a work of beauty, if she doesn't melt while reading it, check for a pulse, for the harpy will have no heart.

Mind you, I cry at anything (damn x chromsomes)

Tell her you fancy someone else
