Can i ask the girls on hear for some pointer?

Ok so here is my situation: There is a girl i really like who i have know for a long time (since bout 4th grade i think) but only really became close friends the last 2-4 years. Back in 8th grade she dated on of my best friends and they broke up. I talk to her on a somewhat regular basis, and we hang with a similar group of friends. We are both and our senior year and will be heading to college next year and I am planing to move a ways away for college. She is the type of girl who is a bit dorky in a bit of a cute way. she rides horses all the time. She loves country music just like me. I have no idea what she thinks of me or what i should do. can anyone give me advice? if you think you need more info on the situation just ask.

Think about the pros and the cons of the situation. Would you ruin your relationship with her as it is by just asking her? Don't be creepy and beat around the bush using hints that she could take wrong. Just ask her, at an offhand moment, when you can't be mistaken for joking. Don't make the situation vulnerable if it's a memorable place like someone's birthday party. Just... be brave, I guess? I don't know how this would hurt you or anything, because some of us just don't get hurt when they deal with these conundrums, while others do.

well i have ruined one friendship in the past by asking a girl out that i liked... so i guess that is why i am still unsure of what to do. i guess the main thing going through my mind is that we both will be heading off to college in only like 10 months

i agree with Kyetge just tell the truth u can do it in a cute way or give her something she likes it wouldnt hurt to try

this sounds elementry school but in ur case to see her feelings it might be best to ask a friend to ask her, tell them to say there just curious like "hey you and animecountryboy spend alot of time together, do u liiiike hiiiim?" u r in quite a pickle and this is all i can think of XP srry and best of luck! i hope it works out!
