<human>: Newbie redditor here. I'm a 20 year-old guy and the girl in question is 19. We both go to the same college; the two of us met last winter through a mutual friend, and we seem to get along really well. I'm also perfectly aware that I can be (and probably am) in the friendzone right now, but I still want to tell her how I feel, as pretty much every other time I've liked a girl, I would stay quiet about it and it went nowhere. I don't want to ask myself "What if?" again with this one either.

Since I never actually told a girl how I felt before, I was wondering how I would even go about it. I was thinking of saying it this weekend on Friday or Saturday if I can get her to go to dinner with me. Maybe if we go to her place after we eat, or something along those lines. And from past conversation she seems to think of me as a close friend (which is why I know I'm probably friendzoned), so I don't want to handle this badly.

How can I tell her that I want to have a relationship with her?

<bot>: Never told a girl how I felt before, and I want to know how I should do it, even though she'll probably just want to be friends.
