<human>: So dig this reddit, there's this girl I dig who goes to my college. We've been friends for about a year and half thereabouts, and I got a full on crush on her. The only thing is, I really can't tell is she's crushin' on me. Here's the deets:

We hang out pretty frequently, although I am the one who usually initiates the conversation / plans to meet up.  she always says yes if she's got no plans. I see her about 2 or 3 times out of the week, and sometimes to hang out at length on weekends. We both laugh, and talk and tell stories and it's great. This has been going on for about a month and half

And here is some backstory: I somewhat recently got out of a relationship a few months ago, that wasn't really happening and that I wasn't really satisfied with. I have known this 'new' girl as long as I had had my previous girlfriend. So there is that "platonic friendship" establishment.

And here's the touchy part: I've never asked her on a real date for a few reasons: 1. If I get turned down, I'm VERY afraid of mucking a perfectly good friendship up. 2. It would hurt even more if she was more interested in another dude (although to my knowledge I think she spends most of her free time with me out of her other friends). 3. She sees something that I don't (in other words, that she doesn't think the relationship would work, and also doesn't want to muck up a perfectly good friendship).

So I wonder if I should stop initiating things and wait for her to contact me. But if she doesn't would that mean it isn't meant to be? I don't want it to be that way! Damn. I don't wanna force nothing either!

It's pretty complicated for me. Right now she's probly having a grand ol time watching game of thrones or whoever, while I'm here kickin rocks down the street. Any experience in this field would be greatly appreciated.

PEACE
