If a woman shows an interest in a guy, he has a very short window of opportunity to take some positive action. If he leaves her hanging for very long, she will feel humiliated, by having revealed herself and then not having it returned. Women seem to be able to play games with guys and get away with it, but guys don't have the same privilege. If a guy is successful in getting a woman to go out with him, he absolutely has to at least try to kiss her and maybe a little more, the first time or she'll think there's something wrong with him. If a woman wanted to go out another time with a guy who had made no moves the first time, she would have to really like him, but that doesn't work out very often.
well, we're supposed to get together tomorrow after work, so i'm warming up my arm for the hail mary.
i feel like i need to offer some explanation as to why i was tentative, and that i can't just suddenly come out now and say i have feelings for her. i'm generally very guarded and slow to let people get close. and it's been a long time since my last relationship, so i was feeling overly cautious. then time flew by and here we are..
my gut tells me to be honest and then hope she's understanding. my gut also tells me that regardless, this is likely done.
I learned pretty early on that waiting around usually is not in your best interest, you need to make your intentions known at the outset or more than likely you'll be left in the dust. I almost always go for a kiss on the first date (unless of course there is no attraction on my part). Sometimes they were met enthusiastically, sometimes not. At least I knew right away whether to proceed or not.

"I would like us to be more than just friends" shouldn't be particularly difficult to manage. No long explanation needed.
that first part is easy, yea. but then she could ask what took so long ,no? i'll have to answer with something.
or, and maybe more likely, she'll cut it off before getting to that.
Remember, 99% of what we worry about never happens.
But...IF she asks what took you so long, you can always say something like you were shy, didn't want to scare her away,or just laugh and give her a hug and tell her you're just foolish for having waited.
Point is, you don't need a prepared answer... you been seeing her for a long time and getting along OK
