Go out with her to have a good time yourself. Anything else is secondary.

Chances are if you have a good time yourself she will too. And if she doesn't she's probably not for you.

Advice appreciated
You have to do it. What is the use of sitting there, bottling up your feelings and torturing yourself because you can't express to her your true feelings? Why put yourself through that?

People like to know that they're loved, wanted, and appreciated. If you never tell her, she won't know and you'll be stuck all alone with your feelings. Just go for it.

You will be even more disappointed if you wait too long and someone else tells her what you wanted to say and she ends up with him. If that happens this will be your theme song that you won't be able to get out of your head. Seriously watch this video and anyone else reading this thread that has unspoken words, it should scare the hell out of you.

Right now your fear of disappointing her is > then your fear of not being with her. Trust me your fears are in the wrong direction.

People disappoint others all the time.

We still love the ones who disappoint us.

While your post sounds genuine and sincere and I believe you don't want to hurt her or disappoint her.... but it's just not practical way of interacting with others in the world.

Be the best man you can be and that is all you can do, you will make mistakes and errors in judgment, but that's just life.

In the words of Doc Holiday, "Go grab that spirited gal and make her yours."

1. Don't talk about other people.

2. Ask her open ended questions.

3. Say her name often, compliment her (not only about her looks but also about what she says "Oh that's a good advice" "Okay that's awesome" don't agree with her on everything but dont be disrespectful. If she is into "new age" for example and you are not, just say "interesting, but I think..." try to level the conversation on things you have in common.

4. Have fun

5. Remember: it's just a date.
Thanks for the tips

Exactly how do you know she loves you even though the two of you have not been out on a date?
She has been telling me this for a year. About once a month. And not as a joke. I can tell.

TO all:
Thanks for all the replies guys, I will definitely do it at the next possible opportunity.
Also, I forgot my password for the original account.

Would you abandon ship because you were afraid that it could maybe spring a leak and sink?

Sounds like she's disappointed that you haven't asked her out. You have to do this. If you want to that is.
