I hear this is the place to come for advice.
I've known a girl for a while and we have always been good friends. We were both in relationships when we met.
We are both single now, and have been for years. Over this time our friendship has developed and like all, or certainly most, opposing gender friendships there is now feelings coming to fruition.
The problem is I don't know if it is one-sided on my part.
We text chat daily. Have so much in common. We laugh constantly when talking. Chats can often go on for hours.
Yes I am incredibly attracted to her and I'm just unsure if the feelings are reciprocated.
Do I risk asking her to go on a proper date?
Or do I say nothing in the hope that something will just happen, and if it doesn't I still get to maintain a great friendship without muddying the water?
The current lockdown situation is making it difficult as obviously we can't meet up at the moment so I'm unable to judge any signs that you would pick up on face to face.
She sends me little gifts in the post and food items on occasion via a delivery service.
I don't want to be left wondering what might have been if she is doing these nice things because she wants me to ask her out, which I do, but I don't want to ruin the relationship we have if all she is doing is being nice.
It is valentine's this week and I'm in two minds as to use this opportunity to send her a card and a gift.
I ponder upon the fact that I am utterly clueless at this moment.
