We've been friends for 15 years, I dont know how I just ask her out, I mean is it just as simple as Can I take you out on a date?. Weve been friends for so long I feel like it would be opening up a big ol can of worms that she really would not want to get into at this stage e.g. different cultures so her parents wouldnt approve, also I feel like I would be betraying the friendship by admitting I have feelings for her.

Shes Asian so the culture thing is a big deal, I feel like shed be disappointed if I told her how I feel because of all people I should just know that she has to be with somebody from her own culture. Im certain she finds me at least relatively attractive, but I know Im not actually her type so thats one worry. Maybe she wants to hold out for somebody who ticks all the boxes.

I dont really want to just sit on my feelings either and not ask her out or hope they just fade away because Ive hung out with her 2-3 times a week for the past three weeks and really enjoyed it, I just want it to carry on. I already feel guilty enough that shes been at my house a few times over the last few weeks and weve cuddled up on my couch, maybe she wouldnt have allowed herself to get that close if she knew how I felt.

Im kind of losing my mind here. Do I even pursue this at all?
