ok, I have a rant I need to get out. It is more of a pondering out loud sort of thing, so here we go.
*steps onto soapbox*
OK, there is this friends of mine (female) who I have known since the 4th grade (we went to same grade school, different churches). I didnt see her much during high school, but one of the people in my sunday school class was friends with her, and brought her to my church (this was a while back) and she now goes there/ is an active member etc..... We have always been good friends, but as of late, I don't know if things have progressed pass that, or if my mind is playing tricks on me, but as of late ideas have been popping into my head that had never been there before. Like serious ideas (you all know what I mean). We have talked a lot ( a standard conversation seems to be about 3 or 4 hours) about just about everything you could think of with regards to relationships, future, God, but I don't know if there is something to this talk, or its just talk. She is pretty much my ideal woman (as in she fills my list of characteristics of a mate to a "T") and she for some reason motivates me. I am usually sort of a bum, but she can always seem to talk me into doing things that I put off, or haven't previously done that I should have.
But most of this stuff is just backround info, the crux of the matter goes back to the age old problem, should I ask her out or ask her whats going on, or something of that nature? Or would I be pitching our friendship into the wind, and prompting possible weirdness? I can't tell either way. She is always smiling at me a lot, and we have discussed a lot of deep things (spiritually). But again, I might just be getting stupid ideas in my head. What to do? BTW why is it that guys have a hard time deciding if a girl is interested? That irritates me greatly. Why cant they just wear a tag or something? (that would make things so much easier, but things are never that simple).
Maybe I am just setting myself up to get burned again, oh well........ What do you all think? I am a relationship novice, so I have no backround to work with.

's and

) This lets her know that you are interrested (woot love those mind games not =/ ). you have nothing to lose, if she says NO, then just be friends. my first G/F and I are like best friends and are always talking, would i have been this close to her if we had not dated? doubtful. It is worth a shot, do not live a life of yesterdays and hoping that tomarrow will come to a better end than today, for when you do, life will be gone and you will only have sarrow and regret.
and ask her to set you up with one of her friends...
