I really like this girl, who is also a friend, but she already has a boyfriend.
This girl whom I've known and have been good friends with since grade school, I have had feelings for her for 3 years now (started in eighth grade, now grade 11). So far, I've only ever had the guts to ask her if she wanted to hang out sometime (i.e. not a date, just as friends), and ask her out to school dances, and make her Christmas cards, that I, of course, delivered. In about grade 10 or so, I've seen her with another guy, and yes, I'd feel "hurt". Now, in grade 11, things are even more challenging for me as she transferred to another school (as said by fellow classmates of mine), and has a boyfriend (as I have seen online). Since grade 11, it has been difficult reaching her: I have to either email her, tweet her, or (the ol' fashioned way) drop letters off at her house.
Currently, as you all know it is getting so dang close to Christmas, and I feel like I need her to know how I really feel about her before time runs out -- and that if there is any luck, maybe I'll have an extra person to spend my holiday with. The only thing is, according to what she has posted over the 'net, she is already with a boyfriend. And I couldn't live with it if I was to tell her, and then ruin her relationship with her boyfriend, and our friendship, and have her hurt because of something I could have waiting to tell her, or just be quiet about. But, the truth is, I have been such a coward to do ANY of it in person, or through phone calls, tweets, emails, etc..
Please, if anyone can help, I really I might need some advice. Thanks, and happy Christmas.
