Age difference hindering me to ask them out.
I have very strong feelings for this guy... he's one of my best friends, and we're really really close, I've been in love with him for almost a year now.
The summer I started to like him, I broke up with my boyfriend because I felt unfaithful liking someone else at the same time. Me and my ex never got back together again.
One of my friends told him about my feelings for him last year, but he simply joked about it being cute and really said nothing else about it.
I made a promise to a friend of mine we'd both express our feelings/ask out the people we like by the end of the summer, and he's been single for about a year now too.
The problem remains that I'm unsure whether he likes me back or not.. and we have a 7 to 8 year age difference. It doesn't bother me... but I feel like it'd bother him and that he only really sees me as a kid.
But I really want to try asking for a chance... any advice about it? Whether I should ask or not?
[Also, if I do, I want to pick a good day to do it. I couldn't find a board that relates to Astrology, but if anyone knows, I'm a Libra and he's a Gemini. Doesn't anyone know possibly when would be the best day to do it under astrological influence.. ]
P.S- An important piece of info possibly, we only know each other online. So it'd be long-distance.
