Amazing Story, but what now?

There is a girl, I will call her K for this purpose, who I have been acquainted with for about two years. We never really talked, but I was aware of the fact that she had a "crush" on one of my good friends. I had no problem with it, I had my own interest in another girl, call her E, who had been my dance partner at a school function.

My friend knew about K's crush on him, but would never ask her out. As time went by, I tried to get closer to E. However, my friend began to show interest in E, not knowing about my feelings toward her. Despite my efforts to steer him back to K (so that I could have E to myself), he would not listen. As fate would have it, it appeared that E was falling for him as well.

 

Finally, at an event that all 4 of us were attending, my friend and E began to publicly show interest in each other, and went off together, leaving me sad and alone. In distress, I realized that the person I wanted to talk most to was, of course, K. She was going through the exact same thing I was.

The boy she liked and the girl I liked were falling for each other, hence leaving the two of us out of it all!

 

That night I felt a strong connection with K. I was able to "let myself go" and tell her all my true feelings on the situation, and we spent nearly two hours together before she had to leave.

Shortly after, my friend and E made it official, and began their relationship.

 

However, K and I began to talk more and more about everything, later moving on to other topics. We have now been talking (mainly texting since the end of the school year) regularly for almost two months. In the beginning, I swore that I did not want a relationship with K, that we would simply be friends. However, as the weeks went by, I became more and more attracted to her. I began to look forward to our conversations more and more, and she is now on my mind a lot. I can't wait to turn my phone on in the morning to read her texts that are usually waiting for me.

 

I would really like to ask her out, but I don't know what the answer would be, and I do not want to lose her as a friend, as I inevitably would if she rejected me. Recently in our conversations I have made it more and more obvious that I was "interested" in her, and in response her texts to me have been more flirtatious as well. She has also began to ask one of our mutual friends if "he knows for sure whether or not I like her."

 

This is a girl I am certain I have "chemistry" with. I feel comfortable talking to her. We have a lot in common in terms of interests and personality types. We are on a sports team together. I want to take our friendship to the next level, but I'm worried about the risk. I know we both started out as "just friends," but I know I feel something more and I think/hope that she does too. What should I do now?

 

Thank You! -AC

You should make a move fast before you end up in the friendzone or she gets impatient and moves to someone else.
