How do I tell her without messing up our friendship? Please Help!?

i'm a girl , lol. if my guy friend liked me , and i was in that girls shoes all it takes is "i don't want things to be awkard between us, and i don't expect anything in return, but... i like you" , that's all kido ! :)

Let me give you a piece of advice that I learned the long and hard way.. there is no such thing as "the best way" or "the right time".. the best and right time is then and there.. getting the message across is what is important.. you have to go for what you want.. you must take that leap in order to gain good distance towards your goals.. if you like her to the point that you have to ask then just tell her.. of course in person is always best, over the phone is safe and text is even safer.. I would just call her up and tell her.. the more time you waste the more torture you put yourself through.. chances are you already know what her response will be but definitely telling someone you care about them and think the world of them is a must.. your friendship is already ruined because you have feelings for her.. all it's going to take is time before you get so caught up in your feelings for her that you will push her away and probably be mean about it.. I've been there too many times.. just tell her, you got nothing to lose and everything to gain.. good luck.
