Never tell someone “I like you” or “I have something to tell you”. Signal with body language, create slow burn tension, flirt subtly but have plausible deniability. A lot of attraction goes unspoken, if she likes you back she’ll take the signs and flirt/signal back. If she doesn’t like you back she won’t, but no awkwardness/ruined friendship.
but i’m so bad at that kind of thing I only get girls by being incredibly straightforward. we’re already incredibly comfortable with each other and know basically everything about each other. I won’t say it outright but I don’t really know how to start being closer to her physically without it being weird
