So now I think I understand...

If you struggle with confidence and self esteem, you'll have to keep this simple mate. Just pick her up, go for a walk somewhere private and tell her. DON'T go in with the whole "You're the centre of my world, the love of my life, I can't breathe without you" thing, she might like it but also she might shit herself, I know I would! That kind of stuff puts people on the spot.

Maybe just something like "Your more than just a friend to me, and I want to be more than friends. I had to tell you before someone else beat me to it", and then just keep quiet, let her think, don't stare at her waiting for an answer. If she gives you any positive signs, go for a kiss, and make it a f*cking good one, don't try slip her the tongue yet...

By the sounds of it, she thinks of you as more than a friend. I've got lots of female friends, and I don't go f*cking stargazing or on romantic trips with them, that's the kind of stuff I do with my lass

Hate to sound a bit harsh, but grow some man cobbles and do it, that has to be easier than potentially living with regret WHEN she meets someone. I've seen her picture, she will meet someone, she's stunning mate. Like I say, I bloody would!
