Please help me, I genuinely love this woman but I don't know how to go about asking her!?

Theres a few ways you can go about it. For your situation, simply ask her how she feels about you, and based upon her response, ask her what she wants in a relationship. Maybe she just wants to play around and doesn't want anything serious. (this would be a huge plus for you, and i'll explain that in a minute) If she wants a serious relationship, or at least has real feelings for you then maybe tell her how you feel. "Tell her how you feel" is the best advice anyone has ever given me, though it can really f*ck things up. So wait until you know her feelings so you can express yours in the right way. That way, if she really doesn't have those feelings for you, it wont make your friendship awkward or stress it in any way while being honest with yourself and her about the feelings you have so you don't feel weird afterwards. As for what i wrote above, if she just wants to play around with you, that would, in a way, be good for you to gain some experience. I've always felt that you shouldn't jump into a serious relationship unless you've had your heart broken at least once. That way you don't go in unknowing or you start over-analizing everything because you don't know what to do, what to expect or how to deal with something. Good luck though, you can drop me a line with anymore questions & let me know how it goes!
