Whlist the word love shouldnt be used just anywhere on anything like it is these days, however, if you feel it, simply use this to your advantage. If your opening up to her then she is more inclined to listen, and share with you, then trying to push things out of her. Flowers, Chocies, Dinners, Movies, spoil her rotton. You do this because your trying to show you care and you want to spend time with her. You get to see her, thats the bonus!!

Don't threat about upsetting her, this will only happen if you didnt have a good friendship to start with or you go totally overboard and she feels threatned. Do you know what you should do? Write her a nice letter, make it sweet, but not pushy. It should take at least a week to write explaing the way she makes you feel when you were together during that week. If she likes you, she will cherish it.

Man I am in the exact same situation and I've screwed it up 4 now, I started going out with her and ended up tearing us apart and she wont talk to me now...not trying to scare her but it can happen. you'd hate to lose something that good trust me I know, I also know what you mean but your happy but not happy...its a tough situation. good luck!
