So my friend and I have been very good friends for almost 2 years now. We hangout all the time often going out to dinner and things like that. The thing is i really have feelings for this girl, and i am the point where i feel like i need to tell her. Does anyone have any ideas on what i can do to make this as least awkward as possible. Or anyone have any tips on what i should do im just really confused.... Thanks

Don't make a big production of it. Just give it to her straight. Go easy on her, since telling her that you love her might be a bit overwhelming for her, and she may need a minute or two to think about it. Wait for the right moment. Don't tell her you love her when either one of you is amongst friends. Wait until you are alone. But when you are, don't wait to tell her. Respect her reaction. If she doesn't love you back, your life isn't over; it may hurt, but that's how she feels. Make sure that you are sure you are ready for the emotional roller coaster of love. There are highs and there are lows; if you are just thinking of saying it to get laid, DON'T. If you really love someone, you will respect them, care for them, and be there for the good and the bad. Are you ready for that?

This is really good advice thank you for it. For me its more like i just need to know if there is anything there. If she says its just friends then im cool with that, I just hate sitting around and not knowing if that makes any sense...

Just go for it The worst she can do is say no after all.
I know the feeling and it's better to just come out and tell her than it is to sit around wondering what might have happened.
Tell her when you're alone, but wait for the right moment. If you just suddenly drop it on her it will probably be quite a shock!
Maybe drop a few hints that you're going to tell her you like her before you actually say it if you're worried.
And respect her response. If she doesn't like you back, then it's not the end of the world.
I hope it goes well for you, and good luck

Flirt with her? Girls often can tell when a boy is interested so just make it blantantly obvious without directly telling her. If she flirts back..progress with flirting and suggest you might be interested. If not, back off and save your friendship.

Go for it, me thinks. It'll be most beneficial for both of you. I mean, sure, you are taking a risk, but if it has reached the point where it is unbearable, you should just do what you gotta do.
