I need help, I like a girl. She's gorgeous funny,smart. Interesting and I would like to spend time with her but, I'm afraid of what my friends will think.
You're friends will later learn why you like her. But ask her to talk in private. Ask her out don't be scared. If she says yes. GREAT! Inform your friends ASAP. Secrets drive people apart. If she says no, maybe at a later time she'll change her mind and if it's a permanent no. Gotta respect that.
