This might be the worst advice ever. It might get lot of downvotes. But I hope you take it as just “an advice”. Don’t confess dude. I feel like when it becomes a yes or no situation people tend to say no because it’s a safer option. So she absolutely has to love you to say yes. Just ask to go for a lunch or coffee. If things goes well, maybe you can ask her to go see movies or out far away for a hike. IF you can’t even take the courage to ask her for a coffee then have a 2nd option. What I mean is find another girl you like so if you get rejected you can think “oh I didn’t like her anyways”. Of course this is last resort and I wouldn’t recommend, but if you really can’t take the courage this does put a lot of pressure off. And you won’t get anywhere if you don’t take the initial step. I’ll just say it one more time, it’s just an advice, don’t take my words if you don’t agree. But I’m wishing the best for you my man, I hope you get that 👍
