why is love so tricky?

[Cariel]

Don't force anything on her. Tell her that you really, really, really like her, you're sorry and stuff. Buy her something she likes, flatter her etc. And for crying our loud, ask her out already! Be gentle and sensitive. The best way is to tell her in person, or on the phone. Stay from text until the last possible means of communication because that's what most people do to BREAK UP with someone. Email her if the phone and stuff doesn't work. For the opening sentence, which shows up in the inbox, don't do something pathetic like "I'm so, so, so sorry". Save that for later. If you come up with something interesting, chances are she's going to be curios and secretly open the email. And seriously, don't say we need to talk or I'm sorry as they first sentence however you talk to her. Say you got her something she might like or whatever.
