This girl and I have an extensive relationship as friends, since 5th grade when she moved to our school (we're seniors in high school now) Throughout the years, I have had a crush on her, and she has had a crush on/ dated my best friend, and she though she liked me but wasn't ready for a relationship. We're good friends and I have always felt I could confide in her.
It's our senior year and I'm starting to have feelings for her again, but I know that we are really not compatible past friends. She is a vegetarian, I love dead pig. She is an environmentalist/hippie, I could care less. She tries hard in school and reads all the time, I slack off and play video games. These differences have always been fine in our friendship, but I know it would never work if we were dating.
Lately I have noticed, however, that she will make long periods of eye contact with me while talking to a group of people, or she'll make a point to just talk to me for no reason, beyond what is normal for us. She has even been obviously making an effort to understand the dorky games I play like video games, D&D, or Magic: the Gathering. I am planing on talking to her about it, but if she does want to be more than friends for our last year in high school, should I just do it even though I know it won't be all hearts and roses? I want to, but I don't. You know?
