I’ve been friends with Janice for a long time. We’ve known each other since we were teenagers, and now we’re both 23 years old. I’ve liked her for a long time too but I never told her because I’m afraid of ruining the closeness we have as friends. Sometimes when she tells me stories about a guy she likes, I get irritated and feel jealous. I already want to confess my feelings to her, but I don’t know how to say it or how to start.

How do I start a conversation with a woman I like without being awkward?

You should confess to her—you might get beaten to it by someone else. That’s why you need to take the risk, even if it could possibly affect or ruin your friendship.

And at first, expect that it will be awkward because you’re friends. You need to be brave and not think too much about negative outcomes so you can do it properly.

You’ve known each other for a long time and you’re already friends, so it probably won’t feel that awkward anymore if you confess your feelings to her. You really need to get out of the friendzone because if you don’t, nothing will ever happen with your feelings for her.

Especially if there are a lot of guys who like her, you need to step up and take your chance. Whatever the result may be, at least you tried—and you won’t have any regrets.
