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?
