I keep hinting and she just is blind. 5 other people have seen and they got it but not her. Also, I don't know if she likes other girls. Then my worst fear is that she won't like me back and then our lovely friendship will crumble into awkwardness. Any advice?
This is the exact situation I was in for an agonisingly long time in the past. The only advice I can give is keep hinting, and if the people who have seen and picked up on it are your friends maybe get them to say something to her about how you feel if you’re too nervous to do it yourself. But whatever you do don’t come straight out with it if you don’t know if she likes girls because if she doesn’t that’s a sure-fire way to make a friendship awkward. Judge the situation - if you think she wouldn’t see it as awkward, by all means go ahead, but if there’s even a tiny risk just wait. I ended up settling for just being friends with my old crush but this was mainly because I didn’t get to see her a lot and I had suspicions that she had a crush on one of my other friends. One thing I would say is try to see her as much as possible so you can get little things like inside jokes and knowledge about each other - your favourite songs, food you hate, things you both like - so you’re never stuck for things to talk about, just like you would for any friend. Except the more time you spend with a friend the stronger the bonds between you get.
