Well, there is a boy in my class that I like, and he is really kind, funny, smart, fast...he excels in almost every class. We've been friends for a few years, and only recently have I felt like he is more than a friend to me. Only one of my 3 best friends, other than my crush, knows. One of them because I don't think she'd be too interested and the other because we just became friends this year, and I'm not sure how she'd react, though I'll tell them both eventually. Anyways, I'm not sure how he feels about me, and since we all go our different ways next year, I'm not sure what to do. I'm way to shy to ask him out, and I truely just want him to know how I feel. I don't have the guts to tell him, though I'm considering asking my only friend who knows if they can say something like "Y'know, I think _______ may have a crush on you" and get them to say how he reacts. He may just mask his emotions, and may try to be awkward IF he does like me. If not, It really will be awkward for him

. Is it worth a try, or is it too risky? I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I really like him. Any ideas?
