Hey, I had the same problem. I had a good friend who I had feelings for - and I went and asked her out to a dance, and she said yes. I highly advise you ask her out to the prom - but don’t start showing her affection right after the prom. Meaning? Don’t openly start chasing after her, like you are a couple. I made a mistake there. I assumed that she would have the same feelings for me, so I started to follow her around, do stuff for her, send her stuff, etc. If you want to know the rest, talk to me, but to cut a long story short, she told me that she wasn’t interested in me, after a very, very, very long time. I was very hurt - and now, I can’t even talk to her. I lost a friend through my mistake. Not saying that you will make my mistake, but do understand that once you start to show feelings towards her, and she reacts negatively, or not at all, STOP. Friends aren’t worth loosing, even if you like them and want to tell them. So, again, by all means, ask her out, show some affection, but if she shows none, stop right there, and give up. If you continue on, I can guarantee you that you will lose her. Hope this helps - and good luck if you are planning to ask her out.
