So, like the title says, I'm in a "Should I or shouldn't I" situation.
In the last month or so I've begun to see one of my friends in a slightly different light. We've been friends for some years now, so this is a very personally delicate matter. I'm just really really torn on whether or not it would be a good idea.
First of all, though, I think a little background information will help.
Probably one of my main problems is that I'm a very analytical person , I think about things a lot before acting on them, in a lot of cases to my dismay. I'm also a very socially reserved person, and am definitely not one to initiate things. I'm very into Psychology and knowing how things work (and I'd probably get into all that, but I think that would be counter productive), so there's a lot of psychological factors that I think might be playing a role in how I feel right now.
I just got out of a two year relationship a couple months ago. She also just got out of a pretty long relationship. Now, knowing the kind of person she is I'm a little afraid that it might be still too early for her to be engaging in a new relationship. But as for me, I'm a very physical person and I get pretty lonely quite quickly when I'm not in a relationship (at least when I don't have anyone that I can be physically close with).
So the core of my dilemma is that I want to start another relationship but I absolutely do not want to wreck our friendship because that alone means so much to me.
So my question is. Do I ask my friend out and possibly risk an amazing friendship, or do I wait until there is someone else (which could be a very long time).
