Should I ask my crush out?

I need to study. *3 seconds later* Ooh! I should do THAT quiz next!
Me and him met at the end of summer and became friends on the first day of school (August 13). We have a lot of classes together and hang out after school too. A lot of our mutual friends want us to be a couple but neither of us comment on it. We’re good friends and I don’t want to damage that, but I also don’t want to keep hiding my feelings. I can’t tell if he likes me the way I like him, or if he’s just really nice to me.

If you’ve already reached a stage where you have feelings for your friend, it means that it is going to occupy a lot of your time and headspace. Instead of playing games or trying to act differently with your friend, it’s better to directly communicate and share your feelings.

It doesn’t have to be all at once to avoid overwhelming your friend, since they might be on a completely different page. It can be very subtle. You could try asking them how they would feel if the two of you were to date or turn your relationship into a romantic one. If their response is positive or negative, then follow up by conveying your feelings, again respectfully and kindly. At the same time, being sure and having clarity of what you want from them is important.

Help, how do I tell him I like him???
So, we've known each other for three years, and I love being around him! He gives me so much happiness and warmth. But anytime I try to tell him, I chicken out! We've had a lot of romantic moments but both of us are to anxious to say anything. I'm terrified I'll lose the happiness I'll get around him. What do I do?

Help, I have a crush on my guy friend!
A new student came to my school six weeks ago. For the first two weeks, I started to talk with him. Afterwards, we started talking more often and he started looking out for me when I get hurt in PE, asking if I'm okay and that. A few weeks ago I realised my feelings for him, and I know this isn't like my former crushes, since I'm so much closer to him than I was with my old crushes, and the main thing I like about him is his kind and caring side for him. I talk with him more than I would with most boys, and I think it's the same with him for girls. We also share a knowing look every time something wild or chaotic happens in class. I don't know what to do!

When to ask this person if they wanna date me?
So, I've known this person for a year, we have an established friendship and know each other fairly well. We've went on one date so far but we've been romantically interested in each other for a good amount of time, I've loved em since I met em sooo yeah. I really would wanna wait until we go on a couple more dates but end of school year is approaching, they're a senior, I don't know when I'm gonna see em again. I know I shouldn't try to rush a relationship because I feel like I'm running out of time, I don't want to, I just have wanted to be with them for so long and wanna be able to say we're together before the year's over and I get to see them a lot less.

Should I ask out my crush? Should I get to know him better first?
I've been in denial a little bit about liking a guy but this quiz helped me realize that I actually like him a lot! The thing is, we don't know each other super well. Should I just shoot my shot and ask him out or get to know him better first? How do I get closer to him and how do I ask him out?

I have a crush on a boy and he likes me too but he's not making a move...
I have a crush on this boy and he likes me too but he's not making a move. I found this out last year when my friend who is a boy asked him if he liked me and he said yes! But since then he hasn't made a move. I'm scared because there's a pick-me girl in my class and I think shes getting to him I don't know what to do....

I think I have a crush?
A week ago, I met a boy who came from another country for a trip and I got his number. We've been texting everyday and he's genuinely really nice, good looking, and smart. We're a couple years apart, and both of us are teenagers. I really like him and I think I have a crush on him. He sometimes says things that could imply something, but his mother tongue isn't English so I'm not sure. For the "What does your crush think about you" quiz, I got that he thinks I'm a great friend but wants to be more. What should I do?
