Hey 4-ch, I'm in need of some quick advice and encouragement. I am in love with this girl who I am currently good friends with. She's from China, and we are both studying Japanese together at University. She is the most amazing person I have met in my life and we get along great as friends. I've, up until now, have been extremely afraid to tell her my true feelings because I was afraid it might hurt our good friendship. I invited her to have dinner with me next thursday at a very expensive restaurant and told her I would be treating her. I'm not made of money, I just have a bit saved in my bank from previous jobs but I really want to go all out for her especially since the school year is coming to an end. I want to tell her, at dinner, how I truly feel about her but I'm not sure how I should come out with it. I'm thinking something like this but could you all tell me what you think? "---------, There's something I've been wanting to tell you but I was afraid that it might hurt our frienship.. but I need to do it, otherwise I will never forgive myself. -------, I love you."

Thanks
