Need help with a girl. Very confused. Long?

If you love her, then you should ask her out.the way you put it does not seem like you see her as a prize. that isa good thing that you dont see her like that. and the guy who said you both should date her i would beat him up just for saying that. If you truly love her than i would say ask her out. but wow you have been there for her. only if more guys were like that. hope for the best.
