Needless to say, I have yet to really tell her how I feel, though I suspect she has picked up on some signs.

We met last year, almost immediately after arriving at college. I felt connected to her right away--when we were alone, sitting and talking outside of the dorms after a night of drinking. She had a boyfriend at the time, so nothing romantic ever happened, and I'm grateful for that. 

(Given that I was 18 years old and raging with testosterone, to say nothing of being intoxicated, I would have readily followed lustful desire--this girl is beautiful; just thinking of her eyes, her smile, her hair gives me butterflies. Of course, I'm not suggesting that I've wised and matured immensely in this time. But, I've had time to reflect.) 

We were allowed to become good friends, and we, along with two other friends (one boy, one girl), would spend a lot of time together.

When she joined a sorority, however, we began seeing less and less of each other; during second semester, we hardly saw each other. And although we've hung out more this year--and fairly frequently, lately--seeing her has only made me want to see her more.

I can speak with confidence when I say that we have fun when we're together. We make each other laugh. She has a unique quality to make people happy without having to say anything that would usually prompt happiness.

Now, I have no idea what she thinks. I have never been in a relationship, partly because of fear--something that has stymied me from letting this girl know how I feel. And still, I'm fearful of losing our friendship if she does not feel the same way, and things become awkward after I reveal my feelings. If I were to tell her, I'd like to do it in person, as it is, seemingly, the most sincere option.

At this point, I would like advice. I find myself thinking of her all to often, it seems, for me to continue to conceal how I feel. But, the last thing I want is to make her feel uncomfortable.

I'm in love with a girl I've known for a year, and I don't want to lose our friendship if she doesn't feel the same way.
