This is going to sound pathetic and it probably is, but hear me out.

I went to male only schools(very common in my Asian country) so I've had little to no chance to talk to any girl of my age until few years ago when I entered college.
Even then the few times i tried to talk to girls I couldn't really continue any conversations because I was too nervous and they could probably tell.

earlier this year though, this girl i barely knew and i got to know each other more because of some school projects and a lil help from the new pokemon game that she is really into.

We spend couple hours every week inbetween classes just talking and playing games together. Few weeks ago she asked me to come along with her to visit a big used-game market. We had fun spending few hours looking for stuff but I don't think she invited me as a date but more like i was the only one she knew that liked games she did.

I've slowly realized I no longer thought of her as another friend but more like a crush. I know if she doesnt have feelings for me our friendship might be ruined or at least be a bit awkward but I'm willing to take that risk over sulking on the internet about it forever. 

But the thing is.. I don't know how to ask her out and tell her how i feel. What am i supposed to say? Just telling it to her straight forward sounds a bit... silly. I've a feeling she'd find that situation extremely awkward no matter what.
