I was in a relationship with a girl from my sophomore year to my junior year in high school, But i was young and didnt understand how dating actually works. we essentially just cuddled a lot (no sex) but never really went on dates. When we broke up we just thought it would be better if we were friends, but young still maturing me over thought a lot of stuff and made some mistakes that caused a year long falling out between us. About 4 months ago we started talking again. we both have matured a lot more and put the bad behind us and now we are very good friends. But heres the thing, that was still the only "relationship" ive been in, but ive learned a lot and have matured a lot since the last time (we're both 19 now, 16 then.) and i really think id be a good boyfriend. But im extremely scared to ask her out, i dont want that to make things awkward between us and possibly cause a falling out again. Because she is basically my best friend right now.

Any advice on how to handle this? if anyone has questions ill happily answer
