I know, the default answer here is "forget it and move on, it's too late."

But, A: I will always wonder "what if" and B: the context in which we first met meant even I only approached our relationship as a friendship. It wasn't until later that I felt more.

So with that in mind, I want to just know one way or the other. But the truth am literally terrible at all things seduction. Terrible at flirting and not great at expressing myself. I'm aware I need to improve at those things and I'm working on it, but how would you go about it? Is there a better approach than straight up telling her?
