So I asked out my best friend who I had a crush on for a long time. I had this fuck it, let's do it moment. She said No, giving the reason that she doesn't want to risk out friendship for a relationship. According to her that is the only reason.

Also I bombed. I mean I had so much to say and I was prepared but I just couldn't say everything.

How do you guys be confident in such situations? Do you really think 'risking friendship' could be a valid reason?
