"The heart does things for reasons that reason cannot understand."
That line is from the movie "Frankie and Johnny".
Sadly though, sometimes we don't have enough courage to let ourselves do that one thing that our hearts so want to do.
I'd love to ask you to have coffe and caramels, but I wouldn't know how to ask.
I'd love to ask you to dance, but you might say no.
I'd love to sit and laugh with you, let the hours burn away, but I am too shy.
I'd love to watch the sunrise with you, but I'm afraid that the sun might set on our friendship all together.
I'd love to do a great many things with you, but I don't know if you would too?
...and because of this great reservation of mine, I guess we might never know!

If thou rememb'rest not the slightest folly into which love hast made thee run, thou hast not loved
William Shakespeare
That is what it is about, I think. Daring to make a fool of yourself, risking a chance, going for it, just because you can. Imagine what it would be like when your gamble works our for you! Although, it is not something one can really imagine, only experience can tell you what it is like...
So, what's keeping you back? Risk it, chance it, gamble it. If it works out, the result is amazing and oh so worth it. And if it doesn't, well, maybe only friendship remains. What will remain are the memories of a great time, however your gamble ends.
Most importantly though, with the years going by, you will regret not having asked that person for a coffee, for a dance. You will regret not having sat and chatted, seen a sunrise. Because you will continue to ask the question: What if...? Take a risk, were it only for that peace of mind...
Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so

Life is about taking risks and doing things that we are afraid of. That's what makes life so much fun! Ask him! If he says yes then great! You could have an amazing time together. If not, at least you'll grow stronger from it and won't spend time wondering "what if.." I wouldn't worry about this breaking up your friendship. It may never happen, and people may grow apart anyway, whether there is any romantic interest between them or not.
ummm just to clarify... this isn't about one particular person at the moment.... its was just a general thought that sparked when I heard that line in the movie...got me thinking about what I would or wouldn't do... that's all
I know it wasn't about a specific person. I know that you wouldn't publish that on your blog if it was about someone specific. At least, I think I know you well enough to guess you wouldn't do that.
I just wanted to give you my opinion on such a situation, to let you think about it from another perspective. I'm not saying one is right and the other is wrong, personally, I would most likely not do what I wrote. But I like to look at both points of view regardless of that fact.
