The yearning is only getting worse, and it seems the only way to get relief is to shoot my shot. But with how much I hurt right now, I can't imagine how bad it'll be if I get rejected. However the pain from being rejected would probably be finite in time, whereas I'll suffer as long as I don't have closure.

Every time I think about asking her out, I get a video in my feed about a woman's frustration with her male friend expressing romantic interest in her. It makes me feel incredibly guilty and lose all motivation because of fear she'll resent me.

I guess I'm showing you all this back and forth in real time so that you can either give me the final push I need or tell me clearly if it's a bad idea

I feel kinda sick. (I asked her over text if it wasn't obvious)

I've been friends with her for about a year now, but we basically don't text. I've been recently texting her a lot more frequently (still no more than a few messages a week) but I'm still always the one to message first. She's too sweet to say anything if I'm annoying her, a'd she always answers my texts, so I have no way of knowing if I'm too pushy
