You need to understand this is all based on view point.
You know the girl. You know what she likes and how you should talk.
Only you can determine this one.
- feel her out
- speak from the heart
- watch how much in dept you go
- listen to her words, reactions, watch how she acts towards you. (good or bad)
- try to start it off simple and see where it goes.
- maybe even ask a friend to talk to her
- ask it in a question form. "Hypothetical"
Would telling her through text be bad?
I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Dealing with some issues here, but I wouldn't text. I would tell her in person, because you can see the feed back, and if it goes south. Well You can talk to you and tell you understand. Texting, you are being left with ? mark and she can just ignore you, if she's not down with it. However, if you think texting works for this, go for it. I do not know her or you, so that's your deal. But At least you have something to think about, goodluck.
