I am a 17-year-old boy, I have known a girl for 3-4 years, with whom we became quite close last year, we can say that we are great friends. However, from the beginning of our acquaintance until now there have been jokes, hints, kisses, personal stories (old relationships and family things) constantly telling me that she wanted a friend. And the moment I think about asking her if she wants us to be more than friends, it's like I'm looking at another person, nothing to do with what it is, there's always an obstacle in the way. My thought is whether he can't see me or is not sure and wonders.
