“I could be totally off, but I feel like I’ve been getting some vibes from you lately. Are you interested in me?”
“It’s OK if I’m totally wrong, but I feel like I have to ask. Do you like me?”
“It feels like you might have feelings for me or something. Is that what’s happening?”
“Hey, I’ve been noticing you’ve been acting kind of differently around me lately and I might be way off, but it feels like you kind of like me. Is that it?”
“Our friendship is really important to me, and no matter how you answer this question, that’ll never change. But I just need to know: are you interested in me?”
“Recently I feel like you’ve been acting differently, and I’m wondering if I know why. Do you like me as more than a friend?”
“I wanted to ask you something that might seem kind of strange… I don’t know. But you’ve been acting a little differently around me and I need to know… do you have feelings for me?”
“For the sake of our friendship, I want to ask you something, and I really want you to answer honestly. Do you have feelings for me? Like, do you like me as more than a friend?”
