How would he react if I gave him a........?

Honey i think he'll feel better knowing how you feel abt him.because the way i see it he just wants to know how you feel before taking his next step.As am always told "you never know till you ask".Since your friend has agreed to help you let her do so.but one thing i must tell you is,dont expect too much so u dont get shattered when things dont go as planned.Just speak out your mind and just might be taken by surprise that he feels the same way about you.just be yourself.Cheers dear.
