I really, really like this guy and I have a problem. Everytime I try to tell him, I can't seem to say it. I have no guts what-so-ever and I am terrified of rejection. He is one of my good friends and I'm getting mixed signals as to whether or not he likes me. I see him everyday in my everyday situations and there's no way I can avoid him. Should I say something to him, risking rejection and possibly to ruin our friendship, or should I take a different approach? Please help!

There is nothing to it, but to do it! I've successfully used this line before: "I've got two tickets to the movies and I'd like you to join me --- not only as a friend, but as a date. What are your thoughts?"

O.K. There's a chance that he will say yes, and there is a chance that you may be rejected. Rejection is a part of life. Miss Missy, get some guts --- you just might get a guy --- you will NEVER know until you try.
