1. Sincere expression of feelings: Tell her your feelings for her directly and sincerely. I have always admired you. Your kindness, intelligence, and smile have touched my heart. I have discovered that I have a special affection for you and I want you to know
2. Show understanding and resonance: Next, share some of your shared experiences or things that left a deep impression on you about her personality and life, demonstrating your concern and understanding of her. For example, "I remember the time we stayed up late together to prepare for a project, and I admire your persistence and meticulousness. I think we have many similar ideas and get along very well
3. Respect her decision: Clearly express that no matter how she responds, you will respect and cherish your friendship (if you were friends before). I hope you can seriously consider my feelings, but regardless of the outcome, I hope we can maintain the good relationship we have now. If you are willing, we can explore more possibilities together; if not, I fully understand and accept it
