What Should I do

I've has a crush for a long time. Shes sweet, funny, pretty, she supports me and makes me feel better about myself, she comes to me for advice, we hang out a lot, and weve known eachother for over a year. But I dont know what to do.

Ive had feelings for her for a long time, and its the first time ive ever liked someone which is why I dont know what to do. My friends told her that I liked her(with my permission) and she said she doesnt know how to react and she doesnt know if its a yes or no, weeks have passed since then but I want to be full front honest with her though I also dont know if we could ever go back to being friends no matter what her answer is

I feel serious about her and I hope we have a serious relationship but I dont have the knowledge, confidence, or emotional strength In general to confess but at the same time I feel ready and I dont want to keep waiting and wandering around since I know that's not who I am.

What should I do? (Please be nice 🥲)
