O-okay, uh... well... I remember when we were all playing games at that party a long while back, you, um, said you'd never been in a... romantic relationship before. So... you know, I think you're really great, and I was wondering if— if we're actually still going to be able to see each other after this, maybe you'd... want to try being in one with me?

But— I mean, I also just really like being your friend! So, um, if that's not something you'd want to do, that's fine! I won't be upset or anything. I don't want to make this weird.
