Boy Help ?

So, theres this boy who's become a good mate of mine over the last few months, I've know him for a few years but i always thought he was abit weird (he used to hang round with a girl i thought was weird but now she's my mate too) so anyway, I'm just wondering whether or not i should ask him out because i have thought aout it a couple of times and im not actually turned off by the idea. Also another problem is i've never had a boyfriend before so i don't know how to deal with this kind of situation

HELP !

This is a tricky one, i have been in this situation of likin a boy mate, if you ask him and he says no then it could ruin your friendship, is it worth ruinin your friendship? But if you feel so strongly for him take a deep breathe and ask him.. Follow your heart!! x

Thanks
