Today's very important question
You have the chance to tell someone what you really feel about them and risk failure, rejection etc... or a reply that is also equally heartfelt and returned in kind. Do you take it, or do you stay in your comfort zone and say nothing?

Go for it.
Regret things you do not what you haven't done. Or whatever it was Mark Twain said.

Depends. What if what you really feel about them is that they are a boring cunt?

bah, I tell people that all the time

quite a realistic scenario for today's question
as in theory this could be done by anyone at any time.

I would be interested to hear what someone had to say if I told them some stuff. I'd do it if it changed nothing, because while curious, frankly I know we'd all be in a worse position than we are now.

Go for it.
I'm assuming that it's romantic in nature. Best to find out now rather than obsessing over it, and trying to figure out their feelings and such for ages. If they feel the same, then all is good. If you get rejected at least you know now rather than agonising over it.

^this
failure and rejection can be dealt with

Yep.
Took me a few years to learn that lesson. But it's a good one.

Instant reaction says to do it
It get's it off your chest and get's rid of all the anxity of worrying about it. Then main brain kicks in and asks the context and background - but I'd still do it. "What if's" later on are never a good thing.

I would go for it.
Realistically the worst that can happen is then don't feel the same way. Fine it's a setback, but you'll at least know where you stand and knowing one way or the other is almost certianly going to be less irritating in the long run.

Alternatively
ask the internet.

This is considering that whatever you feel towards the other person is normal
If you want to cook their testes in their own shit whist raping their children it's probably best to keep it to yourself rather than risking your friendship.

You're a weird one, I will say that.

I'm sorry I have to go for a lie down
the irony is hurting my brain.

I would think
I am uniquely qualified to comment.

Best to be honest
If it isn't meant to be, it isn't meant to be.

I am unsurprised that you have been on the receiving end of bitter, bitter rejection.

( WormuIus, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 9:59, Reply)

Only the once in the case I am thinking of.
However, I have crashed and burned many, many times.

Take it!
Although I'm sorry but as lovely as you are, nothing could ever happen between us :0)

Go for it.
Wish I had done so more often instead of playing safe.
( girlinthehole, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 10:01, Reply)

I should probably point out that this post isn't about me. For a change
I already told them and was knocked back. Their loss.

This is purely hypothetical.

You've actually given me the courage to say this......
AL, I LOVE YOU AND I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES.
( girlinthehole, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 10:07, Reply)

I'd say go for it
But you need to think about when you do it. *thinks*
( Captain V, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 10:07, Reply)

True.
Some situations are just not appropriate for asking people out.
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 10:10, Reply)

Take it.
You might not get the opportunity again.
(Poppet some assembly required., Thu 4 Jun 2009, 10:07, Reply)

Do it!
Do it now!

If it all goes tits-up then at least you know you've tried and can then go about moving on.

Say nothing
And go for the rest of your life wondering what might have been.

I did, and I'm happy... *cries*

No, really, take your opportunity NOW. Life is what you make of it.
