want some advice

[goodsam73]

there is a girl that i work with and we have been friends for years. i have had a crush on her for some time, but it has been pretty obvious that she does not feel the same. should i tell her how i feel and risk looking like a fool and possibly losing her as a friend or should i just suck it up and hold my feelings in?

there is more to this story, but i won't bother with that now unless someone wants to hear it.
