Dear Jen,
It's great that you're sensitive enough to think about how they'll feel before asking that question - and I think because of that sensitivity, the person you obviously are, and the friendship you're likely to have with V, I'd say you'll be just fine asking. :D
I'm sure if V feels it's inappropriate or unwelcome you'll hear the truth, but if you don't ask, you'll never know, and some great lyrics by The Smiths seem somewhat appropriate...
'Ask' - The Smiths
"Coyness is nice, and
Coyness can stop you
From saying all the things in
Life you'd like to
So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I?"
Katey x
