I think I got it down on the friendship thing. Assuming we get along well, and I like her personality, and she likes mine as well...that part shouldn't be too hard. Plus, that part is pretty much mandatory, as personality/trust/friendship is absolutely necessary for a stable long term relationship.

About the physical beauty thing...while there are most definitely more important things, liking it or not, physical beauty really does matter to me. I wouldn't be with a pretty girl with a bad personality...but I also wouldn't be with an ugly girl with a bad personality. For me she needs to be the whole package. Both beautiful personality wise and physically. But that's just simply the type of girl I like, so that doesn't relate to dating much.

Maybe you're right in the sense that I shouldn't point out her physical beauty when confessing to her, though. She might see that as shallow. Later on, like about 2 weeks after dating, it should be fine to compliment on her physical beauty. But not when confessing. Plus, when a girl is very attractive, she's probably sick of all the comments on her looks, and wants someone who appreciates her personality instead.

You're completely right about the corner thing, though. It would probably be a bit awkward. I should probably just say it while talking to her normally.
