I would say, first identify what the goal for this talk would be. I believe somebody else brought it up before. Have it clear in you head what you are expecting from this talk. It's important to be honest with yourself. I know that when I had the urge to do so a couple of times and was really honest I had to back off. I knew I wasn't getting what I wanted anyway...
Be honest to her but do not show her you are lost, lonely etc. Just tell her how you feel about her, not how you will feel without her.
I wouldn't use a friend. NOPE!! She will know it's you.
I have to think about it some more. I'll get back to you (my D woke up).
