Anyone have good advice on how to bring it up? Is it best to just be direct and say "I think I am attached to you." I don't know if I could get those words out...I think I would feel more comfortable if I am more indirect and ask her if she would ever leave me or tell her that I'm afraid of her leaving me.

I realize being direct is probably the best way but I honestly think I would sit there for 10 minutes before I was able to say it.
