Girls, or guys, did you ever want to ask that one question...?

to your crush, or boyfriend/girlfriend, and its something like "do you want to be with me(or do you care about me at all) or am i just fun to fool around with" something along those lines, but youre to afraid to ask it because if they dont give you the answer you want, you'll be crushed? and half the time, you think you know the answer but youre dying for them to prove you wrong and say something else? my question is, should i ask that question? or should i wait patiently by, and wait for summer to end, and see where it goes? because right now, im to afraid to ask and lose him...but i really wanna know
