Can I tell a girl I'm fond of, how I really feel even if she wont like it?

i have met with this girl on two occasions recently on a kind of date, which we agreed to take things slow and meet as friends first, and see where we go from there. The girl is a friend of a relative whom insisted she was a nice. I saw some pictures of her beforehand and decided to meet with her. I can honestly say she is a beautiful girl. She has a nice smile and a pretty face. The one concern I have is her weight! I trusted my relatives judgement of character and i have been proved right to do so. She is a little mad at times but in a charming way, bubbly, sensible too and generally good fun to be around. Perfect friend material at the very least then. I cannot help though but think she could be more! My dilemma, however, is despite all her good points I am not sure that I am attracted to her because of her weight. Equally, though i feel that pushing her weight problems aside she is potentially perfect. Old photos show her to look great and if she maintained the very same figure now i would ask her out in a heartbeat. I was aware of this problem before meeting her but thought i ought to give her a chance as I do not agree with being shallow. I also realised i could gain a friend in all this too. Basically, what i would like to do is tell this girl how i feel! i realise though this may not be news she wants to hear. I am reasonably confident that she likes me but how should i tackle this problem? stay friends for longer and hope she loses weight in time? there will be no guarantees that she stays single though and i do like her. Or do i tell her straight about how i feel? she may not like what she hears but if she tries to lose weight i might decide to give her a chance at being my girlfriend right away. I am reasonably athletic so would be willing to help her too. I am afraid though with this option she will be put off by the fact I do not like her for who she really is. What do you think i should do next? Thanks for all your help in advance, it is much appreciated :)

So I would say tell her how you feel about her. Also as far as her weight goes. Tell her you are concerned about her health and the amount of time you might have with her would be more and that you could share a heather life style together.

i went out with a women who had a weight problem ,but was a lovely person.The thing was though it really played on my mind about her wait .I didnt think i was so shallow deep down ....but you have to be true to YOUR feelings .And not live your life by societies morally right ways all the time .If it bothers you ...then it bothers you .if you be her and tell her in so many ways to lose weight ...she will read u like a book.Then you will feel shallow .if u dont itll bug u for a long .If like her alot should her weight really bother you .But if it does bother ,maybe you dont like her as much as you think.Id be friends first and see within a time frame if she wants to make any effort at all .if she does u can have your cake and eat it ....if she dont ,..well i would move on
