OK, Well my dad's girlfriend of 9 years has a daughter who is getting married in February. I guess that today she is supposed to ask me to be one of her bridesmaids, but I kinda feel out of place saying yes even though I have known her since I was 3 or 4. I feel out of place because I never really thought she liked me and I am not technically related to her.
And if I say yes, How do I say so that she thinks that I am really glad and excited? (Don't get me wrong, I am so happy and thrilled to be in her wedding, I am just really nervous so I need back-up.)
Thank you!! =]

Maybe this is her way of saying "I like you". Accept it.
Just say something like "oh yes, I'm so happy to be in your wedding...I'll help you with whatever you need!" and give her a hug.
p.s. I am in a similar situation except I am the bride and I have two "sisters". One I like and one I don't. Only one of them is in the wedding. Generally people don't ask others that they don't like to be in weddings.

I guess she must like you if she wants you to be in her wedding, and you know it doesn't matter if you are technically related. All that matters is that she thinks enough of you that she wants you near on her big day. You'll be in all the pictures, etc. If you say yes, just say,"Thank you! I'd be proud to be a bridesmaid in your wedding. I feel so honored." Look her in the eyes when you say it, and then give her a hug and a smile.

Don't try so hard! It doesn't matter that you're not related, and if she's asking you to be in her wedding, that's a great way for you two to become better friends.
When she asks, say something like:
"Thank you so much for thinking of me! I'm so excited to be part of the wedding. I've always wanted to spend more time with you and this is the perfect chance."
And no matter what you say, just don't worry about it so much...I think you might be overthinking the whole thing!

You may not technically be related to her, but "families" come in all descriptions these days. Say yes. If for nothing else than for the sake of "family" relations. It could help to cement your relationship, and it should be a lot of fun for you.
Don't let nerves make you say no. You may regret it later.

Hi. If you are happy and thrilled to be in her wedding...then the "yes" will be genuine...not made up. People can tell the difference. Say...."yes, I would be thrilled" and give her a hug! She will know that you are genuine.

'i am really flattered, thank you so much!" show enthusiasm by your actions, ask how you can help or be involved.. introduce yourself to the maid of honor and let her know you want to be a part as much as possible..
family is in the heart not the blood.. if she asks then that is a nice offer of making you feel more like family to her..

I agree with the other posters. If she didn't want you in the wedding, she wouldn't have you. Maybe she didn't want to try get too close because she didn't want you to think she was tring to "be your mom". It's a fine line to walk. My brother's girlfriend goes through it with his girls all the time. She loves them but doesn't want to intrude (even though they rarely see their mom).
SO just be happy! Let it come as it comes. Have fun.
