| I am in love with a friend of mine. She is beautiful, funny, smart and fun to be with. We have know each other 3 years and see each other 2 -3 times per month. Mutual friends tell us both that there is mutual attraction and admiration between the two of us. In fact, a lot of people assume we are together. However, we have never taken the relationship to the next level. How would one or both of us take the next step? |
"Suzie, I think you already know I'm attracted to you and want more than just a platonic friendship. How about it." OK maybe not so crude, but be direct and tell her exactly what you want. |
|
"Want to get together next week, just the two of us?" Dinner and a movie is an obvious date. |
| Grow balls and speak. |

Today is a good day to do it. Assuming you are not both lesbians and you are the guy, I (as a non-lesbian woman) would appreciate you making the first move.
Go cheesy, and ask her to be your Valentine. (Do NOT give her roses.) |
| Are you a guy or a girl? |
Yes, do this and then unzip your fly |
LOL! |
+1 and just b/c you already know each other doesn't mean you don't have to romance her and make her laugh. engage her mind romantically and the body will follow. and show confidence when you tell her you want more - don't ask. |

| I had this situation with a friend, but genders were reversed. I asked him out on a weekend away, and that made it pretty clear what I was thinking. Alas, no relationship resulted, and I am still not sure why. Normally the interpretation would be "he's just not that into you," but there were mitigating factors that made me think that there might have been some other issue there ... regardless, despite our seemingly obvious chemistry, it was not to be. However, I do not regret giving it a shot at all. Just be sure to be level headed about things so you can keep your friendship if it works out. |
| OP here. I actually see us as a sort of "When Harry Met Sally" type couple. We have a few standing dates every year - including a formal ball - on top of just concerts, coffee, etc. |
Then you need to be pretty clear. But ask her out. Something like "I really like you. I like spending time with you, and I'd like to do more of it. Could I take you out to dinner sometime?" Be direct, stand up straight, make eye contact, and be confident. Good luck ... |

She's probably wondering what the hell your deal is. UR the guy. It is up to you to make a move. Ask her out for dinner at a nice restaurant, insist on paying, take her home, and kiss her good night at the door.
I'm guessing you're born after 1980, am I right? How to date is becoming a lost art form. |
