i want to ask out my friend.

but im afraid of him saying no. I know hes going to say no anyways. like a month ago my friend told him i liked him and he said he knew that and that he liked me as a friend. i have liked him since the first day of school. I dont know what to do. im not like the kinda person that can just go up and ask a guy out. and i dont wanna ruin our friendship… any ideas?

If he knows you like him and said he only liked you as a friend I would just leave it at that. You probably won’t change his mind. Try liking someone who likes you?

If you think he is just going to say no, you’re probably right. Best just leave this one.

You can’t force him to be your bf.

i know. im not guna force him. he said he doesnt have a problem with me liking him. i was afraid of him knowing cuz i didnt want him to act dif. and he said he doesnt do that stuf. so i took his word for it and that was 2 months ago. he acts the same. il get over it i ges. idk if hes changed his mind or not. he doesnt really tell any of his friends who he likes. but he made me tell him a couple weeks ago who i liked. i liked 2 guys. and he knew he was one. and the other was his friend which im also friends with. but i dont like him anymore.

If he doesn’t like you, asking him out won’t make him like you any more. If you do ask him out it will make things weird. If you can’t live without asking him out be prepared for the repercussions. He’s told you that he’s not interested, and he’s aware that you are into him. If he wants to date you, chances are he’d let you know.

You need to find somebody else to distract you. Start talking to other guys, spending time with more people, hanging out with your friends just as friends. Being single may suck when you see your friends all hanging out with their boyfriends/girlfriends, but it’s pretty awesome when you have to watch them break up or fight.

does ur friend like him cuz if she doesn’t and says no to him then you move in. start talking to him more, and be there for him, he’ll eventually relize how good of a friend you are and start to like you more. but if she says yes then wait till they break up and do the same thing. hope this helps.

I’m currently in your style of situation… except she is my neighbor, and 4 years ago I asked her out and was given the reply that she already going out with guess what, one of my good friends. much like yourself I cannot give up on this, I’ve lived near across the street from her for 6 years and felt odd every time I saw her with someone else or thought of her for that matter…

well anyway, I have finally worked up the courage to ask her to a movie, be it at her house, mine or the theater. hopefully it goes well, if not… I’m living in a rather endless state of depression.

as I was typing this, she left the house… so far, not so good for this plan.

Cheers and good luck with your “troubles”

Well I like a Guy too. He has been my friend since Kindergarden and alaways have liked him. He has been my first crush. I mean sure i have been out with other guys but in the end I find out that he is the one. He has only gone out once and it didnt work out. I have alwaysed been afraid of asking him out, cause he is like a brother to me and his parents are like familey to me too. But i dont know how to get the guy. Please help someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
