Do I take things further with my guy friend?

I’ve liked on of my friends for about six months now. We dont really talk but he is part of the group I hang out with. Recently, I did a quiz on facebook about my future boyfriend and it came up with his name. I posted this and his best friend said that he liked this and I found out that he was actually there at the time. On a recent gathering I also heard him talk to his best friend and another mutual friend and my name was mentioned. I heard his best friend say he wanted to ask me something but didnt dare and then gave the guy I like the advice “your just gonna have to speak to her”. I’m so confused about whether he knows that I like him becasue I have been very subtle with my feelings and whether I should take things further or not and how to do this.

You guys can’t see the pink elephant in the room, can you? You both like each other but are just a little shy to seal the deal. You can just tell him he could take you out if he wanted to next time the two of you are semi-alone. Say it with a smile. This is always a good starting point.

This seems like a “he said she said” type of thing. I would just walk right up to him and ask about it. How else is it going to get resolved?

It just seems that he talks to everyone else but me. There’s the obvious “Hi, how are you?” but nothing more. I just really don’t know what is going on.

Oh and I’m scared that i’ll frighten him away or make things awkward if I just tell him how I feel and he doesn’t feel the same, especially cos we hardly know each other.

Telling him he can take you out will not scare him away. Take your doctor’s advice.

maybe you should start with hanging out. ask him if he wants to just go and do something for fun so you can really see what he’s all about and get some one on one time. hopefully things go good.

Dear dark_light, you’ve been subtle, but you’ve alos dropped off one hint about the facebook quiz. But does he have a hint? That, we really can’t say. When it comes to letting a guy know, some guys are really think and some guys assume too much. And these confusions happen especially when you send them love notes or little quizzes like what you sent his friend. The easiest way to let a guy know you like him, without really making it obvious or desperate is when you guys are around each other.

Conversations through email or chat, or even texting each other will not help you get the right vibes. It’s always better when you guys are in the same room. Luckily for you, both of you seem to be in the same group of friends which can actually make it all so much easier. Read this and you’ll know everything about getting the signals across, without having to fear rejection. http://www.lovepanky.com/flirting-fli… But in eaiter case, try not to get pushy or make it obvious. If he was having a conversation with a friend about you, it does seem to mean that he too’s got you on your mind.

But hey, it’s a guy’s job to ask the girl out! Feminists across the world can say it’s alright for women to make the first move, but always know that men love women they can pursue. It’s in their nature. So play hard to get and play your cards right, and you’ll see how effective that can be!
