Love help: Although I’m a guy, I could use a girl’s help. - Help.com

Although I’m a guy, I could use a girl’s help.

So about at the start of this year me and this one girl I knew started talking alot more. Now, months later, we’re very close, and tell each other everything. I should have seen it coming, but I’m starting to fall for her. I have been there for her in and out and helped her through some pretty tough times. She has a very fragile heart, so I don’t want to hurt her by telling her only because I don’t know how she will react. As far as I know I’m not really her type and she seems to be interested in another guy. I find myself wanting to tell her almost all the time, but because of the afore-mentioned I don’t. I know I could just let it go, but I have this feeling it may really work out. Any advice/help?

1-girls aren’t as fragile as you think and 2-tell her, you’ll kick yourself for not doing so in the future. can’t win without risking loosing something.

U need to tell her! could it be that you are scared to tell her? scared that she might now react the way you want her to? But what if she does react the way you want it to and things work out great! its worth the risk! So go for it!

I’m scared, yes. More so because I don’t want her ending our friendship because of it, not sure why she’d do that but it came to mind.

If she hasn’t looked at you that way… (has she? check…)
then you best come up with something that will change her mind;
otherwise you’ll get a “I don’t feel that way.”

Does she have other friends? Pull one of them aside and ask them. If they don’t know whether she likes you, ask if she talks about you. If they say she likes you, go for it. If they say she doesn’t, find a different friend of hers. If you get the same result, tell her discreetly or wait a little while. And tell her (but only if it’s true) that you don’t want it to be too serious (at least starting out) and make sure you talk to her when she’s calm about this particular topic.

Yeah… losing a friend can be huge. So first decide which is more important, but it’s almost always better to be friends first before turning it into a relationship.

Ask her what she thinks of the two of you being a couple. Ask her out on a date. You need to tell her how you feel because unless she’s a mind reader, she might not have any idea how you feel. Ask her the kind of person or who she wants to date. Never know, she might say you!

Have you told her about your past relationships or has the conversation been mostly about her needs?

I’ll probably be the oddball here, but I don’t think it’s something you should TALK about. It’s more thrilling (in my mind, and my experience) if you just ask her to do things without saying “wanna be my girlfriend?” That’s not good. Just invite her to a movie or out to dinner and let the idea dawn on her (maybe slowly) that you might think of her as more than a friend. Plus, that way you don’t commit yourself or put her on the spot. Plus it leaves room for her to remain your friend. Plus the thrill of being asked on a date, without it being actually “called” a date, is much more mysterious and romantic. Does any of this make sense to you?

In other words, SHOW her (but subtly).

I definitely agree, being friends first is key.

Well she has helped me get over one girl, before her, that I liked and she knows how I felt and everything. She isn’t like “oh, let’s talk about me all the time.” she’ll let me know if she really needs to talk, other than that it’s typical friend conversation.
