This Really Sucks

I originally posted a similar post about this same topic like months and months ago. It was all about a friend of mine she is the only female i can actually see myself not getting tired of. (most of my other relationships, I find their little quirks and dump them or just straiht out get tired of them) Well, she does have one quirk, she is a real bitch. I don’t mind that though (mainly because i learned a long time ago not to piss her off). The only problem is we have hung-out as best friends ever since we were in 10th grade in High School (best friends for 5yrs). I think my window of opportunity may have already came and gone. I still would like to explore what this relationship could become, although I have no idea on how to do that. Maybe, I could just straight out tell her? What do you think kinda risky, huh? I guess, I’m asking for your opinon, ideas, and how to approach this situation.

That’s about all I can tell you. Reading your post has totally stumped me. How do you start a relationship with your best friend? It’s always been my opinion that the person you’re in a romantic relationship with should be one of your best friends, but what do you do when they already are?

Well, here’s my idea. Go real slow on this one… ((or as Tripler might say, “you’ll scare away the fish.” :wink: )) I assume you probably hang out a lot. Perhaps you could ask her to do something more “date-like”. Go out to dinner, movie, ((miniature golf :wink: ))… whatever you’re into. See if she’s up for it. I would be hesitant to come out and actually call it a date tho’. Just pay attention to her… try to pick up on her signals. If you both start jiving toward the romantic side, then there you go. If she’s not interested, then, heck, you’ve just spent a good night having fun with one of your friends.

My suggestion is to take it slow. Take my advice with a grain of salt tho’. I’m in no way a relationship guru.

I can offer you one pearl of wisdom. I would refrain from calling her a “real bitch”. :wink:

Hope you both find what you’re looking for.

Thanx for the advice, and see thats just it. I’m maybe just not good at noticing her little hints or I might be confusing them with just being friends, but we go out to movies and dinner together all alone all the time. Maybe we both think the same about each other in the fact we are such good friends Because I have thought for years that, that is all I was too her, just a really good friend we hangout at least 5 days/nights of the week. So I don’t know where to begin, with her? I have never had a problem like this before, I have always been able to freely talk with women, plus I’m like a natural flirt. I’ve flirt with her kinda and she flirts back but we both kinda take it like a joke.
Ever since I moved back here (moved away temporarily for a year after h.s.) neither one of us have ever had a serious relationship. As for me I find myself comparing ever girl to her and no one has come close yet. Her boyfriends haven’t lasted that long either, she would never go into conversation about them, always a quick change of subject. In fact I would always find out from someone else in conversation that she was seeing so and so. So there is enough little things that give me an idea that there could be a chance, then at the same time??? What if not, you know the relationship might never be the same.
Any women out there give me your advice on what ever you could help me with. please

I believe that you should let her know that you would like to try a true date with her. Go on a date if she’d like to also. Remember it’s your first official date, so don’t pull out a condom, or make major advances. Do not act the same as if it were a regular friendly get together. Treat her as a date, not your best friend, or you’ll still be where your at now, just hoping.

Kiss her.

Well GuanoLad that is a very straight forward approach.

jesus christ…this is my life right now. There is this girl, beatiful, and I can’t do it. I am her best friend, and vise-versa, but I just can’t bring myself to it…sigh, the stress of being in love
