This might sound stupid, but the situation is that I fell in love with a girl that is a year older than me, and is one of my best friends. I just need some help on how I should approach her, or if I should at all. I am going to a party with her tomorrow, and hang out with her and go places a lot. She might want to just be friends, and she is a realy good friend, so I don't want to ruin that. We like a lot of the same things, and, again, we hang out a lot. Sometimes she seams like one of the guys, she plays tackle football, likes to fight, and is fun to be around. We have been friends for about 8 months, and I found my love for her gradualy, so it can't be lust. I need any advice anyone can give me so please help! If you have questions, just ask, and please, no spam!

Well, you've got to get the balls to tell her. It's always better to be honest about how you feel. You only live once.

If you only live once and ruin a great friendship, than whats the point? I have seen her in a relationship, and I couldn't bear to hurt her, and I think she only likes me as a friend. You see I have never been on a date before(LOLOLOL) because of my controling parents. This will be the frist time they will have let me.

lol, yeah. If she likes hanging out with you as much as you say she does, that wouldn't be surprising at all.

...kids actually go on dates these days? Wow. I never have.

Dates put a lot of pressure to act..I dunno. Good? If you already have known her for a while, there is no need to try and get to know her, which really is the whole point of a date. Go to the motion pictures or something. Hang out at a local spot. Something along those lines.

Well, don't get on your knees and proclaim your undying love for her. Just tell her you think you might like her. Take it slowly. If she says she doesn't feel the same way, just shrug it off and continue were you left off. If she's as cool as you say she is, she wouldn't just stop being your friend.

In my opinion, a date is a attempt to get to know them on a deeper level- not sexualy, but emotionaly and mentaly.

I'll tell you this, girls always know when boys like them. You might think she doesn't, but I bet she does. I wouldn't talk to her about it just yet. I suggest that at the party try to create a nice moment that might allow you to get a little comfy with her. Start out slow, try grabbing her hand and see how she responds to that. If she is skiddish about it, then back off. If she enjoys it you might could steal a kiss. Just go from there.

Dude. That pretty much told me which age group you're in. Hint: when it comes to gaming forum demographics, it's the group with a pretty friggen big range!

Asherlee: if my hunches are right, seduction is not the way to go where Itachi comes from :P The hand-holding, however, is a nice idea.

Itachi: I have this to say to you- be a man, and be honest with yourself. If you can do this, then you can be honest with her, for better or for worse. That is living.

*cue a hundred-thousand shoujo with female characters that say "Oh I wish he could be a little more assertive!"*

lol

But yeah, it can't hurt to be polite. Polite, as opposed to timid.

If that were true, no guy would ever be put into the 'friend zone'.

I am a timid(see: shy) person, and am not going to throw myself on her and"steal a kiss". I like her, and I am not going to start groping her. I perfer the polite method, so far, but keep ideas coming, because I have been polite the whole time.

Take it slow, try holding her hand like Asherlee said, but don't go for a kiss quite yet. Maybe see if she wants to dance, if it's that kind of party. It also couldn't hurt to ask her out to dinner.
