When do I go from here?

I would think that with you two being friends for a year that you know a lot about her currently. If not then that would be a good way to start is asking about things she likes. If you already know think back to something she said in the past she likes and go do that. It will impress her cause you listened and remember what she said.


I know a lot of people say it isn't possible to stay friends if a relationship doesn't work out. I know that it can. I managed to stay friends with my best friend. We fell for each other and it didn't work out. We are still friends today.

Be yourself...I know it will be hard on the first date. Even thou you known her for a while that first date will be awkward. You say you really want to be with her. Do you mean you just want to have sex with her or you want to actually date her and get to know her more? You can say what you want here, but you know inside you if the feelings you have for her are only physical attraction or something more.

ask her out. I'm waiting for my "guy friend" to just make his mind up.

you should go on a date, see how it goes, if its weird or it sucks, just stick with being friends, if its awesome and you guys are romanticially attracted to each other then go for it...

time to take the next step ans date

If your question concerns being able to come up with new topics, just do a small exercise comedians do. In any situation be able to pick out four things and say something funny about them or make an interesting observation

ask her out then damn

Is your question about not knowing how to start conversations/not knowing what to talk about? Just ask her questions about the kinds of things she likes, hobbies she enjoys, her goals and dreams. When she gives you an answer, build off of that: either show her you can relate ("Yeah I like that too/I had this [similar experience] one time") or probe further to show that you're interested ("Oh that's awesome--what do you like about/what drove you to pursue [thing she likes]?"). Explore different angles on whatever she says. In future conversations, you can always fall back on one of those topics you've discussed with her before.

Also when you find out the kinds of things she likes (e.g. music, movies, fun activities), you can plan dates around those things, like to concerts, art shows, amusement parks, etc.

...ask her out on a date! What's the problem? Take her out and show her a good time.
