There is this girl I really like and have liked her for a while. I had numerous chances to ask her out but was too scared. Normally I have no problem asking out a girl but this was different, I really care about what she thinks of me, so when I try to ask her out I freeze up. I get to see her every day before I go to class, but I finished the class tonight and have lost the ability to see her every day.

Luckily the other day I ask her for her number, so I can still get together with her on the weekends. The problem is she had a boyfriend. I truly enjoy talking to her we have a lot of common interests and I think she like me too.

Since I do enjoy talking to her and we have so many common interests I want to at least be friends with her. The only thing is I don't know how. I have had girls who have just been friends but I never was that close to them. I just want to know how to ask her out (like for coffee or to a manga store, one of our common interests) with out making it sound like a date.

(Also I want to know if I still have a chance to be her boyfriend, I'm ok with waiting, but if I still have a chance with her is there something I can do to put me in favor with her. )

I basically agree with a lot of what the girl posted before me said. You just can't be "just friends" You'll always be wanting more. But if you drop hints that you like her. Maybe she'll get rid of the boyfriends she has realizing that she'll want o be with you. But don't be going and getting your hopes up by what I said.

Did you ever watch, "When Harry Met Sally"? Harry said to Sally, "Guys and girls can never really just be friends. " I think you need to be honest with yourself. Your basic motivation for being friends with this girl is so you can keep her around in case her and her boyfriend break up. So, the point is that you really don't want to just be friends with her. If you act like her friend, she will treat you like a friend. But, if you want more than that, you've got to be honest with yourself about it. If you like her and want to go out with her, ask her out. Her answer will let you know whether she is really interested in you or not. She may not want to at this time because of having a boyfriend. If that's the case, you need to accept this and move on. Tell her that if she ever breaks up with her boyfriend and she is interested in you, she can give you a call and you guys can go out. If she responds negatively, you will know whether you ever have a chance with her. But, don't put your life on hold for some chick.

It's really hard to be just friends with someone who you liked already, you might be able to control yourself now and talk friendly, but once she's truly opened to you, you will end up wanting more or even try to hints how you feel about her. Most female friends a guy have is female who that guy don't find attractive to(doesn't mean they isn't attractive overall don't get me wrong). I think best is to either tell her how you feel about her or hints, if she say no, I like you as a friend then you can move on and you will then be truly friend with her.

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?
random-ren asked 19 days ago

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

What's there to be annoyed about?

What pickup lines do you use to start a conversation with someone you are attracted to?
I'm really nervous around girls, maybe because I never think I'm good enough for them but I'm the kinda guy who needs to gain confidence before I can be myself with a girl and make jokes. Soo I probably wouldn't use a pick-up line I would probably just try and start up a conversation anyway I could. If I had the confidence I would say something like.. Are you single because your beautiful :)

How do they typically respond?
Rejection! haha. well I've never tried a pick-up line on a girl so I don't know if id have any sucess but when I talk to girls thigns don't usually go that well! I guess I'm just not good with girls and I never will be :( butt yehh has anyone got any tips for a guy like me?

Do I have the right approach?
