How can I make the first move on my female friend?

[Anonymous]

So I have been hanging out with this girl that I met online for about 7 months. Within these months we have done so much together. We've gone to carnivals, bowling, comedy shows, arcade bars etc. Hanging out with her feels natural and intimate. Although we label each other as friends I can feel the attraction and sexual chemistry between us. At times when we are hanging out she begins fixing her hair asking me how she looks and when we are at shows I've noticed that she mirrors my body language. When we hang out and it's time for us to go our separate ways she asks me if I'm down to hang out longer. In which case we usually end up hanging out for a few more hours. We go to my place and watch random TV shows and eat (nothing sexual).

I'm 29 and have never been in a relationship before so I dont have any dating experience what's so ever. This is the first girl that I have been this close to in my entire life. Because of this at times I question whether I'm misinterpreting her signals as her being friendly or giving me hints to make a move. In which case as being a guy I know that I have to take the initiative and make the first move. I really like this girl but I'm just so conflicted on what to do. The whole not having any experience part really makes me freeze and leads me to not take any action.

So based on what I've mentioned does it seem like this girl wants to be more than friends and is hinting me to make a move? If so how can I make the first move?

First of all you don't "have" to the the initiative, stop pretending women are unaware princesses, they will make their moves if they are interested, especially if they are not introverted teenagers anymore.
You have to take the initiative if you want something more with her, regardless, and she should as well, if she wants. Perhaps she is figuring out the same, about how to make a move herself.
So far you have good chances with her because she is deliberately giving you signals that she totally knows could make a guy interested, especially if both are single and sexually compatible, and she never explicitly prevented you to think about her like "something more" (I guess she never told you she only sees you as a friend I guess, or never said how she has a lot of male friends who sometimes get delusions from her, etc).
Another good indicator is: is she into any guy at the moment? Does she talk about guys she is dating, guys she has a crush onto? If not, good chances her target is you. It's quite rare a girl is really not thinking about any guy at all for all those months, unless she is a rare super nerd who gets really fulfilled by her hobbies all the time...

Now, about making a move, which means probably a confession, I emphasize on the importance on "how" you declare your feelings and how this determines part of your success as well. I did explain this already in other replies so I will link one here:
Ask ask out my friend or tell her I like her?
However, this works for people you don't know very well, while here you have a lot more of options because you could try any approach at your home as well, which can be a cozy environment that can suggest physical contact somehow. You might create an "accidental" moment where you have to walk through a narrow space together by accident with the light off or dim, and see how she reacts there and the next times. But I think this drags things more too much and makes your plan too obvious, which is not sexy because it underlines your insecurity about it.

Just ask. You don't need 10 paragraphs to know what to do.

If you have not kissed this woman and got fairly intimate then this is about to blow up. Act like a man and take responsibility for leading this endeavor in all areas. Good luck 🍀
