Is love worth risking a friendship over ?
After asking my friend out I'm afraid that she will reject me - will we still be friends afterward?
Is love worth risking a friendship over ?
Ok... Proceed with caution! DON"T rush in with telling her all about your feelings. She may like you somewhat, or she may be hesitant about it, or she may like you as a friend only...
Step 1: subtly try to find out if she has feelings for you. Make eye contact, give her small compliments, look at her in a sexy way. If she responds, then go to step 2. if she starts to back off and look weirdly at u, like WTF are you doing, then take a step back; she probably only wants friendship for now. But you can make her like you by making yourself seem like a manly, wanted guy: date other girls, be relaxed about her, etc.
Step 2: casually ask her out. Don't say "will you go out with me?" instead say "you want to grab some coffee later?" on your first date you should find out if she likes you or if she just wants to be friends. And only when you are SURE that she likes you back, should you tell her about your feelings. Othewise confessions will cause more damage than good, and probably you won't be able to be friends afterwards.
Good luck!
I'm willing to make the first move, if its important enough to me, but I will wait forever ,years maybe lol. I REALLY appreciate if the guy does, because in my experience, guys are less mature about these things. It seems to be easier for me to continue being friends with a guy who I don't like, does like me, or who I like, who does not like me, then it is for a guy to continue being friends with me in that same circumstance. If she is a good friend and she does not feel the same way , she should not/will not think about it forever. #1. Because its mean #2. Because it will make things more awkward, which she won't want if she is your friend. : )
Anyways I truly believe it is best to be accustomed to going do things that e important, whether we think its a sure thing or not. #1. Its good for your optimism, if you get past being crushed by disappointment. #2. People are sometimes not the best judge what is possible,or what is absurd. Its good to ask once in a while.. Go for it ^^
Well, since it's not happening to me, I would say go for it! Ask her out!
But realistically, if she doesn't like you back, your friendship will be very awkward if you ask her out. Every time she sees you, she'll think about when you asked her out and remember that you like her. But on the other hand, if you never take that risk then you'll never know for certain. Girls generally won't make the first move (unless they're really brave or a hard-core feminist) so if you really want to know, then try flirting with her first to get a feel for her affection for you. If she seems like she likes you, then try asking her out.
Good luck!
I say just go for it, tell her how you feel, be honest about it, no joking. If you have a solid friendship and attempting to date her doesn't work you can still try to be friends, yes it does suck, over time you may overcome that. Things will go back to normal, feelings may fade while the friendship grows, it really depends on your personalities. You just have to work for it.
I went through the same thing a while ago, I wasn't serious about it and it fell to pieces, she thought I was just another guy using the friend scenario to make an in, that wasn't the case, that's been established now. Fact remains I blew it, because I did not put forth the real effort to move beyond friendship.
It remains the same if you dnt make a move,even if you fail which(not probably)she will then realize that you have feelings 4 her,u are a guy and that's what is expected of u..make a move and get over it dude..love is worth risking everything in life

Honestly if you really feel it, feelings need to be said. What I would do is start off by telling her that however she responds will be understandable. That just sets you off at ease because then afterward it won't be as awkard. When you tell her it's either going to be two ways she's going to feel the same or she just wants to remain friends. I don't think she would cut off or slack off in a friendship because of words. Just give her time to adjust, that would be a big step for you to make and I wish you the best of luck sweetheart.
Just remember if she doesn't agree it's not the end of the world just something you may have to ease off of.

the same thing is happenning between me and my best guy friend...
all I can say is go for it!
the first time he asked me out--i said no...but that was because he was fooling around about it!
so WHATEVER YOU DO DONT joke or laugh about it because since she's your best friend she might feel like your just fooling around with her or your just sending a mixed message, you HAVE to let her know that your serious about how you feel about her
This is a very good question. I guess it depends on how she feels about you. Do you know if she feels the same way about you? Or are you clueless? How long have you been friends? Is it a bond that 2 good friends share, or are you just merely acquaintances?
The first scenario is that she feels the same way you do and you start a relationship. You might be happy, and the relationship might last. If it doesn't then you will break the relationship and probably the friendship.
The second scenario is to just stay good friends with her. Yes you love her and I know how hard it is to be friends with someone you want more from but in this scenario you will remain friends with her forever.
So I guess to answer your question, in my opinion, no, love is not worth risking friendship, because a true friendship lasts forever, and sometimes love does not.
Well at this point I'm clueles
same thing happened to me. my best friend was crazy about me. he asked me out, and I said no, but now two years later, we are best friends and I care about him more then anyone in the world! I am told that I am different from other girls though so it depends on her personality. if you guys are good friends now, then that will never go away. if she does say no, just act like you do now, don't keep asking her. if she says yes then YAY!
Go for it. A 'no' is a given, but a 'yes' you can get.
She wouldn't be much of a friend if she would end the friendship because of your honesty. Usually the person who doesn't has his/her feelings returned is the one putting and end to the friendship, not the other way around. So it's most likely up to you whether you remain friends of not...
Most likely, even if she doesn't feel the same way, it won't ruin your friendship. If she doesn't feel the same way, you will be able to move on and thus be more comfortable around her. Also, there may be a good chance that she likes you too, but is scared to make the first move. Tell her, the worst that could happen is that she is flattered but not ready. And also, even if she says no, she could possibly change her mind in the future.
if she's your true friend, she cares about you and wants you in her life even if she doesn't feel the same way, so it could be awkward but shouldn't ruin the friendship. if she's not giving some kind of signs (knowing every detail about you lol), if things don't feel heated or intimate sometimes, I think you should go into it carefully and not proclaim your love for her, just something more casual.
Take a risk, go for it. Maybe she feels the same way and is nervous just like you. It could definitely go the wrong way... But even if she doesn't like you, I'm sure she'd still want to be friends. However... if you do date and it ends bad, you just lost a really great friendship so you have to think about that.
GO FOR IT! If you are crazy about her that's awesome, and sometimes it can get awkward between you guys, just don't change tell her how you feel! For me like if my best friend liked me I would try to give it a shot, you probably know her and maybe know what she will say next, tell her how you feel GOOD LUCK!
play it cool
dont come on too strong but ry to play ti slick
try making her a little jealous and pull out a little bit in terms of hanging out or talking on the phone
she'll feel jealous if she likes you
make her chase you a little
and don't say anything cause it will drive her crazy to know what your thinking
she'll crack and might admit it to you first
DO IT!
i am currently going out with my best friend, who finally asked me out and I love him to bits! its so totally worth it trust me:)
Depends on the person.. I had this same situation and we are still the best of friends. Some are like intimidated to hang out with you in the aftermath but if she's really your friend you all should be able to work it out.
you got the guts, I give props for that. not every guy can do this, including me.
you can pine away causee you ain't got the balls or you can risk it
I say you go for it. As long as you assure her that you don't mind being friends if she rejects you, you should be fine.
I'm sure if your friendship is as good as you make it out to be, things will be okay with you guys after. (:
yes, imo love is worth everything. it could be so great
If you try to still be friends.
