Q: There's this guy from work, and I'm pretty sure he likes me and/or is somewhat attracted to me... we're going to go and see The Corpse Bride about two weeks from now.. and he kissed me.. I just want to know how I can make this not just a 'friends with benefits' type of thing. How do I get him to officially ask me out, or tell me his feelings for me (whatever the heck they are..)?

15/f. (He's 16.. if that matters..)
Believe it or not, I was actually in that situation the other day. The only way you're going to be able to make something happen, is by talking about it. Yeah, it'll be akward, and it takes some guts, but it's quite worth it. Make sure you two are alone, and either bring it up in a conversation, or ask randomly..."What are we?" And he'll either say A)"Friends with benefits." B)"I dunno, what are we?" C)"Uhhhh..."
or if he is a smartass, D)"Human." To which you can reply...A)"Yeeeah, and I kinda want to be more than that." B)"The way I would label it would be friends with benefits, and I kinda want more than that." C)If he gives you that response, umm, it doesn't look too promising. D)"No shit. I mean us, as in what are we doing?" (Then you can probably insert a little of "B" in there.)

I'm not saying for you to say any of these things. They are just suggestions for whichever path you happen to take. I am, however, telling you to talk about it with him though. If you don't, he'll think that you are okay with just being friends with benefits. And, from how you put it, you want more, so tell him that.

YESSS!! This is the advice I needed right here!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
