shootingstar25xo answered Thursday April 14 2005, 3:55 pm: I think you should open up to her. She's your 'like best friend', so you should be more open to her than a lot of other people, guys and girls, anyways. You definitely need to flirt with her and be extra kind/caring/nice. Just don't be too much of a sap. Don't be really jerky to her while around your friends, girls hate that. Unless of course she hangs out with you and your guy friends, that could be a different story. You could also tell her straight forward that you like her and want to have a 'bigger relationship' with her. If you need more help my s/n is xobubblegum25xo. hope i helped!

BabiiD answered Thursday April 14 2005, 1:02 pm: Boy, I think you should try to get her attention by maybe asking her out on a date and teaching her something new. She might like that. Don't 4 get the cologne and dress nice to impress her....however she likes it!
Shelly_x answered Thursday April 14 2005, 12:14 pm: Well she obviously likes you being yourself otherwise she wouldnt be best mates with you. Just act as you usually do around her and ask her out to the movies sometime and see how it goes from there. good luck

LindasCounsel answered Thursday April 14 2005, 11:59 am: Dear Friend...
Well, it sounds like you already have the hard part down. That's the part about being friends first. To step it up a notch, I would start by being a little less available. I know that sounds strange but trust me on this. You want to get her attention but in a positive way. And you want to get her thinking about you. When you do get together with her, begin flirting just a little with her, just 'little' things, like moving her hair away from her face, or smiling a little bit and then looking away, ask her questions about her life, and be interested when she speaks. She will begin to question you a little to see if her intuition is correct. When she does, just tell her that you would like her to be your girlfriend. You can tell how you're doing by her response.
Good luck!

Karen answered Thursday April 14 2005, 7:16 am: If you want to get her attention, then start flirting with her and show her that you care for her. If you really want to get her attention, then tell her how you feel about her. Just open up and that will get her attention. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
karenR answered Thursday April 14 2005, 12:02 am: If she's your best friend you already have her attention. Just ask her out. Make a deal that you will go out for a month and then see if either of you are uncomfortable with the dating thing. If so, remain friends. You can make whatever time limit you want to, a month was just an example. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
FunnyCide answered Thursday April 14 2005, 12:00 am: *smiles knowingly* aww.. Why didn't you just tell me? I understand. I really do. All you had to do was tell me, you didn't have to do all this! You're so sweet!
*cough* ok, ignore that. I'm kidding.
Ok, you are so sweet! (not kidding here) and, if your best friend doesn't know, tell her. Just go up to her and say something like, "Hey, I just wanted you to know something... you know, I think you're really, really cool.. and I like you as more than a friend..." and then wait for her response. Relationships are built off of friendships. The best thing you could do is tell her. To get her attention, put yourself out there a little bit! Compliment her on her shirt, tell her she looks beautiful. (NOT hot! That is an insult! Never tell a girl she looks hot. Always go for 'beautiful' or 'pretty'.) Hold doors open for her, give her a hug. Offer to carry her books, smile at her for no reason. When you're walking beside her, causually sling your arm around her shoulders, or when standing by her, put your hand on her shoulder. When she gets a good grade or does something well, comment on it. For instance, if she gets a correct answer in History, pat her back or shoulder and say "Way to go!" or something. That is the easiest way to let a girl know you kinda like her - touch, compliments, and telling her. Remember, girls make no assumptions. If you want her to know, tell her. It can be in an E-mail, IM, phone conversation, face-to-face, or, if you're gonna be awesome, write her a "love note" telling her and send her a peice of candy, or a flower. Girls like that sort of thing, you know. Trust me, she'll never know if you don't tell her! I have lived this one out myself. Several times, in fact...
If you're a writer, write her a poem. (Girls like this kind of stuff, remember?) If you're not a writer, but still want to give her a poem, find a great poem online or something, type it on a 'pretty' card in a 'pretty' font and give it to her. She'll guess, but never know. If she's confident enough, she might ask if you like her, or get a friend to ask her.
If you want, get a friend to ask her if she likes you, or you could ask one of her friends.
Girls tend to notice the subtle changes in behavior and attitude... if you become more open, if you touch her shoulder, play with her hair, compliment her etc, she'll notice.
Pray about this. God will provide the ultimate guidance.

Lovedoctor answered Wednesday April 13 2005, 10:57 pm: Just try to talk to her more. Ask her if she thinks yall will every go out or not. Then tell her your true feelings. If she doesn't feel the same about you... just say it's fine... and that yall can stay friends. [ Lovedoctor's advice column | Ask Lovedoctor A Question ]
sadf16 answered Wednesday April 13 2005, 10:52 pm: Believe me. It's really hard if the guy is shy and the girl is conservative because no one will do the first step. You know what? girls have sensitive feelings. They know what you are thinking and they know who likes them with a few exceptions ofcourse. If you like to catch her attention, try to always smile at her. Smiling is a tentative step to show you care for her. Also be open to her slowly and slowly and you'll just know she's getting herself to you. [ sadf16's advice column | Ask sadf16 A Question ]
SexyChic answered Wednesday April 13 2005, 10:46 pm: Kinda subtly let her know that your single, hang out with her more, give her more of your attention, etc. If she doesn't already have a bf, you could talk to her or ask her out if you think you could. If not, just spend more time with her, and talk to her more. Hope I could help! [ SexyChic's advice column | Ask SexyChic A Question ]
allchical2193 answered Wednesday April 13 2005, 10:46 pm: well take advice from me im a girl!! it might seem difficult 4 u 2 talk to her about it but you should do it. life is too short to keep putting things off like that. u dont have to tell it to her face but you should write her a note or somthing. maybe an email. she might feel the same way. if she doesnt and she is your true friend, than she will continue to be your best friend. dont be upset if she says no. you should ask her out on a date as"just friends" then she can get to know you better and possibly like you as more than a friend, GOOD LUCK.

EGCiviccoupe answered Wednesday April 13 2005, 10:45 pm: Thats always a real tricky one. With this one I personally would give it time. Depending on how old you are its a big thing. I was 17 and told my best friend of 2 years that I basically was in love with her. She felt weird and didn't talk to me for 2 months. We are fine now, I realized it was some silly feeling I had. Sometimes in the long run its the best thing but.. I dono dude hint at her. Give her smiles maybe tell her shes very pretty one day. When a dance comes ask her to go with you and maybe make a move there. [ EGCiviccoupe's advice column | Ask EGCiviccoupe A Question ]
