So I've known this girl for about 8 years,
But never really got to know her until a couple months ago.
We started hanging out, and have become really good friends, but we both wan't to be more than just friends. The thing is, we are both a little hesitant to start 'dating' (we kinda skipped that one) because we don't want to make things awkward, and lose our friendship.
Let me mention that I'm 18, and have never had a girlfriend before. (so I really have no idea what I'm doing) I try to break a few barriers by putting my arm around her, holding hands, etc,
and she seems to enjoy that, but when I've talked to her about going further, she said the same thing.
On a somewhat related note, my dad's income just got reduced HUGELY, so now he wants to move 2,000 miles away from here, to try and find a better job.
So that's one more thing holding us back.
Pleeeease help me out, I'm going nuts!

Samolamobjamo answered Saturday June 28 2008, 9:57 pm: sounds to me like your 'friend' wants to be friends with benefits. which is total crap. i know that you really like this girl. but for a girl that likes holding hands with you and you putting your arm around her it means that she feels something for you. ive had the same thing with a guy but not friends with benefits. i said that i didnt want to be more that friends becuase we would mess up our relationship. i can understand it from her point of view. dont rush things. and since your moving 2000 miles away, i dont suggest that you takke things really fast becuase youll get hurt, fast.
Advicelady6798 answered Saturday June 28 2008, 9:54 pm: There is nothing to fear about being more than friends because I can tell you really like her. The only time a relationship splits when it comes to friendship is when the couple feels obligated, pressured, or confused about oneself. Don't stress about a long-distance relationship, if u both are willing to commit to it, everything will turn out fine. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
luv_nelly_06 answered Saturday June 28 2008, 6:56 pm: well , first of all...
dont rush anything , just take things slow, and if its ment to be it will be ,if she is spending all this time with you im pretty sure she likes u and will be ready for whatever your ready for ya know? im sure it can be pretty akward sometimes but just give it some time , and if you decide to take the next step, just see how it goes,,,and if you dont like the way its goin , take a step back, and if you all are true friends then thats how it wil always remain period.
memoriesxforeverx answered Saturday June 28 2008, 6:11 pm: Well if you really do have feelings for this girl,and you think that she likes you back try to go for it while you can, so you wont regret it when you move. but if you are hesitant and not sure if you like her then i would just go with the flow and keep things the way they are. also if you are thinking about asking her out, dont worry to much about the future but maybe think if you want a long distance relationship with this girl
hope i helped and good luck :] [ memoriesxforeverx's advice column | Ask memoriesxforeverx A Question ]
