ok so theres this guy and i know he likes me and i kinda like him too but were good friends and i really dont want to risk losing that. he asks me to go places with him all the time but i never do cause i think it might be kind of awkward. what can i do to make things less awkward and make sure that when we do go out its strictly as friends?? HELP!!
I say, test it out. If you like him and he likes you, why not try a relationship? Just be sure to take it slow; don't make it serious until you're both ready for that. And also make sure to establish with him, that if things don't work out, you will want to be friends.

But anyways, in order to go with your friend without feeling awkward is just to go. Hang out have fun. Just as you would at school or something. Going out with a guy to the movies or to dinner or anywhere really does not mean that you two are going out. Yes couples do that stuff together, but they hold hands, hug eachother all the time, and kiss eachother. As long as you don't encourage or go along with any action he may make then it will be fine. And of course the only way to get over this fear so-to-speak is to face it. If you tell him that you just want to remain as friends because you don't want to take a chance of ruining a really good friendship, he will most likely respect that and just keep things on the friends level. So tell him how you feel, and go for it. Hang out with him. And who knows after a couple of times, you may change your mind about the whole only friends thing and want to be his girlfriend. You never know. Well good luck [ Shaybo20's advice column | Ask Shaybo20 A Question ]
