i am a 16 year old female and I'm gay. It's a girl I like that i knew for a few years now. She's not gay though but she said she'll think about it for me. It's been a few weeks and I want to see where we stand now. i want to know if she wants to continue being friends or if she wants more from our relationship. How do i ask her this without me sounding so desperate and without making her feel forced into the situation?
WyzeLizzy answered Saturday December 19 2009, 1:03 pm: Right off the bat, I think I would take into consideration that it's been a few weeks since you discussed your interest in her.
If someone knew what they wanted, it would not take them weeks to come back with an answer.
For the sake of you not being hurt, I would let it go, but act normal around her. Don't show her its affecting you so that she wont feel any pressure from you.
I think that she might come around on her own and possibly tell you her feelings about the whole idea, whether they be good or bad. No matter what, don't lose a friend. She can be a good one whether in a relationship or not.
Good Luck to you both... [ WyzeLizzy's advice column | Ask WyzeLizzy A Question ]

She already knows how you feel about her because you went out and said it; which was the best thing. Because now there's no confusion there. Give her sometime to think about it and for now be the friend you've been since before you told her. GL [ masterclinic's advice column | Ask masterclinic A Question ]
gr8fruit answered Friday December 18 2009, 10:07 pm: Hi,
I would casually ask her if she had thought about being more than friends, and then see where it goes from there. Being casual makes you sound 'not desperate'. She won't feel forced as long as you aren't demanding an answer.
Since you have known her for a few years I am sure she will understand where you are coming from. If she says no, do not take it to the heart, just say 'okay I was just wondering' and move on in your friendship. If she says she will think about it, that probably means she is still unsure or would just like to continue being good friends. Just be yourself and no worries <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
