    Maybe she secretly feels the same way about you, but thinks you are gay for never making a move? :p






    In all seriousness I would tell her how you feel and just go from there

    Well, first off, being a panzy is what has gotten you into this in the first place. Here's how to fix it.

    1. FAILURE-First you must accept the fact that you may fail. Failure means losing the girl as a friend.

    2. MINDSET-Second, don't think about failure when carrying out the following steps.

    3. PLANNING-Find a high ridge with a beautiful view. Maybe even overlooking a river. Google maps can be very helpful in identifying landscapes for this step.

    4. SET UP-Ask her to go on a hike with you. (preferably at sunset on a clear day)

    5. THE FOLLOW THROUGH-Hike up to the top of the ridge. She will be captivated but the scenic view and it will create a sense of romance although it may not be evident on the surface.

    6. SECURITY-Hopefully you will be near the edge of a big cliff so that she will want a sense of protection from fallling therefor she will stand close to you.

    7. THE GRAND FINALE-Following this depending your standing position and posture you need to lay one on her (this is the goal) if you don't kiss her then you have failed miserably There does not need to be any actions leading up to the kiss, just go for it. If you slip an arm around her it will give her time to think and she will think "oh i dont want to risk the friendship we have"

    Not sure the best way to go about kissing her, it will most likely be sloppily orchestrated but it will get the point across. Thats what you want. If I have to suggest anything I would just say one finger nudge up the chin (assuming she is shorter). Do it quick though! Don't give her time to think!

    By laying one on her YOU have gone too far. You have done this by acting swiftly and not given her time to prevent your actions. She either has to accept you as her boyfriend or have a very weird friendship or no friendship at all. It all depends on her. I would think she would be more likely to risk a failed relationship rather than losing you all together.

    Your Welcome :thumbsup:

    Don't forget to post an update. This should all take 1-2 weeks tops from planning to execution.

    I've had girls I've liked who also liked me, but I kept them in the "friend zone" on purpose because I knew if something happened, it wouldn't last and I'd rather just be good friends that I can have a good time with. Flirting with them for years is awesome. :D




    I say that I kept them in the "friend zone", because in the end, as the male, you need to decide if you want to go further. The girl may or may not have the same feelings for you, but you'll never know unless you take the next step. :cool:

    I was friend zoned hard with a girl for about 2 years, I told her several times that I wanted more but she saw me as a friend. Sucked at the time, and after maybe the 3rd time I told her I had feelings for her that was it. That was 5 years ago and I haven't spoken to her in 4 years.

    If she says no, you've got to believe it's not the end of the world. I was crazy about this girl and tore myself up when she turned me down, lost 20 pounds from 170 to 150 cause I had no desire to eat, just went through the motions of life for awhile. But my life is so much better than I ever imagined it could be because I moved on and started dating the girl who is now my wife.

    If it doesn't work out, you will still be alive and you will move on and find someone else. Hard to believe it where you're at now but I've been there too and you'll get over it.

    Or she'll say yes and you can hit it every night!
