Maybe her best friend is afraid that you will steal her friend from her and is feeling a bit jealous of your relationship.  You need to reasure her so how about  "I know you are a good friend to X(the name of the girl you like) and I hope you will condsider me as your friend too".  Incidentally do you have a friend  who might be interested in your girl's friend so she doesn't feel left out in the cold!?

Just go up to her and start talking. She may like you to and waiting for you to make the first move. If she is your friend already then you two have things to talk about. Ask her to go skating or someplace that may not sound like a serious date but when you are out with her be nice like real date. He who snoozes looses and if you don't ask her out someone else will. ☺

do you talk to her a lot? because you need to make sure you are friends FIRST and foremost!! if not, that date will be awkward! and if something ends up ending a dating relationship, you truly can go back to being friends (but that wont happen..im optimistic!)

if she is your BEST FRIEND, tell her how you feel. tell you don't want to put her in an awkward situation, but that you need to let her know, for your own sanity at the very least. being your best friend, she may be able to accept you even if you like her, but she may also turn away from you. remember that whatever you do, you risk your friendship with her. if she does decide that she likes you back, then great! on one last note, DO NOT TELL HER IF SHE IS IN A RELATIONSHIP.

to be honest with you my best friend is a girl..... we live in one apt.... and we do most of the things that you do.... we even walk naked infront of each other but the thing is that everything is very clear with our relationship..... we love each other to death but we know that we cant be more than just friends.... however.. yours can be the same understanding as mine.... at times we tend to forget why we can be so comfortable with friends.... and that there is nothing more.... no malice..... in this instance .... your feeling towards her is that you want more to be friends.... however you are not certain if she does feel the same way however her actions doesnt speak for it... what you have to consider is that .... are you willing to take the risk of loosing a friend should it happen that its only a one way street???? hence.... if your feelings are really strong you need to do it as gently and as fast as possible..... ask her for a casual date and ask her these questions.....\n\n1. what is your ideal guy.....? with this you can decern if it is close to being someone like you...\n2. have you found him??\n3. what makes him different? this will solidify your search....\n4. if all of it fits you then...\n\ntell her that you are ending this friendship ... i want more out of our friendship.. i want to take you out as my date not as my friend......\n\n5. if you seem that there is a different one tell her that you are happy for her.... but then again you just have to be honest... tell her everything......but before that... make a pact before you reveal you intimate feelings you will still be her best friend....

Not good business to date your friends exs.  Tell him you feel like he has cross the line of your friendship, because he use to date your best friend.

ugh. thats reallly tricky. its sorta against the "friendship code" yeah....but it just depends on whether the friend hes been with cares and how close you and her are.....and if she's fine with it, then go for it....and if she's not....you have to judge on ur own how important that friendship is to you.

I was just going to tell you that it was not a good idea to date your friend, because you run the risk of loosing your friend.  Friends are much harder to come by.  I hope you two can bridge the gap between you so  you can salvage the friendship.  Good luck to you!

You should probably have a talk with her, your friend.  Tell her that you guys are friends and that she means the world to you.  Be as gentle as you can in telling her that you just don't feel that way towards her right now.  If it's meant to be, then it will.  If you like this girl Summer, then by all means ask her out.  Just don't parade her in front of your friend, that will pour salt on the wound.

b4 asking her out, talk to you're friend.  if he's ok with you dating her, then go for it. but if not then you should just stay as friends, you wouldn't want to loose a friend over a girl.  a girl you probably wont stay with forever.  will it be worth loosing a friendship?  it's obvious she likes you but she's probably still has feeling for the other guy so it's not a good time to move in anyway

that's tough to say, if u didn't tell ur friend that u liked this girl and then asked her out, then how do you think ur friend will react? u may lose ur freindship over this girl so ask yourself...is she worth it? if yes then by all means ask her out\nlet me say though there are a lot of girls out there and she won't be the only one you'll like but your friend is unlike any other and he may stick around for a long

Are you sure you want to date a old friend? If so then it should be real easy for you to talk to them and ask the worse that can happen is that you are turned down and are liked better as a friend and that's not loosing either I know it will kind of be strange at first but that's the chance you have to take if you really want to go out with this person. GOOD LUCK

I have been in this situation, and it is very hard to deal with, esp if you were into the guy before he got together with your friend!\n\nAll I can say is keep your feelings buried for now - it wouldnt be any good to let either of them in on houw you feel, because that would just ruin your friendships. Who knows, given time you may move on, meet the guy of your dreams and suddenly all feelings for your friend's guy will be out the window (it happened for me!). Otherwise, it may not work out between the two of them, in which case ONCE THE DUST HAS SETTLED (its important to wait until it is well and truly over for both of them, or someone will end up hurt) you will be free to see how he feels about you. \n\nIf you do end up dating him though, make sure your friend is okay with the idea, as I have also been in the position where my ex ended up dating two of my friends - weirdly enough, I was fine about it when he dated my best friend soon after we broke up, in fact I set them up, but by the time he dated the other friend a good while later, it drove me mad seeing them together, and it made me realise I wasn't over him at all (but thats a whole other story!).\n\nThe last thing I will say though - while I repeat it woud be a bad idea to tell either of them about your feelings right now, one thing that really helped me through everything (both being the one with feelings for my friend's guy and seeing my ex date my friends) was having another friend whom I trusted completely and who knew everyone concerned but wasn't part of the group so much. I was able to tell him everything that was going on in my head and getting my feelings out really helped me to get over them - keeping your feelings to yourself with no outlet will not help you move on, it will only intensify them. So tell someone whom you trust not to blab, even if its only your diary!!!\n\nGood luck, and if you need a chat, get in touch any time!\n\nJoji x

YOUR FRIEND MIGHT FEEL A LITLE WIERDED OUT, BUT EXPLAIN TO YOUR FRIEND THAT YOU STILL WANT THE FRIENDSHIP AND YOU RESPECT THE FRIENDSHIP. YES YOU MAY LIKE THIS PERSON BUT YOUR FREINDSHIP MEANS MORE TO YOU
