honesty hurts, bad. but, it usually works out ofr the best. try withdrawing from her and the things you do together. its not going to be easy but it will be best for both of u

I don't feel as if she is a friend to you.  But "you" know if she is or not because you are around her.  It is very ironic that everyone who you've seemed to have liked she likes to and has been physical with them in some way. I feel as if no "so called" friends should fall out over a guy.  Stick to having a "true friend" someone who doesn't like who you like knowing that you like them.  You aren't losing to your friend sweetheart because as long as you know that she is liking who you like try not to be around her because a true friend wouldn't keep on doing this to you.  This has happened to me but the situation was different.  Eventhough I don't know you I'd like to become your friend or get to know you because we have something in common even if I only give you my opinions or advice.  I wish you the best and if you don't continue to be friends with her don't let it be over the guys let it be because of how she is treating you.

Dude, hang in there. Women have a habit of changing their minds about once a week. So stay as charming and bright as possible with her, just joke around with her and be her friend, and dont pressure her or ask her if she likes you. Trust me, just cause she told your friend this does not mean too much, go with the flow.

best thing to do is to start going to group things. i suggest church outings b/c the girls aren't going to be incredibly rude or judgemental. start with girls you DON'T want to date. sounds weird? maybe...but it works. if you start out with someone whom you're just wanting to know as a friend...perhaps you can learn a few things about women in general...then when you DO find someone to date it'll be a lot easier! IM or email for more info. take care and God bless!

Seems like she isn't interested right now, just try to be more casual and try to build on a friendship, because she might be one of those girls who can't really date someone until they've been friends, I know I like to know a guy a little before even considering dating them. Just talk to her more, and don't seem so desperate to get a date with her, most girls don't find that attractive, she might start to think you're a stalker or a weirdo, just act yourself and wait, if it's meant to be it will happen eventually.

Rock and a hard spot there aren't you? So you have a crush and a friendship and a co-worker all wrapped up into one.  How much have you actually learned about her? Other than what movies and food she likes?\nWhen you are having dinner is it general conversation that you could talk to your buddy about? Or does it go into what simular interest and goals you have? How sure are you of the hints she gives, or is she just a very caring individual who think of you like a brother who gets where she is coming from, enjoys doting on as the maintaing friendships side and meanwhile enjoys the attention you are giving her.  \n\nThe last thing you want to be to her is someone she needs to "save" from your own situations to make you comfortable, it sounds like you are a "fun non judgmental release" for her to ease her "very busy life" as you say. \n\nYou need to test it without being a set up? Resolve that SHE IS YOUR FRIEND and she wants you to be happy, so begin seeking out other people and give yourself room to breathe before you end up in a panic attack. Ask her advice about dating, and see what kind of responses you get, at least then you will know what her rules are for being on a date date or just being out with a friend.

If she isn't aloud to date, then it sucks to be you. But you should just be her friend at first.

Guess u must be a guy. Well since uall have been fiends its not be easy, two things ur either gonna get her or loose ur friendship prob. What kinda friends were yall. Does she know ur dirt. Do u know hers. Does she like you, treat u special or diff form her other male friends. If ur not absolutely sure that she likes u, then only tell her how u feel. If ur sure she likes u then make a move. I mean ask her out on a date and just ask her how she'd feel if you fancied her on the date noy at home. \nU sound like u had sex with her, and now u caught feelings. Why are u worried where she is, or doing. What do u mean by never really dated her.\nIf u had sex with her before, or still havin it with her then ur trouble dog. Does she worry about where u are. How often do you all talk on the phone, how often does she call you, when does she call you.\n\nLate calls could mean ur prob the only one she talks to, of cares about. If she always gets of the other calls she was on when u call her then she digs u dog. \nWhen u call her late( how late is it) does she care. if she doesnt mind then she digs u men for real. Girls a more direct than us guys.\nIf she really likes u she'll devote to you only, If they wanna break up with u they'll in a minute with no hesitation.\nAssess everything ive said don't make judgements to favor ur thinkin. be unbaised in accessin. test her on all these things and see if she's into u then make ur choice

Aw you poor thing, i can see where that'd be embarassing:( if you wanna date her, go for it! (i posted a question because i have a crush on my best friend - a guy - so i know how you feel, hehe) but if you dont wanna be anything more than friends (or she doesn't) then maybe try easing off the cuddling a little bit or something...

Why do you want to stay friends with someone that tries to confuse you and it sound like she doesn't respect your feelings. If your not lesbian let her be... Its actually very bad for her to do it over and over again, not very nice person. Just let her know that if she doesn't stop your going to go you own way, she her reaction i she stops you'll know she is a true friend,

Yes.It is a way to tell you that she does not want to be your girlfriend. I am guessing that the girl in question is trying not to hurt your feelings by blowing you off completely,or she really wants to keep you as a friend but would rather date another person

The good thing is that she likes you and that's why she didn't felt offended by your approach. My opinion is that she might be taking time out to think about it a little further or for her friendship is more important than love.\nFRIENDSHIP BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN IS A BRIDGE TO LOVE...\nSo just chill and don't rush things, who knows what destiny has in store for you.

maybe you should ask her out on a date, but only as friends. go somewhere she would like to go. maybe the mall or a roller skating place, something like that. if she says "no, i don't want to go out with you, sorry", that's okay, just act cool and try to get over it. if she says yes, just keep being friends unless she makes the first move or she talks to you about being boyfriend/girlfriend.

No, don't start 'dating' her if you already don't have those feelings.  I would say you could still keep hanging out as friends, but once it turns into romantic dinners and movies together and cuddling on the couch then you are starting a relationship that you might know won't go anywhere, and later on it will hurt her worse if you have to end it.\n\nOn the other hand, if you do develop feelings for her while hanging out as just friends, then I would say to go ahead and date her.  But only date a girl if you really do have feelings for her to begin with, don't start something that will eventually end later on.

Sounds like either she genuinely isn't attracted to you and just doesn't want to hurt your feeling\nor\nShe is keeping you on standby in the hope someone elses comes along (hence the jealousy when she thinks you may be 'slipping away' with someone else)\nor\nYour the kind of guy that gals see themself marrying but want to play the field a bit more.\n\nOne of those is the most likely and if you think you spot one then\n1 Accept she isn't attracted to you and if it's nothing you can 'work on' (gross obesity, bad breath...) then direct your affections elsewhere\nor\nDecide how important your self respect is v's your passion for this girl.  Maybe force the issue to the front by actually dating someone else (although they should be aware of the situation too so they don't get caught in the middle!)\nor\nIf she's just keeping you hanging on standby then I'd gradually cut her out - thats not a friend.\n\nEither way - there are pleanty more ladies out there and if you stop looking at just one you might surprise yourself. You may have built this imaginary romance up to unrealistic proportions?

Females are a different kind of creature all on their own. It's like if we say no, it means yes! Females believe in "romance". I think your friend is wanting more personal attention from you, without having to really ask for it. She wants it to be your own idea. So maybe she thought if she told you she needed "time", you might get scared you may be losing her, and make a quick step forward! I know it sounds silly, but like I said, we sometimes are strange! But in a good way!!! So, I think if you truly do love this lady, go out on the edge, and really show her-she's needing it!!!

a woman knows from the time she first sets eyes on you whether or not she would or would not be with you so if it's there it's there if it's not it's not so just go for it talk to her and try to get some hints to see how she feels if she gives no hints just let her know how you feel and be sweet and let her know that you don't want it to affect your friendship and she should respect dat
