I'm a girl but I have listened to my friends over my heart and I regret it. Do whatever you feel is right. Good Luck!

Yes. You should just be friends first and get to know one another before having a relationship. As friends talk about interests, what you look for in the opposite sex, what you want in a relationship. Then if things seem good, go out.

ok, so i'm a girl and if a guy asked me out and were pretty good friends then i would say yes.. the thing is tho that u guys need 2 talk a lot like to each other, and then one day just pull her aside from like something and ask her the big question! soooo romantic i think!!

usually depends on the type of girl, but for me and most of my friends, someone funny, good looking and is sweet to you. and isnt a total jerk to you when he's around his friends. and doesnt mind to tell you he likes you. that just about somes it up

That can be a difficult question to answer.  There have been many songs about this subject ("Best for Last" by Vanessa Williams comes to mind).\n\nWhen I was in high school, I had a friend who liked me more that I liked her, meaning she wanted me as a boyfriend and I was not interested.\n\nWhen I asked her one day if she wanted me as a boyfriend, she wouldn't answer the question.  Her response, "What do you want me to say?"  I asked for the truth, but she wouldn't tell me.  Had she answered me truthfully, I would have told her why I only wanted to be her friend.\n\nBe careful about chasing him.  People will remember it.  I spoke to one of my high school friends over the weekend.  Her name came up and he said, "Man, she had it bad for you.  You could do no wrong in her eyes."  That was over 17 years ago.\n\nSo, first see what kind of girl your friend likes.  Are you his type?  If so, great.  If not, you have your work cut out for you.\n\nAlso, does he have a clue?  Is he naive?  Does he have any clue that the perfect girl is right there in front of his eyes?\n\nIn today's society, it is acceptable for a girl to be more forward and ask a guy for a date.  So, you may want to invite your friend for dinner or something.  Go to a place where you can be alone and tell him how you feel.\n\nBe prepared for the rejection.  He may like your friendship but doesn't want to take it to the next level.  \n\nYou have to decide if the risk is worth it.  And you can be friends if the relationship does not work out.  My 8th grade girlfriend broke my heart.  But we were best friends from grades 10-12.  \n\nGood luck!

I'm a girl. I have a few wonderful guy friends. I wouldn't know what to do without them in my life. They are my support system. They are much more sincere than some girls I know.

I have been a guy since i can remember  and when a girl asked me out I always was very impressed that she was asking me and not me asking her .  For a guy just that is most of the battle Ask very directly like hello hey I would like to know if you would enjoy a nice dinner together or whatever you prefered be blunt with men we dont like the flimsy ones.

I've had a bad experience with dating a girl that I'd been friends with. It was pretty awkward, both of us knew eachother and what we like with the exception of relationship needs. I was so used to us just being friends that I made minimal moves. Unfortunately, she believed in the man making all the moves. She eventually got bored and went after someonme else.

You not knowing what youre looking for is the best position to be in, because when you meet someone you will instinctively know whether it is worth pursuing or not. Conversation and personality will flow automatically without you judging or marking a check list and they will either push your buttons or not lol. You'll know it when you find it.

The truth. When was the last time you knew a guy that had a best freind for a girl and that girl wasn't hott. I mean come on the average guy isn't going to waste his time getting to know a girl and spending time with her if he isn't find her at least somewhat attractive. Now does that mean he would ever act on it. Well thats a dfferent question.

As they say ,,,,Men come and go , but a friend is hard to find. I wouldn't risk my Friendship over no man. To many men,,,not enough true friends,,so if you have a true friend,,choose the friend, and in my eye,s if she is a true friend and you told her how you feel about him, and why you wont date him, for fear it may cause friction between you and her, if she is a true friend,,,,,she will stay away from him also, out of respect for you!~

I live with two incredibly gorgeous and endearing women, and not to toot my own horn, but I'm a fairly attractive guy.  We've been friends for the better part of ten years.  Although I admit I fantasize about them every now and again, that doesn't really make them any different than any other attractive females.  I know I'd never want to complicate what we have as friends.

I think they want the most attractive guy to show of to their friends because all her friends have attractive boyfriends it falls under wanting something for all the wrong reasons because i played this roll before until i found out why she wanted me.but i know one of the good guys

I believe that it depends on the nature of the attraction. I mean if there is a strong emotional attachment there  it can be figured as a friendship because friends do hold a strong bond to one another, however if there is indeed a sexual attraction that is something all together different because then the sexual tension would be uncontrollable and you would end up as "friends with benefits" or girlfriend/boyfriend

It depends on the guy. I personally do, but I know friends who don't. You know by the subtle things he says and does. Just keep an eye open.
