My friend

I've been friends with this girl for a long time and I would like 2 turn it into more but I'm afraid that if I try to do something that would turn it into more we would lose our friendship.
I need advise on what I should do.

this is one of those common difficult situations and to be honest I dont think there is any set advise for this problem- it can go down two paths..either a good ending or bad ending.I was in a similar situation and I hope this doesn't deter you from what you want to do but the ending for me wasn't really sweet..we used to be good friends although we didn't know each other for long (met him at first year of uni and about 5 months later we got together).you really need to assess the friendhsip you have with this girl..that's what me and my ex did..he brought it up but said at the same time he was scared that if it didn't work out then our friendship probably would't be the same..but personally I think that only depends on how the relationship ended..if it was a mutual agreement then you could maybe return to the level of friendship you had before.I think my advise is for you to talk to the girl (be brave about it!) and see how she feels.I hope this helps..I know this situation isn't clear cut..as same with this advise but if you know in your heart that when you get with her..it will be better than the freindship you have then you should go for it..if not I don't think its wise to.good luck!

I'm having the same problem here ..I like my guy friend and im trying to find answers to this situation but truth is it can be very frustrating..I guess the first step would be to subtly find out if she likes you the same way...some ways to tell she likes you are:She dislikes you talking about other girls -she seems jealous when she sees you talking to another girl.- she always tries to sit next to you -she wants to hang out with you quite a lot -she respects you -she spends more time on her appearance -she always seems happy when you two hang out and she is usually caught smiling -she talks about you a lot to her other friends -she compliments you on your apeearance -she doesnt talk about other Guys when you are with her -she gases in your eyes with love -she treats you differently then the way she treats her other friends..etc...if this sounds a lot like her then there is a good possibility that she likes you !! I know the signs b/c this is usually the way I act when I like a guy...anyways ...you definately have an "in'' here if she is demonstrating these traits...Just take it slow with her continue being friends with her and Just let things happen naturally between you two..dont rush it ...
