Anonymous asked: i really like a friend of mine but i'm afraid to ask her out, any advice? i saw a while back you talked to a girl about relationship stuff on here and it was pretty good advice so i'm just looking for some help here.

Well I dunno the extenuating circumstances of the whole thing but in general my advice would be to just go for it. You don’t want to friend zone yourself for eternity and just live in constant admiration and never do anything about it, if you want something go get it.

Find a good time for the two of you to do something together, say you’re gonna come over to her house to watch a movie or drop off something for her, something like that. When you guys are sitting down just come out and say it, “Listen ______ I really like you a lot. I have for a while. (Feel free to put in personal reasons why you like her here, but don’t go overboard). You mean a hell of a lot to me and I’d like to be more than friends. If not, if you don’t feel the same way, I understand and respect that, but I had to get it off my chest and wanted to let you know how I felt.”

At the very least she has to respect that you had the balls to actually admit it and confront it because most dudes just tip-toe around the entire situation. If she feels the same way, you’re gucci, if she doesn’t feel the same way just be mature and respectful about it and tell her you understand and that it won’t affect your friendship. It’ll be awkward at first but you’ll get over it now as opposed to waiting and waiting and waiting and learning months or years in the future that she’s not felt the same way about you this whole time and you’ve wasted energy on someone when you could have been finding a new person to develop feelings for.

Man up and good luck.
