    Ok so i really like this girl at my school. After i became friends with my friend's girlfriend, this crush of mine startted to talk to me (my friends gf and her are friends). Weve been pretty good friends for a couple months now. Just right away i felt i could open up to her, and she seem comfortable with me, plus shes really cute!

    the bad thing is that she has a pretty good relationship with this guy. now this guy is very strange. hes one of those asshole redneck guys whose a jerk to everyone, making fun of my hippie ways on many occasions. and his eyebrows are waaaay out of control.

    now i have come think she might like me a bit. my reasons include:
    -right when we started talking she would tell me how boring he is.
    -she gets mad at him and has a talk with him when he makes fun of me
    -she does touch me alot like on the shoulder and nudges me with her foot

    just seems like she as a little something for me, but i could just be a little giddy. my friends gf is supporting me and helping anyway she can. now i just want some advice to maybe for her to look my way a bit more. i dont want to manipulate anyone, i want it to be her choice. well, maybe play on jealousy a bit, but nothing serious.

    if this is confusing in any way, just ask me to clarify, i kind of wrote it in a hurry :) thanks

    Ok first of all, if you are trying to get with your friend's gf, that is way not cool dude.

    If you do that, he has every right to beat your ass, especially since you said that you and he are friends.

    Also, I wouldn't assume that she likes you. For one it sounds like you are going down the "just friends" path.

    Secondly, all your reasons for why she might like you aren't very clear. Plus there are some types of girls that are just like that with ALL guys, especially their BF's friends, just because they love the attention.

    no no no no, im not trying to get with my friends gf, i would never do that. maybe it would be more clear with names.


    my friend- jeremy
    my friends gf (jeremy)- holly
    my crush- katie
    crused redneck bf- ben

    hope that makes it more clear.

    but you do make sense with the just friends path. but im a little sick of that. every girl i get close to is just looking to be friends. in no way am i ungrateful for hers and all the other friendships i have made. but i really feel strongly for this girl

    Ok thanks for clearing the names up.


    but no dude, I hear you completely with that last paragraph. It has happened to me before.

    I think the best way to avoid the friendship path is to be more direct with her. I think you need to approach this girl one day with the sole purpose of finding out whether she is really into you or not, crystal clear.

    and for me, the only way I have ever been able to accomplish that is to just ask.

    If she is, then woo hoo you guys will be good to go.
    If not, then the friendship will probably be ruined, unless it is particularly strong.

    Weigh it out and see if you want to take the risk, bro.

    yeah, its just the whole thing with her bf ben. but holly has told me they are kind of on and off, so i'll just be there for katie when ben does something stupid. so she can see im caring and all that good stuff. id like to be more direct, but i cant really now, not until the moment is right.

    sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together

    hopefully that happens for you!

    well, when that moment comes, present yourself not only as a friend, but as something more.
