Stroller agony auntDo you touch him at all? You know, when you're talking, maybe touch his arm? If you hug, then it's easy to let your hands wander.

Guys aren't good at "subtle". The best way to get a guy to recognise that you like him is to take out a full-page advertisement in his favourite periodical. Actually, that's a really good idea - I used to read every freakin' classified in Hang-glider Magazine - a one-liner saying "Stroller, I want to be your girlfriend, X" would've been just teh ultimate!

In all seriousness, kissing him is probably the most appropriately subtle way of moving this to the next level. He probably feels exactly the same way about you, but likewise fears rejection. Maybe this is just a guy's view, but I feel that women hold all the power here - he risks a slap if he takes the initiative, but when have you ever heard a guy complain about a girl coming on to him?

vicctoriaaa agony auntaww :)

well maybe you could try flirting with him if you don't already or you could tell a trusted friend and ask them to ask him if he likes you, if you don't want to do that, you could maybe just face your fears and tell him how you feel. the worst that could happen is that he could say he doesnt like you and just stay friends!

you know, most relationships don't happen because both people are too afraid to say that they like each other.

good luck :)

superbunny agony auntThis is one thing I will always stand by: As much as you like him + if he likes you, if he is your friend + you decide to take it to the next level + have him as a boyfriend you need to understand that almost definately your relationship will never be the same again. It is exceptionally difficult to go back to just being friends after you have dated - so you REALLY need to question your heart - is it worth losing him as a friend? Sorry to be negative - I just don't want you to get hurt.

But, if you decide to go for it try gently flirting with him, don't come on too strong because if he only wants friendship not only will you be embarassed, he migh run a mile! Hope this helps... Good Luck! :] x
