A female , anonymous writes:

In pevious questions, I said that I wanted ideas on regaining someones trust, well it seems that the person I was texting was not the person in question.

Anyway my dilemma is that the guy in question I have actually spoken to him and said to him I like him and he was well impressed that I had the courage to tell him this, but now I am scared to tell him I want friendship from him in case he thinks I am tring to pounce on him (excuse the term).

I do not want to do anything to risk my chance with this guy becuase he is well worth it.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do?

Telling him I like him was a big step for me, but it's just the wanting of advice on how to say I want to be friends with him, without sounding desperate.

Thanks in advance

well that a hard one because im in the same way and its hard to tell that person but you are not sure how that person is going to react to you question so the best is just tell him how you feel and maybe it might work for me it never work but im sure it will work for you

Ponungalungb agony auntI think I responded to your previous question . . . correct me if I'm wrong. I think I mentioned something about communication.

Now, you tell us that you like him, but are afraid to tell him that you want to be friends. What is he saying? I think the fact that you told him you like him puts the ball in his court. If he likes you, he'll call you, or want to talk to you. You build a friendship just by talking with each other. Duh.

Why do I get the impression that you are in junior high school or something? You need to talk to each other. . . it's that simple.

Good luck!

claire_x100 agony aunti Dont think you can sound desperate asking to be friends. You have told him you like him did he say he liked you back? If you havent got to know this person you normally get to know them by being friends. I wouldnt ask just act like friends, if he says about goin out then explain you want to be friends for now. It will just naturally happen just start chatting to him im sure it will work out and fall all into place . Good Luck.
