How do I get my female friend to risk it and date me?

Tagged as: Dating, Friends<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (20 April 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 20 April 2007)
A male United States age 36-40, *onfusedlvr writes:

I have a close friend who I developed feelings for, and I really think she's the one. I've tried asking taking her out on dates, but she doesn't want to risk our friendship. There is an attraction there, but how do I get over that barrier and possibly get her to give me a chance to see what dating would be like. We go out to dinner and movies or concerts often, but I want a little more of a physical friendship/relationship.

Please help.

A female reader, Princess73 Bahamas +, writes (20 April 2007):

I think you should respect her decision not to date and just be friends. Tip: limit the time you interact with her (ie: give her and you some space), then, try to get your mind off her (for dating). See what other fish are in the water. In the end, what is most important to you? A true friendship or nothing? By going out and seeing who else is out there, you may just realize she really wasn't your type for a "dating relationship". You may find the right gal for you. Trust me, I'm 33 yrs old and have been there done that :)
