TomWilkinson agony auntIf you are really good friends then letting him know what you want will not change anything, you have already made the first steps, and it sounds like the feeling might be reciprocated. when you are alone, simply try stroking his arm or hand, if he lets you, it's very clear he wants the same! xx

Before my wife met me, she had a good friend at work. They would talk a lot and flirt some and finally decided to date. They dated for a few months and then broke up. She remembers that the friendship then pretty much ended and she only talked to him when she needed to because of the job. However, she remembers that it was a nice relationship, one of the best that she had. At least he was one of the guys that cared for her.

I agree with the first poster that if it ends then you will probably lose a good friend, but it might work out. It will also probably be a good relationship, even if it doesn't last. The fact that you are good friends will probably mean that you will both care for each others feelings. I would say go for it if you don't mind losing him as a friend if it doesn't work out.

Collaroy agony auntHi,

he's probably thinking exactly the same thing you are. Problem for both of you is that you are good mates so neither of you want to ruin the friendship by coming on to the other.

But this is easily resolved, find a way to spend time together where it's just the two of you without your friends getting in the way.

If you two are close already, surely you can find a way to let him know that you want your relationship to move to another level. If your friends say they think he fancies you chances are that he does.

But the key here is to start spending time together, just you two. It will be easier to broach the subject without friends in the background teasing you.

What the hell, just go out and get drunk together , nature will follow its course !
