writes:I'm having a lunch "date" with a really good friend of mine in a couple of weeks. We haven't seen each other in over four months. We get along great and we talk and laugh a lot and frankly enjoy each other's company. We email frequently and also talk on the phone. He is not married nor has a gf.I am having some serious feelings for him, but am terribly shy. I have noticed he has been flirting with me, both in person and through email, but he is really shy as well. Can anyone tell me how to act during our lunch to give him hints that I want to take our friendship to the next level without actually telling him? (I'm afraid to come right out and say in case it would ruin our friendship). I'm also thinking of asking him to the movies while I'm in town as well. Is that a good idea or does anyone have anything better?

 First the movie -- why not? Go for it! I would recommend something that's more in line with the mood you want to set -- something romantic (or at least not as explosive as the new James Bond movie).
As far as flirting at lunch without being overt about it? ...this is a clear case of body language and using it to your advantage. Go search body language on Google and you've fine more than enough clues on what the non-verbal queues are to expressing interest. The first one that comes to mind in this situation is to sit forward and lean into the table -- it expresses interest and affection without having to say so... it closes the distance between you and shows you interested (otherwise, you'd be sitting back and not expressing interest, right?)
Best of luck!!
