writes:My friend saw me get hurt and messed around in a bad relationship which I finally ended about 9 months ago. I'm completely over it - it really should have ended almost 2 years ago. But my friend seems to think I need another year or 2 of being single. So I haven't actually mentioned to her that I've been (unsuccessfully) dating lately. She has this (male) friend who I kind of like and she's told me he really likes me too but that she warned him off chasing me because I'm not ready. I haven't seen him since then, we normally meet up in group situations and lately I've been busy when they've planned them, but I'll be seeing him tomorrow night. Now I'm happy to slowly get to know him better and see what happens, in fact I prefer things to go that way after an initial attraction, but what can I do if she's scared him off me completely?

All you have to do is smile and flirt and touch his arm lightly when you are talking to him, maybe hold his gaze a little longer than comfortable and he will have his heart all a flutter.
Don't worry about your friend, she will lighten up when she sees you happy.
