writes:I have a uni friend who I flirt playfully with quite a lot. I am a guy and she is a girl, and she always jokes about me 'being her boyfriend' or a future husband. I wouldn't say we are ultra close friends, which is how I like it, as I would actually love to date her. The problem is, we are so playful, it is difficult to suddenly be serious. As a little in-joke, I text her a cheesy pick-up line every day, because she told me she likes my jokes. What is a nice way of leaving the jokes aside and telling her that I actually like her?

 I dont really think there is any 'nice' way of doing it, if you make a grand gesture it will be a bit cheesy, whereas if you do it over text it is too impersonal.
When you are next alone with her, I'd just say to her (in a serious voice) something like this 'putting all the jokes aside, I genuinely like you and I would love to take you out on a proper date. Are you free on xxxxx?'
Face to face is always best, tone of voice is lost over email or texts so try and do it in person. Dont meet up with her though and declare your undying love for her and write a poem for her either - just look into her eyes, be serious for a few minutes and simply tell her you like her and would like to take her on a date.
