Should I resist all temptations and remain her friend?

A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Here's the situation that im dealing with. So a few months back i was going to get married to this girl and the day before our big day she called it off, and the day after it was supposed to happen we vroke up and she left me for another guy. I didnt know at first that she left me for someone else. So in my heart break I went to someone that would know her best, that being her best friend.

Well they grew apart right about the time that we broke up and now they kinda hate each other (has nothing to do with me) but me and her best friend have became very good friends cause of how she helped me get through the rough times that i was going through. We talk pretty much everyday and shes become one of my best friends that i have and im the only guy that she now trusts cause of how ive been there for her when she needed someone.

But i really like this girl now and would like to be more than just friends with her, however i get the feeling that if i was to ask her out that she would tell me that she just wants to be friends. Im really confused about what i should do. Shes knows that i really like her alot and that i do want more but i dont think that she wants more.

So what im asking all who reads this is " What should I do about my current situation at hand?" Should i ask her, Should I resist all temptations and remain her friend or is there somethign else that i should do?

It seems your initial instinct was quite correct then!

She wants to just be friends - so just be a friend. Don't waste time if any other opportunities come along because 'for right now' could mean 'forever'.

I would say that if she's aware that you want more than to be just good friends, by not telling you she feels the same way she is in effect letting you know that being friends is as far as she's willing to go.

On the other hand, she may be shy. Why not ask her in a hypothetical sort of way if there's any future for the two of you as a couple?

If you don't ask, you don't get, so get asking!
