From a female point of view, the worst thing for a guy to do is try and make me jealous...so I wouldn't even go there if I thought he was into someone else. If a guy was interested in a girl, wouldn't it be nice if he just asked her out for a drink, cinema, meal etc....then if she refused then she isn't interested in a romantic sort of way. But if she was interested then she would definately make an effort to spend some quality time with you on her own. So you have to put your neck out on the line for this one.

babewithbrains agony auntWell - you could try spending more time with her, maybe invite her to a cafe or something, and if she responds, then maybe it could work.

Remember, if you want to love her as a girlfriend, you have to be loyal and when you break up, you have to be on speaking terms. Don't cheat.

So, give it a go, if she dissaproves then at least you can have a laugh about it in a few years time.

All the Best,

Sounds to me like you feel comfortable with this girl because you know her so well, and she's become a focus of your sexual feelings because she's a lot less scary than a stranger. Consider the following: would your families accept this or have they brought you up as an 'almost' brother and sister and would think it was shocking? Would you still fancy her if you didn't know her? If you got with her and it didn't work out, would it make your life really difficult? After all, you must see her and her family most days. That's what would worry me most. Good luck.

She'll probably either REALLY want you too, or else she "just doesn't see you in that way" and she probably won't ever change about it any time soon.

The only thing you can do to help yourself or find out is let her think some other girl is crazy about you and then see how she reacts to it. If she seems to have a surprisingly bad mojo towards this other girl, that's a tip-off that she wants you too and it's jealousy. (But be careful because she might hide it well.)
