The idea of hanging out with this friend is just awkward! Why?

A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Will be visiting a couple good friends soon which is great because it's been a lonely time over here. However, they also mentioned inviting another friend of ours as well. This girl is one that I liked, possibly obviously liked to others, but I never took initiative with her.

The problem with her is that I actually wasn't really sure if I liked her or not. I was and have been a lonely guy, and I loved being around her. I just wasn't sure if my feelings were for her or based on loneliness. In any case, she didn't really seem much interested in me aside from us being friends. Unlike the couple friends I am visiting, we haven't really kept in contact with each other.

Part of me is sort glad she will be around while I'm visiting that week, but the other part isn't really for it. It's hard to explain. The idea of hanging out with her is that it just seems awkward. I don't know...It's just too confusing.

Ugh...she's just another friend, so why am I having trouble thinking of her as I do my other friends?

So break the ice and make your move this time.

If I'm getting this correctly then your friends have invited only you and her over. If these friends are a couple then they may well be trying to set you up. If I'm wrong and they're inviting a few people not just the two of you then I would definitely make a move this time anyway.

OP you have nothing to lose, you're not really in contact, you're not all that close so you lose nothing if you make a move and it doesn't work out, so just do it this time.

You have no real reason to feel awkward other than the fact you never actually went for it.
