Her brother is always saying that she does and she instantly says she doesn't and "that there is no way".The main problem is that her brother is my best friendand I think it would be weird to go out with her. I'm also friends with her (I think she pretends not to care about it though) and worried that asking her out and being rejected would ruin that. Of course, I'm also nervous about doing that and how her parents would react. One adores me and acts like my grandma and the other seems to joke too much as though he thinks I'm evil!!! Please help. I've felt like this for months and want something to happen before she doesn't like me.desperate guy

Ok, so she says "No way" about the idea that she likes you and you also think it would be quite odd to go out with her? Why? Because her brother is your best mate? That wouldn't be odd if you really liked each other. You may be interpretating things right in thinking she may like you and just says she doesn't because she feels embarrasssed and doesn't wish to admit how she feels.If you ask her out it doesn't have to ruin your friendship. Say to her that you really like her and would love to take her out sometime but that if she doesn't want that, you want to remain friends with her, you don't want her to feel uncomfortable with you. Say that you find her attractive and that you would like to spend some time with her. That would be okay to say.In terms of her parents, this does depend on your ages. They may be protective of her but you would have to show that you are mature and just want her to be happy, that you just want to be close friends with her.If she likes you, all will be fine no matter what she says. She won't suddenly stop liking you overnight.Take the bull by the horns and ask her out on a friendly date.Good luck.
