Will I ruin our friendship if I ask him out first?

A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

A simple one really. A guy I like seems to exhibit all the signs of being into me - dilated pupils, unnecessary physical contact, teasing, lots of talking, grooming around me, etc.

Just all that stuff.

Yet he hasn't asked me out, and I haven't asked him out either, because I am nervous to. I am afraid of being wrong and ruining the friendship. Is this what he is feeling too? How do I overcome this and just ask him out? And what if I misread all the signals?

TheRealMorningStar agony auntHe groom's, he touches you, he smiles at you but he is doing just that, and I think, nothing more. If he is into you, he will more times often than not ask you out. You are young and why waste time wondering?! Talk to him about what you're feeling. Next time he is flirty and cutesy, ask him if he's flirting. Use a Segway into the conversation but just find the way to talk. You'll feel better...he may wonder too. Once you've done that, you're on your way to being a strong, communicating woman. Good luck!

Something along this line: there is a great film in the odeon this week I would love to see. If he is interested he should catch the cue, if not then I would say he is not interested.

N91 agony auntYeah possibly.

Would you rather take the jump and possibly get together? or wonder what if for the rest of your life and get upset seeing him get together with other girls?

Life is too short not to take a gamble.

Ivyblue agony auntCool. My tip would be to ask him out casually. Something like " hey, fancy catching a movie on Saturday?" and see whee that takes you. I mean ,friends do ask friends out regardless of gender right. If he says no, or what ever just shrug it off with a casual and smiley " no worries, another time maybe?". If not, you can see how the night progresses from there. If you go early enough then you have a good chance of then going out after for something to eat too. Good luck. Take a chance
