Question - (7 October 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 October 2012)

Long story cut short, basically, I fancy my best friend.

We've been friends for about a year now and I know there's been a point where he's liked me but I've shrugged it off(found it strange!). And a time where I've been secretly infatuated with him whilst he's dated another girl.

So we've both got terrible timing! However now, I really think the feeling is mutual.

As friends, we share the same humour and can be very close in terms of confiding to each-other. But now I'm finding that we barely talk now from the sexual tension, it's so awkward. I hate it because I miss talking to him and spending time together as friends however I want more than that. We both do.

He goes out of his way to compliment me, comfort me and even sometimes to even escort me to places! It's great but than he tends to back off when I don't respond quickly to e.g.his texts. He'll blank me for a week because he thinks I'll reject him again.

How do I get him to ask me out?

A female reader, aunt honesty Ireland +, writes (8 October 2012):

aunt honesty agony auntWhy should he be the one to ask you out? You ask him out, it is obvious you both like each other, but his confidence was dented in the past when you rejected him, so it is now your turn to ask him out and tell him how you feel or else you will just be waiting about, go for it, you have nothing to lose!

You should just tell him how you feel because he once was in the same situation as you!and I'm sure he would understand what you are going through.Tell him how you feel, you never know he might still feel the same way.
