Hello

I have this friend (call her Tina) who is the sister of my best friend (female). I have graduelly got to know Tina since I seperated from my wife, over last 18 months and have become very fond of her and seems very close to her. We do a lot together more as a group my with my best friend and her husband. A couple of weeks ago I told her I was very fond of her, she said I am a good friend and will allways be friends but nothing more. That knocked me a bit because I thort we were very close, whenever we said good bye it was big hugs and kiss on lips, suppose I got wrong Idea.

Anyway we are still good friends she rang last weekend asking me if I will go watching football at her house( I didn't go as was busy) love her as a friend but cannot get it out of my head as still fond of her, do you think she may change her mind over time, I have backed of but don't wanna lose her as a good mate. We are going to a concert this weekend and I find it hard to see her under a different light.

AskEve agony auntI think she does only see you as a friend, for now at least. You have to pull back a bit from her for now, especially as your feelings for her are growing. Your absence might make her see that maybe you do mean more to her than she first thought, absence making the heart grow fonder.

Let her chase you a little bit more and after a while then ask her out just the two of you, watch her closely and see if you can tell from her body language whether or not she feels comfortable with you or even if she would like more than just friendship. Just because she feels that way just now doesn't mean she'll not change her mind in the future.

BEEN THERE DONE IT agony auntHi there hun,

You have to respect the fact that she values you as a very good friend and that is much better than pushing your luck and loosing her..I am not saying that given time she may see you differently but for now enjoy her company as you have been and who knows where it might lead...

Hope it all turns out the way you want but friendships are important so if this is all it amounts to enjoy her company and value her friendship, sorry hun its hard when you have different feelings than some one else isn't it?..

I have my fingers crossed for ya

Love Donna x
