Question - (24 October 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 25 October 2010)

Having a major dilemma,

Im 21. One of my closest friends was going out with this girl about 2 years ago. They went out for a year and a half and then broke up mutually. Over the duration of the relationship I became close with her and we became friends in our own right.

We met up a year after they broke up for the first time, got a bit drunk and she started telling me that she wished that she had gone out with me instead and that she wanted to be with me. She was going out with a guy for about 6 months when we went out (they are still going out). She then tried to kiss me which i avoided.

We spoke on the phone a few weeks after that but nothing was mentioned. I then sent her a message over the summer over facebook asking if she wanted to meet up. I had lost her number. She never replied.

I understand boundaries, and it wouldn't be appropriate to have a relationship with her, even though I am very attracted to her. But I still want to be friends. Should I send her another message? What should i say?

little x bear  agony auntHeyyy :)

Just keep it casual that's all you can do in that situation just ask her how shes been and whether she did want to meet up, but give it time to progress, do wait until your both comfortable with the entirety of the sitaution :)
