Heyy :) i'd like your advice guys, i know it's long so persevere! and thanks for any comments... I've known this girl since just before christmas and i've always thought she was really pretty and everyone know's she is. I then found out she went out with one of my now closest friends about a year ago before i knew him well. We get on great and i've recently wanted to take things on from just knowing each other well. I'm pretty new to this sorta stuff though so i'm not sure how to go about it :P

I would definately talk to my mate before taking anything further...

I told another one of my friends that i liked her recently and he said that we would look really good together so i'm not sure if she's out of my league...

I then found out that she broke up with my close friend about a year ago because she didn't want to be in a relationship...

I really do like her and i can see us being together but she lives a while away... she goes to a school nearby so i see her occasionally and we go to the same parties... but neither of us have been with anyone for a long time... i was in the state where i didn't want to be in a relationship up until recently... Any advice on how i can try to show her how i feel without ruining my chance by scaring her away with thoughts of a relationship? thanks :)

thanks 'Puzzle Solver' :) nice dp btw ;D can't go wrong with Angus Young! ;D

My mate's dated other girls since her too so i'm sure he'll be fine :)

i'm going to a music fest in a month and she's going, we're camping next to each other so i'll try to move things on when we're there (Y)

Be upfront about it, and tell her you really like her, but don't tell her how you feel about your thoughts on dating someone your close buddy used to date. Instead, after (and only after) you start dating her, tell your buddy you don't want any sour feelings between he and yourself. Tell him you genuinely really like her, and that you realize it's been a year since they dated anyway, so you were thinking that the timing might be okay now. He'll most likely understand, since it seems she didn't want to be with him for whatever reason at the time, anyway. Don't tell him this part, but maybe she was waiting for someone else, such as yourself, who she might feel better being with, to come along. She may have felt he wasn't the right person to be with altogether, so go for it.
