Should I?

One of my close friends just had a rotten end to a relationship. The guy made advances and she (my friend) responded and after a while she really fell for him but then the guy dumped her. Now we (me and my friend) will be coming to the same university and I really care for her. I want to make a move but I'm afraid the timing is very bad and she could do better with just having me as a caring friend. What do you think? Am I just being overly sensitive?

At the moment, I wouldn't suggest making a move. Maybe later. You don't want to be the rebound guy even if she does say yes.

Take advantage, it will be a good chance to slide in, possibly.

Just be nice to her and a bit flirty but not too much. When I broke up with my boyfriend, I was very sad and everything but I still thought it would have been nice if guys had been a bit more present. Girls like to be lattered, even if they've just gone out of a serious relationship. She might not be ready for anything to happen yet but at least she'll feel good if she sees that she's still attractive.

The break up was late last month. But I wont be seeing her till late september, since she's gone overseas. It's a long period, but I'm in regular contact with her through msn n email.

It's up to you, based on the following choice. Are you happy with your close friendship, is being there for her and her being in your life in any capacity at all good enough for you? Or do you think that risking that security for something more is a risk worth taking? And if so, are you prepared to never speak to her again? Because if she snubs you, through sheer awkwardness that's the worst that can happen. I took the gamble once and lost, but I didn't count on losing one of my best friends. Just be aware of what I wasn't.

By the way, be prepared to be accused of taking advantage of the situation, no matter how good your intentions.

Just tell her simply that you think shes wonderful blah blah blah, the other guy has missed out, i.e suggesting that u might have feelings for her. this will make her feel better about herself as well as hopefully making her see that ur interested, and it kind of leaves the ball in her court.
