Girl Problems

I shall summarise what the problem is so you can help me quickly!

. Girl I've known for a year been good friends, until last week I decided I wanted it to be more.

. So I've been thinking of asking her out

. I've got the prom coming up next week so Im gonna ask her to the prom through and give her a box of choclates (ferroro rocher).

. I got my friend to ask her some questions without her getting to suspiscous basically I find out that:

a) she will go to the prom with me
b) she fancy's one of my aquaintances (sp?).

His advice is to ask her to the prom, and then leave it for a few weeks, see whats happening with her crush and then ask her out.

Should I follow his advice, or should I do something else like ask her out while I give her choclates tomorrow?

Thanks for the help.

Ply her with the chocolates then hit her with the questions; she'll be taken my surprise, guard down and then you attack using the pinsor movment (metaphorically of course).

If she fancies your mate though, you're buggered, unless she was lieing to your friend and secretly wants you :O

Only way to know for sure is risk hurt and ask her.

If you really like her, you have to tell her how you feel. Otherwise you'll never know. Be careful how you play it, but don't wait too long :smile:

Urrrrr proms I'm fed up with ours! Not only does my tux not fit (it's had to go back for adjustments *tuts*) but I got asked out to the prom by a girl and I had to say NO, so me being all soft felt guilty and horrid for days.

Anyway, my advice:-

1. Chocolates - No, no, no, no & NO. Such a cliche. You'd be best asking her if she wants to go out to lunch or just take her for a coffee.
2. Whilst eating/drinking coffee, tell her you like her more than just a friend and that you'd like to go to the prom with her. Make it clear it's not an obligation. Say something like "I'm not sure if you feel the same, BUT...."

Something like that. Good luck!

dude, we like chocolate.

especially milk tray :redface:


Meh, chocolates are a cliche. It shows incredible lack of originality. Milk Tray....no, hunny, just no.

Flowers are worse than chocolates too.

"Doing lunch" or "coffee" is the best way to do it. Gifts aren't needed.

I'm afraid its gonna have to be the choclates cause I'm doing it in college.

How should i say tell her that I like her? I'm liking the 'I'm not sure if you feel the same, BUT....'

Also how do I tell her its not an obligation to go out withme since I'm taking her to the prom.

Also do I ask her out in front of her friends (who are my friends) or do I take her to the side and do it.

It's fine to say you like her, just tell her you like her (I've done it with ppl before, it's really easy). Go with the 'I'm not sure you feel the same, BUT' setup.

You don't tell her it's not an obligation - you just phrase it so that she doesn't feel pressurised.

Don't say: "Yeah prom soon I'd like to take you, yeah?"
Do say (if she says she likes u too - don't go straight in with the prom stuff):

"Seen as we both seem to feel the same, would you like to go to the prom with me?"

Thanks!

But I'm still confused :rolleyes:

So I should:

1)tell her that I like her
2)Ask her to the Prom
3)Give her the choclates
4) Ask her if she wants to go watch a movie sometime?

My question is what if she says that she doesn't have the same feelings for me?
What should I say in reply to maintain our friendship and should I ask her to the prom just as friends? If she doesnt have the same feelings?

Thanks

if she says she doesn't have the same feelings, then fair enough - just say, "okay. are you still comfortable going to prom with me as friends then?"


No, because that's pointless. The girl who asked me out to the prom said "ok well shall we just go as friends?". I didn't want to as it would just have been crap for me as I don't even like her anyway (as a person!).

To the original poster, you would be best asking her to the cinema BEFORE you tell her you like her. After the cinema go for a drink or something to eat (and I don't mean KFC, Maccy D's chav'in it up yea m8 lolozz) - somewhere nice. Then perhaps say you like her and ask her if she feels the same. THEN proceed onto the prom stuff depending on the outcome of your question.

I'm gonna ask her tomorrow, no offense I dont really see the whole the point in this cinema business, where already friends so I'm sure I could say tell her how I feel straight to her face without messing around.

Ok how should I tell her that I like her:

a)I'm not sure if you fell the same but I like what I see, so I was wondering if you want to get together and do something sometime?

b)I'm not sure if you fell the same but I really really like you and i know you care about xyz but your worth it blah blah - basically saying everything that I feel.

I think A is a better option and there is less chance of rejection.

um..is that bit in A giving the right impression?
maybe B minus that middle bit

Put it this way: I would NOT be impressed with A.

You would actually give a girl ferroro rocher? That's on about the same level as proposing on daytime tv, for gods sake get something better than that. Nothing from Thorntons, that tastes like **** too. Half a dozen nice chocolates from a proper chocolate shop will go down much better, and costs the same.

And never say "I like what I see" unless you want a slapping. B is much better.

Another vote for B!!!
A sounds so... lame...
