My mates got a "female" friend who hes known for a while now, and they're both good friends, but he want to go past being just a "friend" to her and get into a proper gf/bf r/s, but he says its too awkward to confront her about it. Hes asked me to talk to her about him, but im kind of useless at being subtle so I gave up.
How do you think he should go about getting into a proper r/s?

I don't think it would be so hard. If he likes her, she would know eventually.
If he has confidence, I think the best way would be for him to just ask her out. It saves all that trouble. Most girls don't think the less of you.
Good luck.

well if he is uncomfortable arround her then it may not be a good idea, i find that sometimes when i'm arround my bf, it is kina oquard b/c you thing of them differently.
like studio said, him asking her out would suffice.
good luck!

Just say it. The easiest, and most effective way is to simply tell her how he feels. It's as simple, and as fear-inducing, as that. but if he can get over his fear, he'll find the courage to just tell her his feelings. It's much better than to live forever in the unknown and the what ifs.

I've the same prob. You see, there's this girl I like and we were and are close friends. So, I finally got the courage to ask her out. She said yes, but can't really don anything becuase of parents. So we just hang out everyday during lunch. But if she likes him, then she should say yes. But if she just wants to be friends, then just be glad the she likes to hang out with him.

Well, as for little tricks to try to figure out if SHE likes HIM, then look to universal body language. Girls subconsciously mimic the guy-they-like's body posture without even thinking about it. We like to be on the same wavelength with our friends and do the same type of thing with friends, matching the pace of a friend while walking. So when they are talking have him switch arm postitions, nothing really weird. Like rest his head in his hand then switch to just an arm on the table. It may take a minute or two, but if she switches, she is interested. Anyway, hope that helps your dilemma some! Good Luck!

ah, body language. the art of decoding that secret message. what oceanangel01 said is very true. Body language tells alot.

oh, i've been down this road once before. and not only were we friends, we were also of the same gender (O__o). so yeah, I know exactly what it's like.

personally, I took another one of my friend's advice. they told me to think about the person you have feelings for, and if you're friends with them as you say you are, you can pretty much predict how they'd take it. hopefully, they'll undersand, maybe even feel the same way. I was able to tell my friend, because I knew she'd understand, and wouldn't stop being my friend. and another thing that helped me was a quote from one of my favorite animes:

"tell the person of your feelings, and if it was meant to be, then he or she will respond when they're emotionally ready."

hope i helped ^^

he MUST go and talk to her

I've never got any trouble letting those I like know that I actually like them... I mean, I've never liked a girl for more than a week before she at least suspects it. Girls are kinda ultra-sensitive to such stuff. And like oceanangel said, body language says a lot, and girls tend to take very close notice of these little signs... The best thing to do is to just tell the person in question. It may seem scary but if you like the person enough, you should pluck up the courage...

Dude totally agreed with.

Well like what EternalParadox said. He should just tell her that he wants a relationship with her. That way they can actually get a relationship going. Or at lease know if she likes him or not. And if she doesn't then I'm sure he'll get over it and he'll find someone else.

i went through this........ asked her out........lasted bout three weeks ........but the good thing is we are still really good friends. she's prob still my best female friend so as long as u don't piss her off there can still be a decent outcome reguardless

i second that... i went through this too... he should just tell her... that's the best way than beating around the bush... in my situation i enlisted my best friend (who was also friends with the guy i liked) who found out that he liked me too. the conversation went something like "scott thinks we should go out" "oh? why?" "because if i like you and you like me it seems only natural." if he doesn't want to just blurt out "i like you and want to be more than friends" you could suggest that he drop more obvious hints that he would like to be more. go into flirt overdrive!

Hehe thanks so much guys ^^ yea, confronting the problem is the hardest bit for him eh, but i'm the middleman whos meant to make this work, so i'll do ma best - he's sort of shy, but if he gets "confirmation" that she likes him, then it's a done deal ^^ wish me luck ><
