Women, I need your advice. Does this girl like me?

I am a thirty year old guy and have been friends with her for almost ten years. We've kept in really good contact most of the time, quite interested in each other's live, almost alway encouraging, never argued, and so forth. We are from the same home town, but have lived in different cities most of this time. She was dating a guy when I moved to LA and I stayed with her and he till I found a job. She was unhappy and consulted me often about it, wondering if she should break up with him. I never suggested she should, and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, mostly because I had feeling for her and didn't want them manipulating my advice. She dumped him, but I stayed in contact with him. She even said this was good because I would be a good influence on him. She talks to me about guys she is dating, but only when she wants to know if she should break up with them. She is very smart, Ivy League educated, former dance, double major, financially successful, and ....Women, I need your advice. Does this girl like me?
You already probably know the best way to find out what she's thinking: just ask. Nothing ventured nothing gained. If you've been friends for ten years you should be able to just laugh it off if she's not interested. Oh, and bring wine. It'll make it easier. :)





Now throwing it back at you: if you are interested, do you give any indicators? It could be that she's playing it coy. Even if she's not currently thinking of you in *that* light, it doesn't mean she never would...just if you're only giving off the friend vibe maybe she never even considered anything more.Women, I need your advice.

Didn't need to read the entire thing to tell you to tell her that you love her...She probably loves you too!!!!! Dummy! LOL
Unless there have been other signals it sounds like she is just your friend.


Does she usually come out with it when she likes other guys, or wait for them to make the first move? If she always waits on the guy, there is a chance that she has a thing for you. If not, I would say she's just your buddy. God bless!!
It's hard to say. It's clear you are special to her. Maybe when you are able to spend more time together you will find out. I wish you luck, and remember, at the very least you'll end up with a friend who loves you.
It is strange to talk to a friend about love, when it's them. You should invite her over, and tell her that... The more you think of her the more you think of her. Tell her that you have both been in the dating game for a while and their is no good reason that you haven't tried each other. Don't come on to her, she seams to classy for that. Just offer to take her out once a week, as a date. Tell her that you love her, as a friend and your sick of her getting hurt with the other guys, and she should try you out. Because you already love her and don't have to get to know her, or get over her habits or any of the usual getting to know you crap. That sounds good to me. That's the kinds of things I'd like to hear. I'm sure you have your own way of saying things, and she knows you well enough to understand.
If you're interested in her, ask her out - ask her if she thinks there could be something more between you.





It seems like she is comfortable with you in the friend zone, but if you show some initiative, she might open her eyes and become interested. You never know...





I'll tell you what - when I had a crush on a guy I told him the minute he started telling me about other girls he was interested in. I told him I liked him and I didn't want to be his crying shoulder on this issue.. long story short we've been married for 5 years ;) So you just never know!
You're the guy friend. If she wanted you then she would have tripped you years ago.





Sorry.
Well - it sounds like she's a ';friend'; BUT...I ended up marrying my ';friend'; that I could ';never see as anything more than a friend.'; So friend status now doesn't mean forever.





I would ask for clarification BUT the tricky part is how/when to do it. Err, if this doesn't sound too tacky, wait until you've both had a few glasses of wine or something. When those kinds of conversations aren't so weird. Well, as for me, I love it when people are honest. You don't have to say that you're into her or anything, but more along the lines of (1) what you like about your relationship and then (2) you're open to pursuing ';something more'; and had to wonder if she felt the same.
I'd guess that you're the guy friend. Of course, you never know what might happen if you work up the nerve to take it one step farther :) Do it, sweetie. You might regret it later if you don't.





(((Dog Sneeze)))
my husband was and still is my best friend ...we dated in the same circle but always stayed best of friends..





my question is do you care for her more than you know ...or are willing to show...love isn't always set afire on the second date ...love is loving everything about the person the goods and the bads no matter what he or she does .doing all the things together that you know would not be as fun or enriching with someone else..you desire their opinion and respect their knowledge ...,there light their when they are down you can also feel the pain and frustration..and wish that you could fix everything for them..love is building one another up and helping eachother reach their goals ..love is sitting in the same room when the other is sick and reading a book or watching a movie..love would fly across the world if it were asked to..love is so many wonderouse things ...


If you think that your feelings are true enough tell her ..you already know she will not take the first step ..so if you desire more than your 10 year friendship just try to spend more time talking to her .sending her books..some of your artwork..traveling to see her and to go to an art thingy or play or dance ..just try to do more for her to see that you really do care for her...she may be ready to start a commited relationship since she is finacially sound ..and maybe non of the gentlemen she has had relationshipd with do not stand up to you...I hope this helps..
I'm not a girl, but next time you are with her, I say kiss her. No more talking. You'll find out really quick how she is feeling. And try mixing in a breath mint or two.





Good luck with that one, I'm hoping the best.
Good luck buddy.
