Question

How do I ask my friend that likes me out?

Community Answer

Be straightforward. If you already know your friend likes you, this should take away some of the pressure. Ask if your friend wants to go out to the movies or to go get coffee. Make it clear that you're asking him out on a date.

Question

What if he is not into dating? How would I convince him to go out?

Community Answer

If someone is not interested in a relationship at this time, it's best not to push it. You do not want anyone to feel pressured into dating you, as this can lead to resentment.

Question

There is this guy and he is my best friend. All my friends think he likes me and I like him. What do I do?

Community Answer

If you're okay pursuing a romantic relationship, ask your friend out on a date. However, you may feel hesitance if you do not want to screw up the friendship. Think for awhile about the possible repercussions of dating a friend. Consider whether you could conceivably stay friends if the relationship ends.

Question

What if you don't know how he feels about you?

Community Answer

Try to pay attention to his behavior when you're together. Does he make eye contact frequently? Does he like to hug or touch you in subtle ways? Does he seem to text and call you a lot? If so, the feeling may be mutual.

Question

What if your best friend says no to going out?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, if someone doesn't like you, there's no much you can do to change that. Try to get some space from your friend for a little bit in order to get over your feelings for him. Once you're feeling better about being rejected, you can work on reigniting the friendship.

Question

What if you and the boy are in middle school and are not great friends?

Community Answer

You can still ask someone out if you're not friends first. You can also try to become friends first, if you would feel more comfortable. Try hanging out with the boy in group settings, like inviting him to a movie with you and your friends. If you feel a romantic spark, consider asking him out down the road.

Question

What if you asked him out before and he said no?

Community Answer

Feelings can change. If you've noticed the boy seems to be interested in you, he may have developed romantic feelings. However, if the boy's behavior towards you has remained more or less the same, it's best not to ask him out again. You can make the friendship uncomfortable if the boy feels like you're pressuring him to pursue something more than friendship when he's not interested.
