<p>So, I'm starting to think that I'm falling for one of my closest friends. He and I have known each other since sixth grade and have kept in contact regardless of my move ever since. We talk about everything, except for the fact I've kind of always liked him. It's one of those feelings I don't try to think about too much, but I think I'm coming to accept it now. How do I drop hints to him when all we really do is text and email? I don't want to mess things up, but I want him to know!</p>
<p>Your best bet is to just tell him. Dropping hints doesn’t always work.</p>
<p>Yeah^, dont drop hints. Tell him directly! Thats really sweet! :]</p>
<p>You might already be in the “friend zone”. Once youre in the friend zone, youre pretty much screwed</p>
<p>Can girls ever be in the friend zone…?</p>
<p>^ Ha, that’s what I was thinking. :D</p>
<p>I don’t think girls can be in the friend zone… a girl can turn down a guy because they don’t want to ruin their friendship (bs) but a guy won’t turn down a girl because he doesn’t want to ruin their friendship</p>
<p>Yeah, a guy will turn you down because he’s just straight up not physically attracted to you instead. We get to enjoy the ability of already knowing whether or not we’d like to sleep with you before even meeting you for the first time.</p>
<p>He might not catch on, but what I’m afraid is that he may grow to like another girl before he actually picks up on your hints. Depends how long you were planning on dropping hints. BTW, not all guys need a perfect 10 girl to date (although it never hurts…talking to KillinEm) lol.</p>
<p>Tough spot, good luck! I agree most guys (like myself) would probably like to keep options open by avoiding the friend zone, but sometimes there are speical cases I guess.</p>
<p>Guys never get hints. Don’t even bother. </p>
<p>Just be blunt.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nah, we get hints. We just like hearing it straight out better.</p>
<p>Most guys are pretty bad with hints though…including me.</p>
<p>Just be direct. Or drop a very not-so-subtle hint. We don’t really appreciate wondering whether or not our advances will lead to rejection.</p>
<p>Me and my best guy friend kinda started something a few months ago, but we never became official. But we got into a few fights about it, and it completely ruined our friendship. We used to talk everyday, and now, we haven’t spoken in over two and a half months. so… sometimes, it might be better just to leave the friendship alone because it’s better off that way.</p>
<p>Please just be direct.
Hah, seriously.</p>
<p>tbolts is right. This one girl kept giving me a bunch of hints, and I caught on all of them, but I just wasn’t attracted to her. I would have rather her just been direct with me so that it wouldn’t just drag on.
It’s hard to be friends and not know how the other person feels. I had that experience… and the girl started going out with my good guy friend. Let me just say that that was definitely awkward.<br>
Be up front, don’t try to give hints. Good luck!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t blurt it out, but I would make it really, really effing obvious. Make your so-called “hints” blatant.</p>
<p>But actually, now that I think about it, I was in the reverse of this situation like a week ago, and it was better when he just said “Hey do you want to go out with me?” so I could say “No.” So maybe say it, but I think that a lot of guys (and girls) still see it as the guy’s position to be direct and the girl’s position to be subtle or suggestive.</p>
<p>Don’t waste your time with hints. Guys just don’t get it. If you really like the guy, don’t hesitate. I’m really old fashioned though, and I don’t make a move or anything until the guy does, but when it comes to old best friends, the “first move” may never come. Just do it =)</p>
<p>Why don’t you give yourself a week of dropping hints, and if they haven’t caught on, just go ahead and ask.</p>
<p>^ Ha, I like that, except I can’t drop hints at all.</p>
<p>He and I have an odd little friendship. EG We already have plans of going to prom together this year–as friends. It started as a joke, but now we’re completely serious about it. He’s stoked, and obviously I am too.</p>
<p>^ Awwwww !
That’s so cute =)
So, even if you tell him you like him or not, you’re still going to prom together?
Man, I wish I had it this easy. To be honest, the only serious crushes I had last year (other than my two-month ex boyfriend) were teachers… pathetic, I know. And there’s no way anybody can “drop hints” to teachers. ■■■■■</p>
