Does my girl friend like my guy friend?  | I have a friend who really loves one of my best female friends. They don't talk to each other much and they have only seen each other a small number of times at friend's parties. He, however, has loved her since high school, which has been over 6 years. She and I were talking recently and she was telling me how she is lonely and how she feels like everyone she knows is going out with someone. I thought I would test her and see if she liked my friend by suggesting that I ask him if he liked her. She said OK, but she quickly added that she thought my friend was cute and nice, but she didn't think there was anything there. She said she didn't want to give me the wrong idea like she was interested in him. What does she mean? Is she saying that she won't go out with him or is she scared that he might not like her and is just acting like she doesn't like him to be on the safe side? Is there any hope for my friend to go out with her? Should he tell her how he feels? He is thinking that maybe she feels like he doesn't really like her. He is feeling down. What should he do? - My Best Friends Keeper in CA | | | |  | First, let me say that you were really nice to test the water for your friend. He should be thankful that he has someone like you looking out for him. Now on to your questions. First of all, I think that she certainly is interested in him. If she wasn't, she never would have said it was OK for you to probe him about his feelings for her. She is certainly interested - even if only for her personal knowledge. I think that she added her disclaimer to her OK because she doesn't want to feel stupid if she finds out that he doesn't like her. It is also clear to me that she doesn't have an idea that your friend likes her. Your friend has likely played things too cool for too long. This is a problem if he really does like her and he should solve the problem right away. He, not you, should be the one to tell her that he likes her and ask her out on a date. It's not hard. He should approach her and talk to her about his desire to date her. Based on your letter, I firmly believe that she will be receptive because she is lonely and she seems to be interested in this guy. Tell him to stop being scared before he misses his chance! If he doesn't talk to her right away, he may end up sidelined by some guy that isn't afraid to tell her how he feels. He shouldn't tell her that he has loved her for 6 years because that makes him look cowardly since he was afraid to say something. Instead, he should tell her that he finds her interesting and would consider it an honor if she would go out with him. Women love that stuff :-)! Tell your friend good luck! | | | | |
