How Do I Know If We Should Stay Friends Or Be More Than Friends?
April 24, 2009
Dear Katie,
I like this boy…a lot. He acts like he likes me…a lot. He walks me home from the bus a lot. He is shy. Not when he walks me home but when we are talking at school. I don’t know why.
I say hi to him and he says hi and then turns to talk to someone else. I do not know what is going on when he does that. But then he is so sweet when he walks me home. I don’t know if I should ask him out or if I should just let it stay a friendship. I don’t want it to get awkward between us, so I don’t know what to do.

Dear Sarah,
Some guys are just better one on one then when they are with a group of their friends or people. It sounds like he is more himself when he is just one on one with you walking home from the bus.
You wanna know if you should ask him out or not. I think it may be a little too soon to ask him out since you are not really sure of how he feels. If you do ask him out, just be prepared for if he doesn’t share your feelings. Like you said, things can get awkward, so wait a little longer to see if he shows any signs that he likes you back.
If I were you, I would remain friends and occasionlly flirt with him and hint at liking him and find reasons to hang out with him more. This would help set up opportunities for him to ask me out and for him to flirt back too if he likes me.
So suggest to him that you really wanna see a new movie playing or that you wanna learn a new video game he plays or something. See if he suggests you guys see the movie together or if he offers to teach you the game. This way you are not putting him on the spot by asking straight out if he likes you back. You are giving him a chance to show you that he is interested without having to come out and say it.
