asking her out

[RCT109]

hey guys well there is this new girl at my school and i like her alot and stuff but here is the thing, out of the blue on fb one day she asked if I liked her or some thing. One of my friends said tbh yea and then i just went along with it. She then said she only likes me as a friend. WHAT DO I DO?

Shawn,

If she specifically stated she only likes you as a friend than she only likes you as a friend- don't push.

Good luck and best wishes- there will be other girls.

As usual, there's not much else to say than what Luke said. She doesn't like you like that, so don't try it. Asking a girl to hang out isn't like asking them out, though. If she says she's your friend, than it's find to hang with her as such.

Not much you can do then. You can't force her to like you. Just remain friends, one day she may change her mind. But don't push her.

To the other question; not always. If you're best friends (and not just distant friends or acquaintances) I think it's perfectly fine to take a girl out to the movies as just friends. But if you barely know her and just ask out of the blue "Wanna catch a movie?", then it might be perceived as asking her out. Just my opinion, though.

Sadly, I agree wholeheartedly with the aforementioned posts. If she stated she only likes you as a friend, you should not push it, for doing so would risk that friendship.
I know it's not easy to abandon a crush you have, but my advice would be to choose your friendship over something as short-term as a crush. A good friendship can last a lifetime.
And you know what they say, you only know what you've missed out on once it's no longer there. Trust me if I say that you don't want to find yourself in that position. It hurts.

Most sincerely,
Robert.
