So this girl has been going out with her boyfriend for about 2 years, she's a freshman in college. Recently, she just broke up with her boyfriend, I don't know what caused it, all I know is that they are no longer together.

I have liked her since I met her and couldn't keep her off my mind for the two semesters that I have known her.

I really would like to start dating her, we have been friends since the first semester and some of her friends, and my friends, have said to me that we make a good couple. I feel that we have really good chemistry, I don't know if she feels the same way.

I have a few concerns.

-She is very playful and flirty, and I flirted with her a bit when she had a boyfriend, but not much since I didn't want to intervene in her relationship. She flirts with me, but she also flirts with my best friend, and my best friend is naturally better at flirting then I am, but he has a girlfriend and just naturally flirts. Its not that I lack confidence in flirting, because I feel I can say or do anything, but I just don't think of ways to flirt besides just friendly things. I do get a bit jealous when she flirts with him, but can't tell if she has interest in him or not.

-My other concern is that I don't want to be just the 'rebound guy', but at the same time I don't want to miss my opportunity to be with her. Any advice on this?


I have had a few girlfriends before who I really liked dating at the time, but I have never felt such a strong feeling for a girl. I feel like if we were to date we would have a very strong connection, but I don't know the best way to approach this situation is.

Give her some time first to cope with her break-up before jumping into that part of her life.
Stuff may happen and her and her ex may go back out. (Horrible idea to think of, trust me, I know.)

Best approach?
Take her out!
Aha!
Keep us up-to-date man with how it goes!

I think you should just be there for her. She is maybe a bit vulnerable especially if she was dating him for a while. Just give her little hints here and there and flirt. But dont ask her out, who knows they may get back together in a week or two. Give it a good month, then try asking her out. Try to comfort her as much as possible, maybe invite her to the movies with her friends and your friends, as a group. So she isnt feeling lonely. Try to be around her a little bit more, and do more group activities with her. She'll realize how good of a friend you are, and how much you care about her. Then after a good month or so, ask her out. Hope I helped :D

Go for it, I suggest you may need to do these first..

Comfort her.
Give her time.
Flirt more.
Be there for her.
Hang out with her.
Go to movies.
Get a kiss?

Hope I helped!
