Dating a family friend???

[John566]

Ok so I'm thinking of asking out this girl who's a family friend. We've known each other for like 6 years now and I'm really into her. The problem is that I don't know how to go about it. If she says no then that's going to be really awkward and I don't know if I could face her after that.

Any experience with dealing with this? Should I go for it or let it go? Thanks.

Maybe start out with something simple like getting a coffee together?

i dated a family friend, it was awkward as hell :P
and it didn't end well either...
but if you're really into her do for it

Well I will be seeing her in the next few days so I might ask her then. Going to be awkward if she says no though. Ah well, I may as well try, right?

Other then she already having a connection to your family nothing is different between asking her out or another person. Be yourself, act like u would against any other girl. Ask her out to get something to drink, have a nice walk. Watch a movie or play a game together.

I wish you luck man. Like kashmir said-start out simple like getting coffee together, a movie, simple things. Then after a while when you think the time is right- tell her. Tell her hard. Then once it works-I will envy you cuz ur gunna have an awesome time.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll let you guys know how it goes :)

Good luck man! Prepare your "date" in advance so that everything is "planned" out. Don't get caught offguard by forgetting how to ask her out, etc.

I have thought about it and one of the things holding me back is the awkwardness element
it could be pretty horrid of it goes pear shaped

[John566]

Thanks for the answers guys.

Sorry I haven't been posting....but I finally got the balls to ask her this morning and she said no because apparently it would be too awkward and everything. So yep...

Sorta mad at myself now.

Take it as a challenge and go for it...;)
But please, go smooth...don't rush things.
Try to have a coffee or a restaurant with her...or maybe her favourite movie to the cinema.

Yea start out simple like the movies and see where it goes. Realistically, if you do and you aren't rejected the one thing you should remember is no matter the hardship, your love for each other is what will matter the most. Good luck.

Lol, thanks guys but she said no :( (see above)
