My Friend

[TAC1]

My old friend (M) and I went to school together back in 5th grade. Back then I really liked her. I left the school in 6th grade and we never saw each other again. The other day I met her and we had a quick conversation with each other. When we were chatting online I told her that I like her alot and she was ok with it. She's been telling me that there's this person that she really likes and for some reason I think its me b/c she gave me a couple...if you want to call it 'hints.' Anyways I was planning on asking her out. Should I ask her or kinda stay as friends?

It all comes down to what you want to do, if you want to ask her out, go ahead, or if you just need a friend right now stay there.

What I would do, since you've just talked to her online and quickly ran into her, is try and actually hang out with her, casually, just a little bit, maybe once or twice before you do anything. Invite her to a movie once, or to lunch. Just to "catch up" See if you can feel her out about who she likes more, see if you pick up any hints if it's you. See what her body language is like around, she how compatible you guys are. Then if you feel everything is okay, go ahead and ask her out!

Best of luck to you!

We hang out though...In fact Im supposed to meet herwhen I come back from vacation

Oh, well then I would ask her out, I just got the vibe from your story you only saw her once, if you really like her and think that she likes you, yeah go for it. But it she is an old friend, and you don't want to ruin that, dont ask her out. It just seems like you want to ask her out, so go ahead!

Go for it if you want to. The worst thing that could happen is that she will say no since you are friends. If you wern't friends, then things could get alot worse.

if it feels right to you, then ask her out. but you just need to make sure that if you do ask her out, that your prepared for the answer you don't want and the possible awkwardness it could cause in your friendship afterwards. just make sure you think this through first and are in a position to accept the risks involved.
