First New Date In A While.

---

Okay, so I recently broke up with a GF whom I was with for about 2 years. Seeing as it's been a month since then I decided to ask someone out. I asked someone who I've been freidns with since 8th grade, and were in 10th now.

I asked her out and she says she wants too, but she's afraid it'll feel awkward since were friends. But she wants to give it a shot. Now since she is going to be feeling a little strange considering were friends I'm wondering how I could make her feel more comfortable. Were going to be seeing a movie, in fact were seeing 'W.' seeing as we both want to see it, and I think watching something funny would help things along.

So what else should I be doing?

Kiss her. Otherwise it may become too easy to fall back into 'friends' mode. Of course it will be awkward, but I think you have to go through that rather than trying to avoid it.

I agree with Ineligible. Once that first kiss has happened, hopefully it'll make things more comfortable

Hah, I didn't imagine that would be said. When would be the best time to try for it?

More than just kissing her go out of your way to make it a date. For instance, if you go out to eat pick up the tab and make it more date oriented. That means be gentlemanly, and it doesn't have to be grand but not some shitty burger place you would take a friend, it's a date after all, treat her like a date.Long and short, it should be as it would if you were taking anybody else on a date but the conversation should come easier.As for kissing her, at the end of the date, or when the date is winding down.

Go for it!Just wanna warn you tho that the Ex might come back and be super emotional/upset. It has only been a month.. Just a warning!!

Thanks man.Although, she seems to be changing her mind do to her being worried of feeling awkward. So unless I can assure her it'll go alright then I won't have to worry.

Well, assure her it'll go all right.

I'm gonna try my best.

Dont let this girl FLAKE on you man, seriously. Awkward cause your friends? My ass, awkward...sounds like and excuse man, be firm and dont let ANY girls FLAKE on you.But if she says yes, maybe you can go to the movies early like 5, then dinner 7:30 somewhere nice, then maybe get some gelato and go for a walk? I tried that at my college town, we have a nice lake and park, with lots of college stores to look at and the girls liked it.

Well she apparently doesn't like me. I tried talking and she just said that.

She said she doesn't like you?

Yeah, which bothers me considering she said she did, then didn't, then did again, and now says she doesn't.

There's not much you can do, it seems, but move on.

head gamessss.... move on

Don't worry, I have.

Good, don't let them play you, many more girls out there.

But really what did i say? its an excuse right? when a girl says oh it might be awkward cause we are friends, that means its an excuse cause she's just a no good, stupid girl who is too dumb to say no up front and wants to waste your time.

Oh yeah, I completely see what you were saying.

No good, stupid, dumb, wants to waste your time.... I think it's more likely that she's simply trying to be tactful.
