The Guidance Guy Advice Column

Dear Guidance Guy,

I have this friend that has so many guys who like her, and she always tells me about them. I really don't care anymore, because I like her, but she doesn't know that. What should I do?

Please help,
Nathan

Dear Nathan,

You have a few choices here. One is to come out and tell her how you feel about her. But I'm guessing you're not comfortable with that, or you would have already done it. And if she doesn't feel the same way, it will make the friendship kind of awkward.

Then again, she could be telling you about the other guys because she likes you and wants to see if you'll react and tell her how you feel!

Another idea is to do and say things that would get her to imagine the two of you as a couple. Talk about what it would be like going to movies together, favorite restaurants, even dances. See how she reacts. If she plays the game with you, it could lead to something. If not, things should still be OK between you.

And finally, there's my favorite. Put a flower and a note somewhere where only she will find them. Tell her how you feel, and tell her if she doesn't feel the same she doesn't need to do anything and you'd still like to be friends. If she does like you, this should move things along nicely.

Hope things work out the way you want!

All The Best,
The Guidance Guy
