Friend, more than friend, not a friend??? HELP! (Page 2)

Indeed.  However, so entertaining!  Now I'm hooked, you have to let us know what happens next.  In DETAIL.

I'll get the popcorn ready.

That's PERFECT!  If you do it in the middle of a fancy restaurant while he's at a business lunch or some other equally awkward setting it could be a Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie.  You go girl!

YES, YES, YES! The opportunity doesn't come along often and, if he's as into you as you thought, he'll jump right back in the pool. Either way, stick it out there and see what happens. That's what makes life so freakin' exciting!

Good luck! I'll be sitting here on the couch with regimom eating popcorn and eagerly awaiting the whole story.

Cheers!

Tom

I don't know that I would profess my undying love when you talk, but telling him how much you like him and explaining the trip would be a good start. Perhaps the love thing should wait until you've dated ... at least once...

You don't want to scare the shite out of him/really churn his emotions like that and while he may like you, love may not be something he's prepared to hear at this point so quickly after haveing the door slammed in is face...

Ask him.  Ask him.  Ask him.  It can't get much worse.  Now I'm going to be checking COJ all day for updates.

Any room on that couch left?  I'll bring something to drink.

I wouldn't do the unannounced drop in - I would hate if someone did that to me.  What if my place was a mess?  What if I was in my pj's?  What if I was in the bathroom?

I don't know about the Chipotle thing.  It's a great idea but would he be freaked out that you knew exactly what he liked?  Maybe just get chips and guac to share - everyone likes that, right?

You need to do this soon.  What if he turns out to be the one for you?  Don't let a little thing like "I don't usually ask guys out" stop you!  Geez - I get the butterfly feelings in my stomache just reading about how much you guys like each other.

Yes, forget about the chipotle and any other type of gimick - he will be confused and surpried enough.

Call him today. Ask him if you can meet at a cafe or park or ice cream shop - anywhere. You don't have to worry about him not drinking or liking XY or Z. Don't ask hijm where he would like to meet or beat around the bush. Tell him you really want to talk to him, tell him where and what time. If he can't, let him pick a time and place.

"Hey Joe, do you have a little time this evening? I would really like to talk with you."

Pause. "Uh, sure....

Tell him when and where.

or if he responds, as I would after the rejection,

"Uh... I guess, what about?"

"Well, I really want to talk to you in person as this is hard for me, but I feel very attracted to you and have been for some time. On the ski trip I know I gave you the completely opposite impression and I've been at a loss with what to do about it. I was scared because I've admired you for a long time I like you enough that I'm taking a leap and steping out of my comfort zone. Would you like to talk with me about this?

It's stories like this that make me wonder how we as a species hasn't managed to cease to exist....

I chalk it up to alcohol.

LOL, thank goodness for alcohol!

dude thats good. 

What can I add to this? To summarize from male point of view.

I like her and I think she likes me.

I build up courage to ask for kiss.

BLAM!! Door slams,  I guess I was wrong.

I feel like a fool and how awkward to be around HER!!!

I will stay away to end the humiliation.

That about sums it up and any male that says different is lying...LOL

Keep the lustful kiss to yourself for "The Talk" unless you want him to think "Lets get Naked".

Keep "The Talk", god I hate it when a women says "We have to TALK", simple and to the point.

I like you.  I have for awhile, but didn't know if you felt the same.

You caught me off guard,  but I would love to see you more and see where this may lead.

Sweet, honest and to the point.
