Whatever the outcome of this is, you better hope she never finds out you had a 2 page discussion about how to ask her out on a toy soldier forum.

It's just what needs to be done to move things forward, regardless of the outcome.

Unfortunately your advice contradicts Cannerus's and I've found both your guys advice helpful, but I don't know which is a better choice.

I'm trying to figure out what Cannerus's advice actually is.

Cannerus wants me to avoid her for a few weeks come back as a changed man, doesn't want me to be be the nice guy but someone who isn't afraid to take the initiative also I must keep my feelings to myself. I can't get desperate and must

remain calm.

You however want me to invite her out, express all my feelings and tell her that I can't just be friends with her anymore and that for the relationship to continue we need to go the next step up. Tell her I'm an "All or Nothing" guy.

Replace "weeks" with "months". Start hitting the gym. Start being fething confident for feth's sake, dude. Get laid. Then come back to her, totally changed. This isn't a little pussy "oh I need to keep my emotions to myself and not talk to her for 2 weeks". This is a commitment. You want this girl? You're gonna have to do a 180 broski.

And honestly, there's plenty more fish in the sea. Don't worry about it. Hell, after a couple months and after you get laid and all that jazz, when you come back to her, you may find that she's really nothing special in the first place.

I am confident, but I have enough common sense to know that I'm most likely going to fail as well. Also you sound like a friend of mine who thinks all life's problems can be solved by lifting weights.

Treat her to a lovely breakfeast like I did mate.

Hmm. I can cook. Learn how to cook!!! find out what her favorite meal is and cook it!

Shadowbrand wrote:Treat her to a lovely breakfeast like I did mate.

I really love this guy. Seriously. How perfect is that?

Shadowbrand wrote:Treat her to a lovely breakfeast like I did mate.

Well I haven't had a sleep-over with her in a while so that's an idea.

Oh damn i just saw how I typed that...

I ment treat her to a similar breakfeast like the one I had. Beers and leftover pizza.

Oh I thought you actually had good dating advice for once. I'm pretty sure women like it when a man does something special for them.

My question is... Is she blonde?
If so Sing this.

What? beer and pizza is like cheese and wine

But breakfeast in bed... that is a good idea. Be sure to talk in a foreign accent.

British or French are preferable.

I can do an awesome "house-wife" voice.

If she has a gruff man voice like my Rorshach/Solid Snake impersonation then that should work just fine.

I feel ignored.... so so so ignored...
Anyway. Slarg has just made things better with his girl now you are left. And So am i.

I second the exotic accent idea.
My phenomenal British accent is well recieved, but still never gets me any

I thought you meant:

Treat her to a nice breakfast after rogering her soundly all night long.

Dem gitz at match.com sez we'ze gotz a 90 percent Komptatabiltee ratin'. So's we goin' out or am I gonna put yer head on my pointy stikk?

Pointy stick Me thinks.

Curse my instructor for teaching me to defend myself against Fresh Fruit and not Pointed Sticks!

Okay, here's Uncle Simon coming in to sort you out once-and-for-all!

First off, it sounds like you're probably buggered, but at least you can find out exactly where you stand and go on from there.

Secondly, forget all this bollocks about re-inventing yourself. You are who you are and unless you're some kind of schizo, that's unlikely to change very much.

So, you need to find a quiet moment and tell her straight out - "I love being your friend, and I don't want to spoil that, but I'm crazy about you and it's driving me insane."

It's quite likely she'll come out with some old cobblers about it ruining your friendship. Teenagers seem to be really hung up on that. Your other half should be your best friend, although your best friend shouldn't necessarily be your other half (so tell Shadowbrand he can step away from the wall).

Anyway, in the event of a no, it might be worth asking her why, assuming there's no obvious problem such as you being a mutant...

Above all, remember there are plenty more fish in the sea.

Maybe he is Captain Ahab?

What I would do, Cheese, is take her out on "romantic 'friend' dates".

Ask her if she wants to go shopping at the mall, and make sure to spend enough time there that you have to go get some food at the food court. Make sure to plan ahead, and that theres a movie playing that she has been talking to you about seeing, and say something alone the lines of "You want to stay to see the movie? I mean, we are here anyway."

My plan for my gal who has me in the friend zone is to get her to go on "dates" that aren't technically "dates", if you know what I mean.

So you're calling his beloved a whale?

Not to be too much of an arsehole, but the very fact that you appear to be in a similar position would seem to indicate that your advice is unlikely to pay dividends.

I meant that Ahab only wanted that ONE fish in the sea, no other one would do.

Also, he has been in the situation for a while, I'm just now getting into it

Uh, Slarg is planted in the "Friend-Zone" too, he's in the exact situation I am so it's only you who's left now.

Once you're in the friend zone there's no getting out. If you're the kind of guy that gets into that situation, there's no way you'll be the kind of guy that can get out of it.
