If you have a crush on your best friend you might be wondering, how can you ask them out without things getting awkward. Well, today I'm gonna explain how to do it. There's usually one of two types of situations that occur when you like your friend, the first is that you've always liked them and you've always kept it a secret and the second is that out of no where you just started liking them.
No matter which you choose, there's nothing with how you feel. The problem usually comes in is how people choose to take their friendship to the next level. If you've been brewing your feelings up inside for a while now, you might think that the best way to handle it is to confess that you've liked them all along. The huge problem with that is that it's a complete slap in the face of your friendship.
All this time they've gotten to know you as someone they can trust, not someone who's been doing things with them simply because you have romantic feelings for them. Now I know it doesn't mean you've only done things because you like them romantically, you might have done it as a friend but what you've done is create a brand new way of thinking for them to say, any time they interact with me are they doing it as my friend or someone that likes them? It creates a tremendous level of confusion that no one is prepared for. Plus, I can't stress this point enough. Confessing is never the same as asking out your best friend. I go more in depth on this topic in this video here but trust me on this one, you're way better off simply asking them out like any other crush that you have. It's also possible that you may start to notice that your best friend might be doing things to show you that they like you too but I'm sorry to debunk it for you. That's just your brain creating situations, taking normal ones and making them into what you want them to be. So from what I've seen, the best way to ask out your best friend is to change the tempo of how you guys interact.
Make a declaration statement like "You know I feel like somethings changed about you, and for some reason I really want to know what that's about". From that point on, you don't act like the best friend, you act like someone that's interested in them. Instead of going from 0 to 100 or best friends to just suddenly liking them, make the slow transition that goes from being friendly to being more romantic. That means talking to them differently and touching them differently. where I go more in depth on what you should do. What do you think, are you having trouble with our are you looking to ask out your best friend? I know what you're thinking, how can i do it without making things awkward between us if she says no? You need to redefine what it actually means to be awkward. What I never specified was immediately asking her out on a date, what I said was do the slow transition process, by the end of that slow transition you should have built up enough romantic chemistry to ask her out. And it'll only be awkward if you allow yourself to fall back into the friend zone immediately after she says no. From this point on don't settle for just a friendship if you want something more. Stay true to how you feel and don't be ashamed to move on if you have to. As always guys, love and peace.
