Should I tell her the truth or not?

I have met a really nice girl and I really like her, but the thing is that I am in the friends zone. She thinks that I'm a really good friend and that I make her laugh a lot. Is that may be a sign that she likes me back? I all ready told her that I like her but I don't se any change in our "relationship". And now I am seing that we are having less contact with each other than when we first met. What must I do???? Should I just be friends with her and see her every day with pain in my hearth when I see her kissing with an other boy? Or should I tell her how I feel about her and be THAT boy she will be kissing?????

Since you have already told her that you like her and she has not responded in a way that would indicate that she wants to move past the friend zone she probally doesnt. Also if she is involved with other guys in your presence would be clear enough for most people to know exactly where she stands. To continue to tell her that you want more will just set you up to be hurt in the long run. Your question should be "when do I accept the truth?"

I guess you are right since he has already told her and knows how she responded, keeing that in mind he should go ahead. But if he really loves her with utmost sincereity, i feel she should know what he feels about her! Happy Posting!

I agree with this post. You already know that she isn't interested in being more than friends. If you try to push it any further you're just going to hurt your friendship further. Accept that you have to move on as best you can then move on.

Hi Skatemate, hmmm... what do i know about relationships? Honestly I'm not experienced and definitely not an expert when it comes to relationships but will be answering your question anyway. When you said that you see her everyday with pain and with another boy, does that mean that she's already in a relationship? Coz if that's the case it's not gonna be easy for you. But if she's still available, I think it would be nice if you will be honest about how you feel and let the girl be aware of it. Who knows, she might like you too. Just be sensitive about the timing. On the other hand, continue to be the good friend that she enjoys to be with. Good day! ;)

I heard that she has a boyfriend. And now since she is in this relationship she is avoiding me. I already told her how I feel and now I don't even get calls from her. But I'll set this ting straith, one way or another. Because I hate the fact that she is dissing me. By the way, thanks!!!!!!!!!!

You already told her how you feel and she eventually got distant from you.. I guess its one of those relationships that others find difficulty on. I mean, you've been good friends a good time and suddenly seeing your friend as an intimate partner isn't really easy, I guess that's her case. Since you've already told her how you feel for her, why not get over being awkward and just be frank with her. Then agian, if she keeps avoiding you, you wouldn't be able to do that to her and it would certainly imply the obvious. Be forward and expect anything that might occur, good or bad, all that matters is that you were honest to her and yourself.

Well, since she's already with someone and avoids having encounters with you, it kind'a suggests that she uneasy with what has happened. Just make an effort to straighten everything out once and for all. Though, if I were you, I'd just move on. Its not easy but sometimes, we just have to let go.

It is so hard to tell someone that you have strong feelings for them. there is always that chance at rejection and losing the friendship. There is also that chance that it will turn into the love of a life time. I agree with what most are saying. tell her. If she don't feel the same way it may make the friendship a little awkward but it can be salvaged. Maybe you could tell her. Hey I just want to take a moment to say something to you. I want to let you know that I am really starting to have feelings for you that go beyond friendship and if you are not having the same feelings it is alright to let me know. I would however like to remain friends if this is the case. If she don't have the same feelings then it is time to try to look for love else where. If you start going out with others and stay her friend it will show her that you are really serious about just being friends and she will again be comfortable around you and the friendship will probably return to normal. If later on in life it was truly meant for you and her to be together it will come about when the time is right. Best wishes to you and I hope that everything works out the way you want it to.

Yes, it is true, also women do like men that make them laugh! It is a good start and do not be pushy, as you never know which way the relationship will go in the future!

You are right I think most women do like men that make them laugh and are not to pushy. My husband makes me laugh and always has and he wasn't pushy lol. It took me 10 years to finally get him to say yes. But he didn't know I was interested in him that way and I didn't know he was interested in me that way and when we first met things were complicated. It all works out in it's own time like it is supposed to.

You and her used to have a lot of time together and then after disclosing your feelings to her it change. This is a sign that she is uncomfortable with the friendship at this moment. What you can do is to call her and let her know that you treasure her friendship and you would prefer to have that then nothing at all. Sometimes when we like someone we tends to push that person away. Just be a friend and if it is the well of God for it to move to stage 2 it will. Don't rush anything. Sometimes being a friend is better than a lover. All the best.

I think that if it is painful for you to see her with someone else...that maybe you shouldn't be her friend anymore OR at least try not to see her for a few months because it will only hurt you more to see her kissing other people when you're in love with her...

If she is like me, she probably doesn't just assume that you want to be more than just friends with her. It could also be that she just sees you as just a friend. who knows? you won't know until you tell her how you feel. Syke yourself into it and take the chance. If she doesn't feel the same way about you, you still have a good friend. What's to lose?

I think that you should tell her how you feel, because if you don't then you will beat yourself up about it, even if she says that she only wants to be friends then at least you know that you have tried your best. Good luck with it =D

I doubt she will think that you can't live without her in your life, she might think that you want her in your life, which you do, but she will not think you are a crazy obsessive person just for telling her.

I think you should tell her how you feel. I know as a women alot of the time I would wait for the guy to come to me so I knew that it was promising and thats what he wanted. Alot of girls just don't have the confidence to come out and tell you. Good luck.

Are you sure that you are ready to tell her that you like her? Are you also ready to know what will be the result?? If your answer is "yes",then go for it.. Tell her how much you like her.. But if your not sure then you need to be ready for the outcome.. There will be two possibilities when you are going to tell her what is inside your heart: the first one is she might accept your heart and maybe she is also like you then both of you will be happy together.. the second one is you might lose her if she don't want to accept your heart.. what if she really loves the one she is kissing.. Are you ready to know what might she will say?? What do you think is better for both of you?? What do you think would make you happy?? If you are already decided in your decision then go for it... for as long as you are ready for the outcome.. have a great day!

Hi skatemate , Telling someone you have feelings for them is always a risk , but in most cases it will pay off . You dont always wanna wonder what could of been , so I would go for it and tell her how you feel . You never know she might have feelings for you too . If you and her are ever having a moment you should be bold and kiss her . Why not be that boy !!

Hi,so you are in trouble,don't be sad!having read what you written,i find that you are a shy boy in love,so it's not suitable for you to tell your feeling to her face to face,i think even you do it in this way ,you will be afraid if the girl refused,even you two could not be friends any more.Maybe a indirect way will be much better,you can send a short message to her or chat with her on line,do not tell her you love her,depending on a story or a joke or a conundrum or others you can think,in that way you can get the information about her feeling to you.You should know whether she has a boyfriend already,if not,please come on!Wish you succeed^_^

You could ask her if she is one of the beautiful people at http://www.surinam.net/ and chat with her while she dates others! Some times it takes a while for friends to become a couple, and sometimes it does not happen at all! You never really know if she will realize one day that you are perfect for her! Maybe if you can ask other girls out, and she will see that you are dating, then your friendship can continue to grow and become all that it can be!

I do think to do or not to do depends on your feeling. If you do love her, pls tell her no matter the result will do. To tell the one you loved that you love is a happy thing, and you will even happier if the one have the same feeling with you. If not, you will be no regret as you have do the things that you want.

If you really feel like there may be something there what is there to lose? Just ask her out, take her out to lunch one day and tell her how you feel. Just see how she feels thats all you can really do.
