I'll be the odd man out and say not to kiss her. That seems drastic from "I don't know if she likes me" to kissing.

I would do something like ask her out on an official date. "If you say no, this will NOT affect our friendship, but I would like to ask you out on a date. Yes, a romantic one."

From a woman's view. There was a man I really wanted to get close to- my heart melted every time I saw him, but he never made a move.

Eventually I moved on because I needed intimacy, but I still miss him.

A little background; I was always considered attractive & he was overweight. I wish he would have asked me out, but he never did. He did look hurt when he saw me with someone else, but a woman can't wait forever.

Ask her out.

Clearly, no one here thinks you're "an idiot."

What you are is young and in love. Trust me, no one is smooth at this the first time around.

Right now, you're like two people holding their cards not wanting to make the first move. It sounds to me like she's giving you some signals.

Take a chance.

The only thing I would say is did you give him obvious signs of interest?

If not, you can't blame him for not making a move. A lot of guys won't make a move if they don't sense the woman wants them to.

A lot of guys miss out, too.

What the hell are you afraid of?? Nothing ventured nothing gained, dude. Jeez I don't get all these "I'm skeered" threads.

Tons. We went to the same corner bar after work & he even brought his mom once & introduced us but he would never make a move, even though I suggested doing things together. I think he may have thought I was looking for a meal ticket, which I wasn't. I was living with my mom at the time.

I always worked & was only living with my mother for HER sake, not mine. Such is life.

Say "I don't want to be your bestie." then grab one of her belt loops, pull her into you and kiss her, you fool.

If you were interested in her you should have asked her out on a date and tried at least to kiss her then. The whole thing with trying to be her friend first, then bf is a waste of time.
