It’s also a good tactic for getting to the heart of the matter. “I had to ask, I only want you to say yes if you feel 100% great about it, so why don’t you think about it and we’ll talk in a few days/weeks/whenever you like.” Giving her and the whole matter some space will be good self-care and good care for the person you like. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with saying it, and there’s nothing wrong with her hearing something like that from a good friend and needing some time to process and perhaps mentally reframe things a bit before committing one way or another. I think the smart thing for you to do now is to treat anything less than “Hell yes!” as “ No, thank you” and give her some space. Do you think we could give dating a shot now that we’re both single?” is brave & cool. You saying “ Hey, I’ve always really liked you and I’m glad that we were able to get back in touch. I’m so sorry that you seem to have missed the window on this one. I want some cold truth here should i keep trying or move on? But now she is really hesitant, scared of being hurt, and losing me as someone she can talk to. If i would of done this when we were closest back then it would of been an instant yes i believe. Its now a year later and we have been hanging out again and i brought up the courage to ask her out. I then had a brief relationship with someone, and so did she. But a few months into our friendship our communication went a little cold and we stopped talking for a little while. So a couple years ago i got the pleasure of meeting a girl, me and her would hang out almost daily and we became very close, we were extremely flirtatious and everbody thought we were together.

Hey Cap, ive got some girl troubles i hope you can help me out with.
