I like a close friend, she's not my best friend, but close

[LordOfLoss]

I have known her for a year since I started school. First time I saw her I thought she was pretty and kind of liked her, I introduced her to my 5 friends and now she's in our "group." She's an innocent girl and she knows of my not so innocent track record with previous relationships. I stopped thinking about her like that after a few months but she just went out and broke up with one of my friends in the group. He never had a girlfriend so he was very dramatic and it didn't end well. Most of the group is annoyed with the boy. I was being silly and scooped her up in my arms and looked at her face and we smiled at each other. redface It really got to me, and instantly I felt something. I like her again. Any advise on what I should do. I have thought about ignoring it, but what happened that day still sticks with me. I think she might like me somewhat. I don't like being conceited, but she called me sweet and so I think that might be a possible start if I let this happen.

:Update:
Her ex/my possible soon-to-be-ex-bestfriend, is acting different. At first he was upset, but than she talked to him and told him she doesn't like him like that anymore (He thought she still liked him, bu she was worried cause she never had a boyfriend before), and now he's furious. I have always made this statement clear to him: "I will NEVER hit or let someone hit a girl. If it's my friend who someone hits, I'll hit (meaning fight)them back." Earlier today, she was talking to me and he was there with his back turned. She left and I asked him how he was. He told me "I'm going to slap that b***h." I yelled at him and walked away. I'm not going to pursue her.

ask her to go out wit youu

tread carefully if you do. It is easy to crush a girl's heart. From one not so innocent guy to another.

awww this sounds cute whee heart it might be good if u two were together. but be careful. if your friend didnt take the breakup well, that could mean trouble for you and her in your group of freinds

Dude thats nothing more than latent feelings. Honestly its bad form to date a girl in your "group", especially if shes been with a friend of yours. It's like passing around a used condom and gives the girl a reputation of being easy to people outside the group. And besides, in all reality she prolly doesn't have feelings for you. You're prolly a nice dude but she just got out of a relationship and is just saying how nice you were being. A girl calling you sweet doesn't mean she wants to date you or that she even has the slightest interest in you. I suggest you ignore it and be her friend.

Not what I wanted to hear, but you are very right, and the sweet thing was wishful thinking. I will listen to this for the moment and see if she begins to show real feelings. I have talked to one of my friends about it (an understanding one) because we all don't like the idea of friend relationships. U've told him I won't pursue her, but I will look for an opportunity if her ex can finally drop it

Hm. Just be honest?
If she doesn't like you back, don't pressure her.. Just be there for her like you always are. : )

By the way, I'm not head over heels for her or anything, I'm just shocked and wondering why now

ohnestly sutdies show that if you date a friend and brake up you most likely wont be friends ever again, so evaluate the sitatuon find out if her friend ship means more to you than the risk of going out, time tends to bury the past and forget emotions,
she may feel the sme way she may not but only yu can decie wether to admit your feelings, and take the risk.
oh and science does say that most relationships are bound to fail

I know, I don't like love, so I know it wouldn't end well, but I am growing more attached to her each day. It's getting to me and I feel ridiculous
