I need some advice.

As the title says, I need some advice.

I've been friends with a girl for about two years now. Over time, as we both went through a bunch of crap together, I became great friends with her. The problem is, I like her more than a friend now. I have a feeling that she feels a little bit of the same way, since when I suggested that we go to homecoming together she said that she wouldn't mind going. It probably doesn't mean much, but at least she's open to the idea.

Anyway, she's been going through a bunch of stuff with her ex (one of my best friends), so she's not sure what to do about dating. She also hasn't decided to move away to Colorado (to live with someone that she knows) or to stay here in Georgia. She wants to move away because of the ex, but I have a feeling that it will pass eventually.

Still, I really want to go out with her, but I almost made a huge mistake today. As I was texting her, I semi-jokingly suggested that we go out. However, she had just gotten out of a long, stupid conversation with the same ex. She didn't like my joke, and she explained to me what happened. She DID say that she was ok with going out, but not now. Of course, she could have been saying that to be nice, but I don't know.

So here's my question. Do I push for going out, or wait a bit and slowly work my way up to it? I'm really leaning towards the second one.

By the way, any prayers, sacrificed goats, or whatever you do for your beliefs that are done for me would be appreciated.

yeah, i'd go with the second option and wait a bit to let her recover from what's happened. i dont think she'd like to get rushed into another relationship.

good luck with it mang

however, i shall be preparing the goats in a matter of minutes. brb

Wow, this is really similar to a situation I'm in. @_@

My advice would be to wait a bit before asking her out. Don't waste your chance because she's still hurt over the previous relationship. Just don't wait too long, either, or you may miss your chance. =[

Definitely wait a bit, but don't completely act uninterested. She'll pick up on it and wonder if you do even like her anymore. However, you said your best friend is her ex? Are you sure you want to play around with that kind of thing? Because if you do, you might have to be prepared to be on the receiving end of an ultimatum.

My ego...It's OVER 9000!
What everyone above says: ^

She'll be more rebellious towards going out, especially w/ you if ya push it.

I have a similar problem, though I've never asked my "girlfriend" out. She's just not ready and I can tell just by talking to her normally and her relationship/attitude towards boys.:sonic:

Edit: If my best friend was my crush's ex boyfriend I'd be all like: "Sorry dude, you gotta go, cya.lol"

I've managed to stay friends with my best friend, AND date his ex.

Then again, it really matters what went on between them.... a lot... <_<

My best friend knew he had his chance, he blew it, and... was actually ok with us dating. So long as I kept her happy.

Wait a while :)
& what Alessandra said, one of your "best friends" is her ex, don't like the sound of that.

I'm going to generalise here and say, It's sad how a teen guy and girl can't maintain a platonic relationship without some level of attraction arising.

Unless of course one of them isn't all that easy on the eyes.

Well, I've tried to stay friends with her for a while, but I just couldn't stop the attraction rising, etc.

Stupid puberty and all of those hormones. >_<

Rebound relationships are never a good idea.

She needs some time to clear her head a bit.
