“There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on . . .

“There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”

Billy Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Define "got weird afterwards"

2:36pm

Ask her out again. If you don't, you will always wonder "what if". The worst

Jdoc

2:36pm

Yes. Possible girlfriend is much more valuable than a non-romantic female friend

RoboKayne

You’ve come to the right place for advice…

2:37pm

Ask her out. If it gets weird again, then

Post a picture and CB will let you know if she worth pursuing.

Do you have any interest in someday marrying this girl?

YOLO! Just ask her out. If it's going to work out, it will. Be confident, but

Women will make it obvious if they’re interested- if she says no, move on

Dating in this century sucks. Go back to the tried and true methods.

Okay, boomer.

Many year of thinking “what if”, relationships haven’t change much.

That's like saying the Constitution doesn't work in modern times. Yes it does,

4:37pm

Imagine the reverse post by the girl

2:43pm

Ask her asap. If she says no or is weird, stop wasting time being her friend.

KayakCoug

Your future wife endorses this advice. Especially if it’s this girl.

Shawarma

2:51pm

If she is actively trying to hang out with you and talking with you for hours,

Russell Feathers

2:44pm

Or, to play devil’s advocate, she enjoys the safety of the friend zone. Either

Big Daddy D

2:54pm

Yup, if she "likes the safety of the friend-zone" she needs to be "friend dumped" to know that zone isn't appropriate in

Bert609

4:30pm

Bro once you do get married you aren't having a relationship with this girl. So if you maybe want that to be her

Powerful truth I learned almost too late and everyone should know

HRCougar

Just be honest and express how you feel let that play out. She could just reject

As an old man, Here is my advice. Ask her out. If she says let’s just be friends

DiamondDog

Ya ask her out. Either it’s meant to be or it’s not. Don’t waste time if its not

You've got nothing to lose here, except a friend who will not be your eternal

Incentivize

2:55pm

If you want or need a friend go find some guys to hang out with that

cougfanz

2:56pm

you can do a couple different things. Assume the sale (aka presumptive close)

icecougar

I like this. I think people get ahead of themselves with the DTRing and talking

RoboKayne

Ask her if she wants to get some pizza and make out. If she says no,

Buddy...

Jack Teacher

You won’t somehow friend her into a relationship if that’s what you are asking

canuckchuck

2:59pm

I'm not sure what "hanging out" means but you can just improve the hanging out

BYU Fan

3:04pm

To me it sounds like you are already going out if you are "hanging out" and

Murray

3:07pm

YOLO. Many of us with the benefit of hindsight can share that we've probably

Thrill

3:07pm

Don’t just ask her out yet build attraction first

jes2332

3:08pm

Show her your post, then ask for her thoughts and advice on it.

You should be dating non-exclusively. You should have a roster

gopman

I love the bravado but how do you know he's the prize and not her?

qwerew

Stop wasting money on somebody else's wife.

Dark Forest Green

Poop or get off the pot. She obviously likes you.

See if she needs a ticket to a football game

Force her hand by asking another girl out.

bricej13

You need to Define The Relationship(DTR). Ask her if she wants to date or just be good friends.

John Doe

Your status as homework buddy seems solid. And by that I mean, it doesn't seem like you are risking anything

mokelembembe

Seems obvious. How about "So what do you think? Should we go out again?"

jsaskew

Ask her out again. Could be "the one."
