Title: I hate to ask this but...
Post by: Jyynx on May 24, 2012, 02:29:44 AM
Um, well I need 'affection advice' and I guess I'll just give it cut and dry:

So guy has known girl now for a while and always had it in the back of his head that he likes girl.  After getting to know girl, guy likes her more, because they share a lot of common interests and ideas, and they get along together.  One day girl figures out guy is a furry... On her own... This scares guy.  However, girl is really great about it, and actually think its cute, and goes to be one of the most supportive people for guy.  Now guy really likes girl, as she is probably one of the best people in guys life.  Now guy wants to tell girl his affection, but guy is scared.  Guy isn't sure girl loves him back, and is afraid a friend zone will happen if he does share his emotions.  Now guy isn't sure that girl isn't crushing another guy and is devistated at his own fear to say something to her.  Though guy hasn't been with anyone in a long long time and girl has never been with anyone, which crushes guy more, because he wants to help, but is too afraid and dosnt exactly know how.  Even more concerning is that girl is older than guy at about three years... And girl graduates this year, so guy isnt sure about what to do...
Does anyone know what guy should do at all, as he's quite lost...

I think, generally, you have next to nothing to lose by going for it. Friend zone will be friend zone, whether you speak now or later, generally wont matter, if it happens it happens. I don't think there is anything you can do about that.
Sometimes though, I think, if you value the friendship more than the affection, or as much, that can really complicate things. But, if you truly have strong feelings, generally 'just' friendships can fall apart. Thus, it is really best to let said feelings be known, in my opinion.

I'd say go for it, especially if you're going to soon loose contact or anything like that, because it will bring more negative emotions if you let the opportunity pass by.

letting the opportunity pass by and regretting it is worse than telling said girl, and having to 'get over it,' or, better yet, having a positive response! :D

again, I'd say go for it :P

We have family friends, a married couple, and the wife is 10 years older than the husband.

If you get in the friend zone, you can get out by simply saying "I want to be more than friends"

Go for it now or you will regret it later. If she doesn't have a boy friend, then tell her before you aren't

Even just take it slow and invite her out on a date to a movie and lunch.

Get in there my son :D
