QASK HIM<br />
ANYTHING<br />
Love advice from our guy<br />
guru, Andy McBride<br />
Is it possible to<br />
go from friend<br />
zone to romance<br />
with one of your<br />
guy friends if you<br />
have only ever<br />
been platonic. If<br />
so, how do you<br />
do it?<br />
A. I’m sure the majority of us<br />
have been in this situation where<br />
you start to develop feelings for a<br />
friend. Depending on the depth of<br />
your friendship, it may be as simple<br />
as just being straight up and<br />
asking him if he would consider<br />
going on a date with you. If you<br />
aren’t that close of friends then I<br />
would recommend trying a group<br />
outing first so it’s not awkward<br />
and try to make it a point to spend<br />
more time with him than you<br />
normally would and then you can<br />
follow up with a text saying that<br />
you had a lot of fun and that you<br />
two should do something together<br />
sometime with no one else. The<br />
worst that can happen is he won’t<br />
feel the same way towards you and<br />
only like you as a friend, in which<br />
case at least you’ll know for sure<br />
and it shouldn’t make it weird between<br />
you two since you’ve been<br />
friends from the start. And who<br />
knows, he may feel the same way<br />
towards you and hasn’t wanted to<br />
say anything out of fear of losing<br />
your friendship. I’ve personally<br />
known a few relationships that got<br />
started that way and they are still<br />
together. Just remember: You’ll<br />
never know if you don’t try!<br />
