Same Old Story

    I know this has been asked to death in here but still:

    Basic guy/girl thing.

    Girl in college I get on with great. She is literally a model. I am a reasonable looking guy. She thinks I am really funny and I know for a fact that she has told her mom and all of her friends all about me. I met her mom at her birthday recently and she said "so this is xxxx, I have heard all about you, she never shuts up about you". Later that night when I told a joke she turned to her friend and said something like "i told you he was funny".

    This is a no-brainer right? I am just real unsure when it comes to this sort of stuff and never know if I am looking at a friend or something more.

    Thanks in advance

    At the moment, it could be either. The only way to know for certain is to ask her.

    For anything you want in life, you have a price to pay. Some things you pay for in advance, some things you pay for while you get them, and some things you pay for afterwards, but at the end of the day, all accounts are settled. What you are getting now is, in your head you can say "maybe she likes me". If you ask her, and she says no, you don't have that anymore. So, the price you are paying for indulging your fantasies is not knowing whether or not she really does like you.

    If you want to know if she really does like her, the price you pay is, you have to ask her, and she may say no. But - at least you'll know, and it's ALWAYS better to know. The thing is, if you keep it casual, at least you won't be burning your bridges - don't tell her you love her, just ask her if she'd like to go for a drink, just the two of you. Maybe she doesn't like you (although it sounds like she kind of does, although I'd be more sure of that if she said you were "hot" instead of "funny", but "funny" is good too), but you never know - maybe she has a friend who does, and who you'll like more.

    I think if she has been talking to her Mam about you this much and thinks you are funny those are two really good signs!

    Get in like Flynn!

    If you like her then you gotta go for it!

    Good luck!

    Life is too short...ask her out on a date to cinema or something casual...whatever you think she'll like. If you don't go for it I promise you that you'll regret it! Best of luck!

    No sure way of knowing without speaking to her. My other half has told me a few stories of guys she saw strictly as friends who got the wrong idea and to her shock and disappointment made clumsy moves. Cue end of friendship in all cases but one. (he put his feelings in an e mail)
    I would advise telling her you may be interested in being more than friends nothing too heavy, while making it clear that if she is not interested her friendship is very important .The funny thing is good.
    Best of luck and let us know how you get on.:)
