    To cut a long story short had a drunken fumble for want of a better word a few weeks ago with a friend. Now we are not close friends or anything. More aquantinces really until last few months where due to work situation we saw more of each other. Thing is i kind of like her. Before this hook up i'd jokingly make flirty comments etc. Never really much of a reaction all in jest really. We hooked up when we were both flaming and she had left when I woke the next morning. There wasn't really any ackwardness to be fair. We both got a bit of stick from mutual friends blah blah.

    Thing is I see her about once a week now and have been trying to gauge the situation. Like cpl days ago she asked casually what I was doing for the night, and I said "i dunno what are WE doing" just joking, but it got a big laugh and seemed well recieved there have been many of similar instances, so I dunno does this mean anything. I mean I don't recall her been so receptive to jokes like this before the night in Question. Plus when I was leaving after a few of us had a few drinks last week I got a big "where are you going" (to be fair this may have been just because it is unusual for me to be the 1st to leave when we are all having beers...but still got me thinking abit.

    i KNOW ye will say man up and just ask her out, but it aint that easy, lots of mutual friends and really could do with out the ackwardness, I will have a go i the opportunity arises but would anyone have an opinion on what the chances might be. or am I in the friend zone (again!!!!)

    Not as short as I thought it would be. Sorry

    It's honestly impossible to tell as nobody here knows you or her. I say your bets bet is ask her out, and if you are too shy to do that, make sure you spend a lot of time together on your next night out and throw the lips on her! Is there a big group night out planned soon? If so you could maybe text her and ask if she is going too?:)

    See, there is an atmosphere there already from you wondering if anything can come from it!

    I'd ask her out, do it soon before you revert to just friends again!

    So you hooked up, left it at that, but you're both still friendly with eachother and interested in eachother's lives.

    That's usually a green light, she's attracted to you, so stop overanalysing it and if you're really interested in her, ask her out. She will probably accept and if she doesn't she'll likely tell you in a friendly way that it's not going to happen and there'll be no awkwardness. Avoid having a "date" with mutual friends. If you're going to have a date, it has to be one-on-one.

    you are going to have to take a risk and ask her out properly. its not a big deal if she says no. ask her out and do it properly. and see what happens.
