the problem is, every time i try to get her to go out, she is always busy, with the same friend. (yes she is actually doing something with the friend... and not using it as an excuse to get out of doing something with myself)... what can be done? I invited her to a party last week, and she did come, but with that same friend.. it's like they are siamese twins now...

erm... actually i think i'm going to wait a big longer... give her 'space'... and see what happens... atm i'm worried that ElFenix is right, i've probably stepped into the 'friend' territory and there is no chance for me...

alright, I told a friend of mine (who is a girl) about your situation and she says that mostly likely she doesn't like you. The fact that she always bring her friend along indicates that she doesn't want to spend time alone with you. She probably senses that you like her, and she wants to avoid the awkwardness of being alone with you. Besides, since she just broke up with someone, it's a no-win situation for you if you try to move in right now because she's either going to lose respect for you for trying to take advantage of her vulnerable state, or she's going to use you as a rebound. What you should do is take things slow and just be supportive. Show your affection for her slowly and hopefully she'll realize what a great guy you are and reciprocate your affection. Good luck.

i actually went through an almost identical situation - except i'm the girl. so maybe what happened to me would be helpful. i was devastated after breaking up with my then boyfriend, and my best guy friend was really understanding and supportive. he wasn't aggressive, gave me a lot of time and space, but whenever i need someone he's there. eventually i got over the break up, and we're closer than we were before the whole incident. nothing more happened before a year went by, and very recently when he visited me, i suddenly realized how much i've been taking him for granted. all these years he's been there for me and i've never see that he's everything i've ever wanted. right now he's my boyfriend and i've never been happier. sure, there wasn't any passion or flying sparks, but i know this is the one guy that i can be with for a good, long time - we've already been together for a long time without my seeing it.
so give the lucky girl what my sweetie gave me, and when she turned around and saw you with her every step of the way, she'll be thankful that she has someone like you.

thoughts?"
All right, hon' . . . let's try this again, as it seems you are trying desperately to convince yourself. See, it appears that you do not speak women's tongue. Now, if you want to understand their language, listen attentively. It's simple: there's no better way to tell Mr. Nice Guy that you appreciate him and he makes a great friend but there's no spark and it won't happen. She's telling that person in a subtle way that you're a sweet person, but you're too good for her. Wouldn't you feel guilty if someone was sweet but you weren't interested in the person? Wouldn't you want to give back something sweet in return (i.e., complimenting the person)?
The best you could get out of this is the following: You do the crap of chasing her just after she broke up with someone, then she'll get carried away a bit. You'll then think you have her and do all sorts of nice things, spend money on her, etc. But guess what? Tomorrow you'll see her with the man she cares for. It's your choice whether to get real or not.
Okay, I hope those lectures weren't in vain. I'm done.

Yeah, be a good guy and wait until she starts to check you out (use your super game). Then it is open game because she started it and you are obliging....
