nova, why would women hate to admit we don't like needy men? I have no trouble 'admitting' that.

ok, a sure way to get into the 'friend' zone is to not ask her. You have to ask her, because if you don't, she will assume you are not interested and automatically slot you in the friend zone. She may say no. who cares? it'll improve your confidence in the end. If a relationship with her is not to be, then it's best you get a direct answer so you can move on!

You've only known her since the beginning of the college year, I assume, and haven't even been on a date with her, and already you love her? I'd say it's just a simple case of over-using the word love. You just like her- and like can be a very strong and meaningful feeling.

I say since you've already been talking with her for a while, you should know enough about her to ask her out and/or tell her you like her. If you don't risk this and just wait, you _will_ end up in the friend zone, where as if you risk it, at least you'll have tried, and hopefully she likes you back!


MOST of all.. kid, you're only 16! Don't take it too seriously, you've got plenty of time to learn all of this.

(also.. how are you 16 and in college?)
