Hey all,

So there's this girl I got friends with at the start of this years Autumn semester at uni, at about the end of August. I wasn't into her at all, until a few weeks ago I did get feelings for her and now I really do like her. How can I get her to like me in return and start a relationship? We are good friends now, and it is easy to meet her without suspicion or pressure.

She (21 years) has been in several relationships before, which she didn't like as her bfs were too perverted and some (or one) left for someone else. Therefore she does not want to date, at least, that is what she told me. At the moment she is single.

There is a, close to, 10 years older guy with whom she is very close friends with, maybe too close for my benefit? He is an interesting guy with an extensive CV and good looking, I am friends with him actually. Those two hang out often, and when she got playfully sad during a board game one of her female friends told her to think about him, so maybe there's more going on there? Fuckbuddy or he is someone she likes very much but maybe he only wants her as a friend or otherway around, what could it be?

Myself, I am a 23 year old virgin, have never kissed a women or done anything else intimate. I have sometimes been complimented on my looks by people not close to me, so I shouldn't be that ugly. However, I can be very socially awkward at times, but I am able to have a proper, interesting and fun conversation at times. I like hanging out with people and often socializing does go fine, but I am still a shy person. I have backpacked a lot around the world, been in about 32 countries, I am less afraid to travel alone to the other side of the world than to hit on a girl. Still, how to create intimate moments with a women, sexual attraction, or to go from being her friend to becoming her boyfriend, is completely a mystery to me. The total lack of skill on going intimate and sexual may be my main issue.

I would love to do day gaming, approaching nice ladies on the streets, but I am just too much of a coward. I have only done it a few times, but I will push me to do it more. It may be why I am too much focusing on just this one girl, instead of focusing on more.

Please enlighten me with your wisdom on this matter, for I am in the dark ages when it comes to women
