You know what I'm going to suggest don't you? Yep! Read the sentence and when you take a breath insert a comma or a full stop. ;)

Incog. :Peaceman:

hear hear ... this is the soundest advice in the whole thread, IMHO. This girl is a friend already, she's going to wonder what's up if you start acting in any way differently than you do normally when you're together. You need to be honest and talk to her, just how you normally would about serious stuff. The only thing I would be careful of is don't broach the subject while you're somewhere she might feel trapped or obliged to behave in a certain way (like in your car, if you have one). Her home territory, or somewhere neutral, is best.

Relax, be honest, but don't come on all heavy.

EDIT: And don't forget to tell us all how it goes!

Returning to the subject of the thread: of course you could always try the Kevin "Bloody" Wilson technique (warning it's rude!):

I think it also depends on how you know the person, Family Friend? school? work? etc

Say something non-commital like "She's just not my type".

If she asks you to decide what film to watch, don't throw it back at her by saying that you insist she choses: women tend to like a decisive man. When she talks, make sure all your attention is on her and look her in the eye for a nano-second longer than you would normally. Any more than this and you can expect a restraining order within a week.

If you DO end up going on a date, don't call her until 3 days after. Any less and you'll come across as desperate. Any more and she'll think you're playing games with her.

Be romantic yet masculine, be assertive yet considerate. Women seem to love all that pants :D

:nono: dont call her for three days? russ i am totally and utterly shocked

to the thread starter i agree with the others be yourself, meant to say it before but thought it was a tad obvious :blush:
