So, I've been friends with this girl for like a good 2 or 3 years. Our friendship is as strongest as ever. I really like her a lot. Summer vacation is coming up and I'm going to The Caribbeans for 2 months. I don't want to ask her out because I'm only gonna see her for a month and then leave for a long time. I've been cheated on and I don't want it to happen so I'm afraid if I leave she's going to want someone else while I'm gone. I also wanted to wait until I got back, but I think if I leave she's probably gonna get into someone else or she's not gonna have the same feelings for me anymore if I wait. So, I'm basically in a hard decision. P.S. She likes me too.

If she's someone like me (or most of the friends I have) she'll probably love you enough to be loyal regardless if you ask her out or not. You've been friends a long time and from those years, was she ever with someone else while you were not together? if the answer is Yes, probably she doesn't really like you the way you like her. But if you tell me that she doesn't have any other relationship in those 3years, she's probably waiting for you to ask her.

She's been single for that time and I always flirt with her and tell her how much I love her. Then I go do something stupid and go date another girl and she always tells me when I'm single again that I left her for someone else. I was talking her earlier and she was hinting that she likes me and I did the same. I told her I liked her. But, my AIM signed off and I can't sign on so I guess I'm gonna talk to her tomorrow in school.

Well, before you go ahead and talk to her about your feelings, make sure that you won't go hurting her again. If you're not serious enough to try to make it work - better keep the friendship instead.

Then you just have to tell her how you feel and all that. If you have been cheated on before, that's okay. It doesnt mean that when you were cheated on before and you have to take that against her too. She's a different person and you can always try to make things work out. Stop thinking about the things that's gonna happen you're not going to be around. In the law of nature, the law of attraction states that the more you're going to think about it then the more it will happen to you. Think positively!

You like her and she likes you . Ask her out! You can fill a whole month with so much fun that when you do go , both of you Won't want anyone else.No one can predict the future. But it seems like a waste of precious time to Not see each other that month before the trip. Won't you have internet access on vacation? Or cell phone service? You Can keep in touch.

If both of you likes each other then there is no reason for you to hesitate in asking her out. If your feelings are real and mutual, then surely both of you will be loyal to each other. Even if you two are far away from each other, just don't let your communication die and everything will be just fine. Currently I'm in a long distance relationship (although not that far) and everything is just fine. The only thing that you two will need is trust and love. If any of those two factors fades away, that when everything will start to tremble.

you don't know what to do! This is the point. You should think about it and find the best solution. She can't forget you right? even if you go on holiday. you said you had a strong friendship , so she can't do this to you. In both cases it is your decision!

ask her bro. dont let her get away. long distance can be hard at times, but if you last and make it work youll have a stronger bond. and it CAN work, I know people who've gotten themselves into long distance relationships they toughed it out, and now there married and live with each other. so theres no reason not to see where it will end up, and if something happens whos to say you guys cant stay friends afterwards?

Hi and welcome to mylot! What you tell us is something that you will have to answer for yourself. Noone can do it for you. But if you are going to be away for a long time, if you are so young, why not live the minute? But I don´t mean to make her expect more than you want to give. Truth is important in any relation because there´s respect for the other. I hope everything comes out the best, Happy posting!

So you are afraid if you do tell her she will get with another guy? First of all you have obviously liked her for quite sometime so have a little faith in her. I would say yes tell her because it would be better going away knowing that she knows than her getting serious with someone while you are gone. Also if you are only now thinking about taking that leap from friends to lovers it would be better to tell her and then leave so you guys have time to experience a longing for eachother, and you can be at peace and enjoy yourself even if you're sad. It's always better to just get it out there. Good Luck and enjoy your trip!

I think you better let her know that you like her very much. You need to tell her face to face cause girls are normally shy. If you just keep quiet, she also dun know you are 100% like her or not. she will think that you just treat her as best friend.

I think you should just let her know what you are thinking. I mean if she likes you it is possible that she won't cheat on you or anything.

I feel you like her alot, but are afraid that what you did before if she might do than you lose her,I feel you should give some hint to her that you are having feeling for her, she has been your friend for long so she might been too having feeling for you , she might be just waiting for you to come up.Other way could also be that as previously u cheated so she might not been sure whether you like her , so best thing is you could give out hint.As she has been you friend for long she msut even understanding with you.just try to express your feeling to her in some form of hint or something.If she too has same feeling for you than you will understand from her reaction. All the best

Don't make a decision when you are not ready...Just wait for the right time to come. But if I were you just enjoy your company as friends together. Am afraid that if you find another woman better than her, this would lead to a painful experience on her part.

I think the 2 or 3 years of being together is enough to know that you trust her or not. If you both like each other then be it. Express. Tell her that you like her. Gamble yourself from telling her that you like her before its too late. Two months is too short compared to your 2 or 3 years being together. Trust in her the way you trust each other. For me, friendship is a good foundation for a relationship. Don't think negatively as it will just ruin the supposed to be good music that you two will be creating. So stop those negative thoughts and start thinking positively. Goodluck!

Well criizz180, Isn't this the classic, you want something and yet being afraid. My question are you afraid more. To have the girl that you love, or just live in world of regret having missed the opportunity. Yes there is a chance she might cheat on you. Realise she might have the same thoughts going through her too. you might be cheat on her with you are at the Caribbeans. So what is it you want?

I think it's not that hard my friend. My advice to you is take a shot, you will never know until you try it..If it will not work then go on with your life..but what if it will? Take a shot because I think you have a good chance, as what you've said that she likes you also..
