one of my best friends is a girl i have known nearly forever, we hang out all the time and i have always liked her more than friends. i once told her that i liked her, but she said i cant because we were best friends (but we were also both drunk.) just recently she asked me to go somewhere with her to eat, i was expecting only as friends. but then one of her pals says to me. "i hear you have a date with (her name)" i say, "huh?" she says, "(her name) told me shes busy tomorrow night because she has a date with you. does this mean she likes me, or did she just mean a date as friends?

It's hard to say. Maybe you need to ask her how she feels about the situation.

Girls are complicated. I'd say part of her wants to really be with you as more than a friend. Then there are the parts of her that are thinking that if things go bad between the two of you, she'll lose her best friend. Girls love their friends, so you'll just have to make some terms with her that if you start dating, and break up you'll try to (slowly) go back to the friends that you were.

You know the idea that guys who have female friends are constantly sizing them up as potential girlfriends, and don't become friends with girls they aren't interested in? It's half-right for girls, too. Although girls WILL become friends with guys they aren't interested in, they also constantly consider what it would be like to be with you. Unless the girl has a will of iron, she has no idea what she really wants, so you may become a viable option. Best to tell her outright that you're interested in her; she'll enjoy it, even if it turns out she's not thinking about you that way...yet. Tell her you're interested, but you don't want to lose her friendship, and you're willing to remain friends with her if that's all she wants. She'll eat it up no matter what's going on in her mind. I AM a girl, so I know the tricks a guy should use to hook one.

I'm thinking she is just meaning as friends. If you told her that you wanted to be more than friends a long time ago then maybe you could tell her again and see what she says. If it was recent then I wouldn't risk it. Good luck.

Sounds to me like you just need to come right out and ask her. The two of you need to have a real discussion about it. She may just like you as a friend, but to other people it may seem that she really likes you more. The male/female friendship can be hard. But if you communicate and discuss it then you will know exactly where you stand. lol

Well, you'd have to ask her to find out for sure. People can go on a date with a friend, and does not have to mean someone of interest. The best way to find out is to ask her yourself and tell her how you feel.
Good luck!

the word "date" seems to have different meanings in different parts of the country (world, even!). here in california a date can be romantic, or just friends hanging out, or it can be "lets-pretend-we're-on-a-date-and-then-decide-if-it-really-was-a-date" ... that last one will get you every time!

Ask her if you all are good friends like you say that you should feel more than comfortable talking to her

Don't read too much into this.. you won't know until you go out. Since she is the one who is hesitant, let her be the one to make the first move.

take this very slow, because you could end up with no best friend and no date
