I was just wondering.... I have a friend who was my former teacher and ever since the semester ended, we have talked through email all the time. We have also gone to lunch a couple of times since then. She is pregnant and married. She told me to call her by her first name by implying she wants to be friends and she actually got me and my b/f started on a hobby that her and her husband do. Well anyway.. I think she she is a really good person and I would really like our friendshipto progress into where we become better friends as in that I mean talking on the phone and visiting each other at our houses and stuff like that. Well I am unsure if she wants to be friends like I do and I kind of wanted to ask her where she "stood". I dont know how to ask her though w/out seeming rude or ruining anything to where she got mad and never spoke to me again. Does it seem like if i kept on.. we might become good friends??What do you think?

Well it sound like your friendship is developing just fine why not just see how it goes and next time you meet for lunch or email each other why not say hey i was wondering if you and your husband wanted to come round for dinner and see what she says. that way you can see how she reacts and that way your not just outright asking her where you stood as friends and you won't make her feel uncomfortable if she says yes then give her your number and arrange a time and date and see where it goes from there.

If you are exchanging emails with her and no longer her student, then I see no reason why you couldn't become good friends. Wait until a cultural event or something pertaining to the class that you took comes around, and then shoot her an email. Tell her about it, and then ask her if she wants to join you at the event. I don't think there's cause for a big talk about whether or not you guys can be real friends...friendships don't usually start that way.

Cherish your friendship as it is now & don't ruin a good thing, by asking her the obvious question. Take a day at a time & by the sounds of things, you've got a friend for life. Good friendships can develop into great friendships, but it just takes time. Enjoy what you have now & don't worry about tomorrow, or you'll miss out on what you have today.

It seems to me, if you already had lunch & have e-mailed "all the time", the door is open....I don't think she would have done any of those things if she didn't like you as a friend. Maybe you could suggest dinner for the 4 of you one evening & see how she reacts.

Is this really all you have to obsess about? Friendship takes time to grow....years!!!! Quit trying to rush it. If you want them to come over to your house, then invite them for a BBQ and night of playing board games or watching movies. If they say no, fine, if they say yes, fine. Quit worrying about it and rushing it or you will lose her friendship.

Don't put it point-blank that way - try just simply inviting her over to your place for dinner, and her response will tell you everything!
