Its getting seriously prolonged! Soon you'll pass the Friend Terminal Horizon. You'll have established a friendship relationship. You're so fucked then. Or rather, just the opposite.

Grr...! See, if our mutual friends weren't so gossip hungry, I could bounce some of this off of them. But since a couple friends of ours recently broke up (and much drama ensued) I don't need to add my own into the mix.

I'm not quite up to speed on the way a guy's mind works when he's "hanging out" with someone who happens to be female. I know it's not all sexual, all the time. Even a guy's brain needs to take a break. Right?
What kind of namby pamby men have you known?

Having mutual friends, I'd go the Kindergarten Maneouvere. Tell them, "I like Pat and want to be his girlfriend." They'll go to Pat and say, "Biancy wants to be his girlfriend." At least you'll get the message across without losing face. If the response comes back negative, you'll know the deal.

This once worked for me by accident when I was 24: "Do you think I should ask her to a ball since she has a boyfriend?" and the answer came back, "Yes, you should, because she'll say yes."
