    do you mean "what if" I weren't a big feartie? I know I should go for it and I'm building up to it but need to do it soon before some big blonde comes along and snaps him up. Gorgeous, funny and thoughtful and already gets on with all my family and friends - too good to be true and no he's not gay!

    Quick snap him up before anyone else does. What about approaching it indirectly like " I could do with a night out but no one is up for it"? See if he takes the bait...Failing that you could always jump on him in the lift at work, snog his face off and then when the doors open walk out and act like nothing happened. See what he does then :rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    what if it doesn't work out? and ruins years of friendship... and what if I think he's interested and he's not....:o just too many what ifs!

    If he's not interested, and he's a good friend, I'm sure he can let you know without hurting you.

    Equally, he's not much of a friend if can't remain friends after a relationship. All breakups don't have to be bitter.

I will of course be highly upset if anyone tries to get in said lift with us!
