tigressA Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I live in a house on my school's campus with 9 other people. Of those 9, I spend most of my time with 4 of them, two guys and two girls. I found out last week that one of the guys likes one of the girls. I think it's so cute because he always came off like a sarcastic hard-ass (in a cool way), but when he admitted he liked her there was this unmistakable softness and shyness in his tone. They've only known each other from living in the house together so far this semester--since the end of August. They spend a lot of time together, either alone or in a group setting. I was actually suspicious about them for weeks on end, though I hadn't speculated with anyone within the house. They have an inside joke about being engaged (we went out to Cracker Barrel once and he 'proposed' to her with a biscuit). I would really love to help him out; I think they would make an adorable couple, but I'm afraid he may have already been friendzoned into oblivion. I want to ask her about him without giving away that he likes her, and/or advise him on how to interact with her to put himself in a more romantic light, but I'm not sure how to or of what to tell him. Any advice?
SoulSearch_CO Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Cozy up to the girl (meaning friend-like) and girltalk, girltalk, girltalk, "So, Sally - how about that John? He's kinda cute, huh? Have you ever considered dating?" She's not going to know you've talked to him about it. You could make some comment about how they act together and casually say you saw a spark and wondered if they had noticed it, or not. I'd go that route, first, before trying to help out the guy. See if he IS friendzoned or not.
