Love that has not friendship for its base is like a mansion built upon the sand - ella wheeler wilcoxEver had a crush on a friend? If you declare your devotion and are met with, "Really? Um, I'm flattered, but I like you as a friend," your friendship might go through an awkward phase -- or possibly slide down the tubes. So hold your cards cloaser to your chest as you attempt to gauge the person's interest. Look in his/her eyes and notice if those baby blues (browns, greens, or hazels) gaze back. Touch the person lightly on the arm, and see if there is a shift toward you -- or away. Dress up a little; suggest taking a walk; use the person's name -- e.g., "David, that is so funny!" or "Pretty earrings, Olivia." Test the waters before jumping in.
If you're brazen, consider saying, "I heard a crazy rumor that we were going out. Can you imagine?" otice if the person (a) gags or (b) turns purple or (c) smiles and says, "Not so crazy -- I have a good imagination," thereby lobbing the ball back in your court.
Miracles do happen. Friendships do blossom and evolve and sometimes catch fire. In the movie
Broadcast News, Aaron Altman said, "I would give anything if you were two people so that I could call up the one who's my friend and tell her about the one that I like so much."
But miracles are rare. So if your friend-crush keeps blathering on about his/her crush on
someone else, take heart. Sparkling friendship often outlasts fragile romance, and guy-girl friendships are wonderful in their own right. Besides, if you wait awhile, someday your friend might see you in a new light -- or
you might wonder how you ever considered those lips kissable.
Friendship into love? Proceed with caution.[end]
