Dear Starry-Eyed,

Okay, so let me reiterate the dynamics of your relationship with this guy. You and this 'cute' and 'funny' guy get along well and have much fun in each other's presence. You also joke about each other. It seems to me that there are two possible forces at work here. Either you are in the process of developing a very close friendship with this guy or alternatively, there is some serious flirting going on between you two. You obviously have romantic feelings for this guy. However, the reason why you are probably hesitant to ask this guy out is because you are still uncertain about his feelings for you. I am sure there are a myriad of questions you seek answers for. For instance, are his feelings expressed toward you purely platonic? Or does he have deep-seated passionate emotions for you, which are hidden behind his comical exterior? Girlfriend, I suggest you develop the confidence, and ask him out for coffee or a movie on a one-to-one basis. Talk to him openly about the way you feel about him. If he tells you that he wants to be your friend only, you may feel a little awkward at first. This is perfectly normal. But at least you will be relieved, and you can say you gave it a go. If confrontation makes you weak at the knees, just remember repressing your feelings will only make you feel a little 'dazed' and 'confused'. Go for it girl. Good luck!
