Dear Queenie,
I have been friends with a woman I know for a long time. We are interested in the same things and can talk to each other about anything and except for being male and female we are very much alike.
Recently she seems to be flirting with me sometimes and once when we got up from our visit to go home she kissed me on the cheek. It made me feel there could be something more between us but I don’t know how to tell her that in case it might spoil our friendship.
Queenie, what do you suggest?—Hesitating
Dear Hesitating,
I think you may be right and your friend is just waiting for you to make the first move. However, that kiss might be considered a “first move”, so I suggest you ask her – as casually as you can – if she would like to take your friendship to a next level.
If she would not, or if she agrees and things do not work out well, your friendship may be a bit strained for a while, but if you do not even try you will always wonder what you might have missed out on.
