    So I'm very much attracted to this guy in my college. I like him, I like being around him and I wanna get closer to him, but the thing is I don't wanna end up in the "friend zone" with no hope of it becoming something more, because I kinda want it to.

    So, my question is "How do I get close to a guy I'm really attracted to without ending up in the friend zone permanently?"

    BTW this guy's the first guy I've seriously tried to get close to someone and building some kind of connection before trying to take things further.

    Well...
    Do you know if he's queer or not?
    Seems like a dumb question, but it's a legit one.

    Well you could ask him to dinner, or ask to try things out. It really depends on how you approach things. Make it clear that you like him differently than just a friend.

    courage my friend! :grin:

    Eh, I tend to call the whole "friend zone" bull.

    Just make sure he knows that you are flirting with him. That's really all it takes. Not in a whore-ish kind of way, but just your normal flirting haha I need a new way to explain that xD
