Should I make a move on this guy?

[Popcorn08]

I have feelings for one of my guy friends, he is lovely, we get on great and I think he feels an attraction to me too - although nothing has ever happened and neither of us have ever tried to take it up a notch.
Only problem is he is literally only 2 months single from a 2 year relationship. It ended mutually as it was long distance and neither of them wanted to move to the others location. He doesnt seem heartbroken, but I understand it isn't really healthy to jump from one thing to the next... but I really wanna date him!! I know I should be patient but argh I really like him :(

Yes.

2 months is long enough.
But do you value the friendship? Will it stand up to you making a move? If so, then go for it. Do it while you're drunk and then you can blame it on the drink

Go for it

Do it before someone else does.

My instinct is that he isn't ready to date just yet though... because I feel like if he was then he would have made the move on me already?!
Blaming it on drink would be a good idea, but I don't drink and he knows that so I can't do that! How can I phrase it in a way that won't ruin our friendship or make things awkward if he says he isnt ready to date??

I have read somewhere that if a man becomes romantically interested in a friend, he is not really concerned about ruining the friendship - because he gets a relationship instead.

So if you make a move and he says that he values your friendship too much it means he is not into you.

What I would recommend is to start acting in a flirty and girly - rather than matey - way around him. He will make a move if he wants to date you.

I think you might be a rebound job after 2 months. You run the risk of being the person he gets Under to get over, if you catch my drift

Same goes for "he is not ready to date" - a nice and well-meaning explanation that he does not see you that way. Man is always ready to date a woman he likes, if she is up for it too.

Well it sounds like his last relationship just fizzled out, if there had been something more dramatic then he probably would need longer.

Maybe casually drop into conversation a question about if he's ready to date yet, you know talk about Love Island or something

Go for it

Don't wait for him to make a move. If you like him make a move first. If he isn't ready for a full on relationship just take things slow or have a fwb situation first.

If he isn't ready for a full on relationship just take things slow or have a fwb situation first.

Sorry but this is the worst advice ever

Yes, I am cautious of being a rebound. I am also majorly worried about being rejected! Although I do believe it is better to know, than to not know and wonder!
It would just be so cringy if he said 'Sorry, I don't see you like that'
Should I message him telling him I like him more than a friend? How can I word it?!

Have you got a mutual friend that could sound him out? To tell him that they think that popcorn08 may like them more than just a friend.

2 months is long enough really to make a move. Hell my boyfriend had really just got out of a relationship when we became friends and started hanging out as friends which progressed to dates and then a couple. But we took it all slow as although we liked each other he wasn't ready for a relationship just yet. I didn't care either way, was happy just hanging out with him as friends. I knew deep down anyway he wanted me but just wasn't ready for it. It was always a joke of ours that I have always known what he is thinking before he does.

Yes, suggest you meet up just as friends if he would like some female company, and see what his reaction is

Go for it by all means, but be prepared for ramifications for the friendship if it doesn't work out. If you really are friends you may be able to get over it but situations like this will challenge a friendship if it turns out its not reciprocated on his side.
