Hey guys!

Been looking at the site for a while now, trying to learn as much as possible and trying to work out what I want from it all...so here goes my first post

There's a girl from school, who I've known since I was about 13 years old, but never really spoke to at all whilst there. Since leaving and moving away (with various girlfriends in between) I've now found myself in the situation of living and working in London, and she does too. And, we're both single.

I'm really really into this girl, and conveniently she lives with a good friend of mine, so I've managed to arrange a couple of meet ups for dinner/drinks etc. since moving to London. But I want to take it to the next level with her, and I'm not really sure how.

She's openly admitted she's not confident with guys, she'll make eye contact for a second before looking away etc. and hasn't had a bf in ages, but this was all revealed under my 'freidnship blanket', so I'm sure if she saw me as a potential there's no way she'd be that forthcoming. WHAT DO I DO?!

How can I get this to the next level? How can I signal my interest without making things awkward afterwards if she's not interested? I really like this girl and it seems like perfect timing as we're both here and both single AND both looking...I dont want this to walk right past me and her to meet someone else before I've at least had a chance.

Really appreciate any help!!

If you havent done it by this point you probably wont.
